AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! It is snowing and snowing and snowing in Massachusetts... There's already like 8 inches of white powder fluff on the ground... We had some weather warm enough to melt some of the old snow, and now we're getting new snow. Well, back to hard labor for me... What's the weather like where you are?

Neah Bay is on the ocean, at the northwest tip of Washington. We don't really get any snow. Winter so far has meant lots of rain, and fairly constant 50 degree weather. No complaints here! Not as nice as Basheva's San Diego, but here it never gets too cold or too hot.

It's been snowing here for a couple of days , but the sun is finally peeking out today. I'm hoping that this is indication of a nice, sunshine filled weekend, but I'm not holding my breath. If it's not, Ill just have to build some snowmen.

Gotta love Calvin and Hobbes....

We've had a cold snap here in Orlando as well. Last night it got down to nearly forty.

Still have that aversion to chickadee-sized insects, Stefan?

It's 22 degrees here, and it's one o'clock in the afternoon. Last night it was in the single digits. Gross.

Wertz, you got any room in Florida? I can cope with Chickadee-sized insects.

Room can always be made.

Its funny... as soon as we get a heavy snow like this, everybody does a weeks' shopping, and starts talking about the Blizzard of '78... I finally finished the first round of shovelling, and round 2 will probably come when/if this snow ends... This could be the beginning of a new ice age to hear people talking around here...

According to the major weather cable network which will remain unnamed... The snow here may accumulate to 2-4 inches... They need a better satellite or something, we're currently under about 10 inches of the white stuff.

What makes this worse is that this snow isn't even any good for making snowmen...

<grabs her sandals, her sunglasses, and her beach towel and starts walking to FLA to hang out with Wertz>

Stefan, you coming?

I'm sure Wertz would be a fine host, but I doubt I'll ever step foot in a tropical climate again... I'll just keep my butt in the "temperate zone", thanks.

Tis nice here in Georgia, but I wanna go home.
There may be snow there, and slush
That's ok, what's the fuss?
Take me home.

Living where it's warm is very nice.
But, I'll put up with snow and ice
Just to be where I belong.
For I've been gone too long.
Take me home.

Some like it warm all year long and that's grand
They don't like the cold, I understand
It's warm here and it's sunny
But, the people all talk funny (just kidding!)
Take me home.

I want to hear snow crunch underfoot when I walk
I want to see my frozen breath when I talk
I want to sit and dream by my own hearth
Because home is the best place on earth!
Take me home Whaaaaaa!!

MT- was that supposed to read like an Irish drinking song or was that just in my head?

I want the SUMMER BACK!

I love the cold but NOT THIS COLD! I can accept 50 or 40 degrees but not 30, 20, 10, or NEGATIVE HIGHS!

Well, I WAS drinking a few cups of Irish coffee when I wrote it.

But I think I may have been a bit hasty about wanting to leave this fine place. Below is an e-mail from one of me friends. I'm not so lonesome for home since reading it.
----------------------------------------------

But, my dear, tis so darn cold in Madison right now, that we are all freezing! UGH!
So you might be sorry when you return for with the windchill factor, is below zero this past week.

I'm sitting with the electric heater blowing directly on me full blast and still feel cold.
I wanna go where it is warm!!!!!
