Well, I am now confused...where do you all live? Can someone get a pic of a globe and put markers where you all are?? Not exactly, like street....that would be a weird request.
Maybe you guys do. Sometimes I feel like I'm living on the surface of the sun here. Sunny southeast Florida here. Basically summer all year round except for a couple of days in Jan/Feb (when the more northern parts of the US get snow, all we get down here are their cold air leftovers! )
So you live due west of York but double their cold. I live due west of Sochi.... you know, the warm weather spa where somebody decided you could ski. On my yard, you could ski but I'm not giving medals except in driveway clearing.
Ya JA, you told me you had the flu, nice work on getting over it. Oh yes, we received our once-every-four-years-blizzard-which-contains-twice-as-much-snow-as-all-the-other-years-combined last weekend. We now have only two small piles of snow in our yard, and no water rationing. Take that everyone!
glad you're feeling better and have power JA! man, fire sure does trump snow for complaining rights...that's scary as heck...glad you dodged that bullet RG. but living north of 55 lat made me pucker...dear lord stevex. I'm just north of 35 lat, or as you call it, the tropics.
