That sucks, Tom. I remember being out west in Idaho ready to gnaw my own arm off after not seeing the sun and dealing with the cold and snow for months on end. That is one of the major reasonsI am back down here now. This place is no picnic in the summer, though.

Idon't kid anyone about the weather any more after 2004 when we got 4 hurricanes in 6 weeks.

Dennis,

I remember those hurricanes, I missed 3 of them, was off in Mississipi for #2 in Wisconsin for #3 and in South Carolina for #4. I still would rather have the warm weather over cold.

Tom,

I moved out of Wisconsin as soon as I was old enough to leave home, I had already had enough cold weather, Joined the Army and the only warm places they ever sent me someone was shooting at me. Moved to Florida permanent over 30 years ago.

The last bit of snow in my front yard melted last Saturday--today we had 6 inches of heavy wet snow. I'm really sick of winter...

I know where the flowers have gone. They are out here in the Antelope Valley.

A little bit further on:

[Gumnut]

if it is any consolation we are heading towards winter, not away from it

not that we get snow

Flowers are overrated! I would like to see some more snow pics Tom! Not necessarily of your car though:roll:. Seriously, I love snow scene photographs.
