I'm not in too big of a rush for global warming... maybe I shouldn't have watched The Day After Tomorrow...
 
I know one thing --- it's toooo fricking cold here in East Texas. 33 right now -- projected 27 overnight. With the possibility of freezing drizzle until noon tomorrow.

Bah, humbug.
 
62* in Waldorf... All the hot air coming out of DC from the Bailout talks has settled in. :D
 
It's been in the 80's here...gotta love shorts, t-shirts and flip flops 10 days before Christmas! :D

Keep it up and you'll have a bunch of us knocking on your front door!! :D

Snowing with about six inches to be on the ground in a few hours. It's in the mid-20s but the wind chill is making it around 13. Rush hour isn't going to be fun. :(

All of a sudden going to Dayona for the 500 in the middle of this winter doesn't sound like a bad idea expensive as it may be

I could see my breath for all 4 hours I was out cutting pieced for AIRT2.

and I get to do more tomorrow more than likely.
 
I just saw -14° on the 5 day forecast.

They're no longer calling for a big snowstorm (we haven't seen real snow in SoMD. since 2003) - just another 2-4" of the wet stuff followed by record cold temperatures. :mad:

If it's gonna be like Alaska, can we at least get some snow :confused: I want some days off from work. :rolleyes:
 
The big one is coming
They say that all the time up here.

And then it ends up getting cold enough for a blizzard AFTER the storm leaves.

I'm no fan of snow but I'd like to see another significant snowfall. It would close schools for a week, maybe keep us out of work for a few days and allow me to get caught up on things.

The snow is much more enjoyable than the rain. I can deal with 6" of powdery snow. I can't deal with a half a foot of standing water.

The same is comming for us in the Mikwaukee area. It doesn't drift as badly here, we just get a lot of lake effect snow and ice. Snow blower is ready
to go. I have the feeling this isn't going to the the last "big one " this season, Bucky.:mad:

Road trip to Daytona anyone??????????
 
One station here says 2-4, another 4-6 and the third 8-12 inches of snow starting tomorrow.

As for Daytona, think we're leaving Feb 3rd to get down for the World Series at New Smyrna starting on 2/6. We'll see the truck race on the 13th and Busch on the 14th, tickets for them are readily availible. Might just stay in front of the motel TV for the 5-hunnert. Prices for those tickets are insane!
 
From uncle near Spokane (Liberty Lake):

Close to 3 feet of snow in the past 24 hours and it is still snowing. It is
a record for Spokane. The whole city and county is affectively shut down.
Office is closed today but with internet/email that really does not mean you
stop working. I have shoveled our driveway twice just to keep up. Not sure
it matters because there is 2 feet of snow on our street. My 4Runner can
make it through but Dianne" PT Cruiser would not have a chance. Last year
was the 2nd highest snow fall in the history of Spokane-CDA and now I am
experiencing the biggest single snowstorm in history. Enjoying it and have
no intention of returning to California.

Yeah...It's gonna be another long winter

No kidding. This year they seem to be right on with the storms, too. It started snowing in the morning just as they said and it hasn't stopped and won't be stopping anytime soon. We're looking at around 10 inches. Gotta just love that "lake effect" we get here, too. :sarcasm:

Hubby got his big Christmas present yesterday. I managed to snag the last snow blower of the size we wanted yesterday. It looks HUGE compared to what we had. He tried it out for what was left from the day before and he came in all excited about how AWESOME it was. LOL We'll see how long he keeps liking going out there. Although he did say he was going to make sure everyone here learns to use it. heh heh He'll have plenty to do when he gets home and a lot more to do later. I think he should give our son lessons, don't you? ;)

Why not just hit the junkyard and snag the V6 out of a malibu? That would make that snow into cake.
 
It can't make up its mind. I had the sunroof open on the way home today.
 
It's still in the 80's down here, although it may cool down to the upper 70's next week... jealous??? ;)
 
I wouldn't keep it open too long, Tab. It is supposed to be winter again --- starting tomorrow.
aint no kiddin. Was 80 up here, then suddenly the door got opened.

AJK, you've been warned. 3rd time, you'll have to provide your address and enough money to pay for at least 5 to 10 round trip airfares plus rental cars. And possibly a little money to ISC to let us have a rental car race at homestead. :p

I went to the bassetball game today in shorts and a t-shirt. It was raining when I came out but still wasn't cold. About 60 degrees I'd guess.
 
A mid-winter mid-February trip to DAYTONA's sounding better and better by the week. :beerbang:
 
It was still warm today. It was 74, but should be in the 20's by monday morning.
