Too cute for words
About three inches of snow at my house last night. It's 25 degrees F and I'm at work.
:mope:

OTOH, it is entertaining watching the locals drive.

13. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce.

Okay, I was only going that fast on the freeway, but you get the point.
 
It's 0 Celsius here right now, a high of 10-ish (50F). No snow on the ground.

I'll GLADLY deal with a few weeks of almost freezing cold then decent weather rather than many many storms spread out throughout the weather.
 
I like it right here.
Go 15-20 miles in either direction, and it's a slightly different story many times.
I'm in a near perfect balance of foot hills, and systems mostly dissipate,
and split up from the terrain, and average jet-stream flows.

I believe I've had several tornadoes fly over without Any damage, but I still
stay prepared.
I plan ahead for ice, and other systems coming, but we've had nothing Really significant is several years. Well other than a few short lived ice storms.
 
It's blowing snow which isn't really laying, colder than 40 hells, and that wind is brutal. It was 74 earlier this week.

Is it April yet?
 
60 degrees now; going to drop to 30 tonight.

Plus we've had like 5" of rain since last night.
 
I guess now would be a bad time to mention how nice the weather has been over here this week, huh? :D
 
I'd point and laugh, but I'll be coming home next week...Its been in the upper 70s to mid 80s here in the daytime. I'll be miserable until summer...:mope:
