We Could Talk About The Weather

"Yikes!! .... nothing like experience of extremes in the blink of an eye!"

We're used to that in New Jersey. We have a saying; if you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes.

Same here. My ancestry came from places where it was bitter cold. 40 and above I wear a tee shirt outdoors. 20-30 I wear a long sleeve shirt. Less than 20 I might wear a light jacket.

Well here we go, starting to pick up some ice and sleet. Almost hit the deck as I went out to the mail box.

75º today.
58º tomorrow.
45º Sunday.

Freezing rain and sleet outside now. Winter sucks

"Winter sucks"

I tend to agree, but you DO live in Wintersville. Then there is Winterthur, Switzerland, John and Edgar Winter.............

What you call winter will be warm to me when I move up to the Yukon in about 9-10 years. You can keep the blazing heat waves, tornadoes and hurricanes.

Due to global warming, in 10 years, the Yukon will be like the jungles of Ecuador.

Possible... very possible. But then it's just a natural cycle. ;)

We are due to get sleet and freezing rain on Sunday. Got the generator ready. Around here, a 1/2 inch of ice is like a guaranteed 3 day power failure.
