Perhaps we will just have a late winter. You know, Skiing for the July 4th holiday.
There's a bit of novelty in that.

If I were well off financially, I would be taking December/January holidays there.

Me too. My sister is backpacking there right now, for 9 months. She left in september and she'll be back in may. She said they have Christmas Poolparties. I can't imagine swimming outside with a christmastree next to the pool.

That's awesome. She's very lucky to be able to do that. The closest I got to a warm December/January was a month long backpacking trip in Central America, but that was ages ago. Now I'm lucky to take a long weekend to the coast.

Yep, that's it....not all that far from where my son is... :)
Oh man, I feel sorry for your son! The videos I've seen lately are horrible...people can barely see their houses.
He's not caught up in it, (he's in Homer) but yeah, they called out the national guard and all the emergency services to help those in trouble.
It's going up to the 60s here today - but we had some flooding over night from all the rain. (Not me, personally, I mean the area.)I don't mind... I'd rather it have been rain than snow!
It's supposed to be in the 40s and 30s for the weekend, tho. :(

It's supposed to hit the low 60's high 50's here today, too.
y'all can come visit me in Northern Minnesota!plenty of snow and ice and slush, and skidding off the road, and falling on your ass and everything!
Falling on your ass you say?

My sister is on the Kenai Peninsula in AK. I talked to her yesterday. She's 8 months pregnant and will probably have to go an hour to the hospital on snow machine. I'll ask her to take pics of that.
And that's what she gets for living in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah, or "home delivery" :) my son is a State Trooper in that area, he patrols all over it, maybe he'll get to transport her to the hospital. :)
I suggest home delivery! An hour on a snow mobile while in labor?? Sounds like torture, lol.I'm sure Kenny's son is a dab hand at deliveries. Let's get him cued up now. :-D

Think of it as magical runes and sigils, maybe that'll help :P

Home delivery- That's a funny picture because she lives in a cabin with no running water. I hope Kenny's son is ready because it may happen!
Had to use the ice scrapper on the car this morning, only the second time this winter.
Happy birthday to me. :)21,535 days on the planet breathing on my own, heart beating, being.... :p

Congrats!
By the way, you forgot leap years in your calculation. :P
Well, happy birthday Kenny :)

Well, let's just round it to 21550 :p
Well let's see, since this is the SFF thread, maybe I should convert into sidereal universal time. :)

*ahem*
And maaaaanny mooooooore!
We had snow in Manchester, UK but it didn't last long. Loads of rain which leaked through my roof helped by gale wind. It's about -1c at mo. Still, I'm in warm and chatting.
In the past thirty minutes, it's gone from a mix of snow/rain, to sunny, to windy and rainy.
Washington weather, never can make up its mind.

It's super cold here. And i keep seeing deer everywhere. I've seen 8 in the last day and a half.
well damn.
now there's giant flakes of snow falling.

lol!We could use a blizzard.
We got about 4 inches now. Should be more by the morning...
wow. We have no snow. I would love some snow on Sunday of next week - after I've done a grocery and liquor run. ;-)
It's been snowing lightly since Thursday night, it's taken a while to pile up. But you definitely can't see the grass anymore! It's pretty :)And cooooooooold :(
Do you have to go to work?
You don't have to.
Unless, y'know, you want to get paid

Pffft, unless there's like two feet we don't get snow days... lol.
Had to get a snow plow over to do the drive 2 times this last week, ~ 14 inches total or so, just guessing, plenty. Now it's clear and cold (-5 F) with pristine beauty.=)
Everyone here in WA keeps talking about the snow. The news anchors won't shut up about it. I've been looking out my window all day and all I've got is SUN! I'm sick of effing sun. I want some snow or at least a good rainstorm. Everyone but me...
That's what you get for living over there.
Ala wrote: "That's what you get for living over there."You've really got snow over there in Ghetto-ville?? Some friends a few miles south of me have some flurries, and some other friends over in the harbor have it. But I just went outside. Nothing.
Ghettoville?

we got like a dusting, really. Most of it didn't stick since it was raining earlier.
