[NJ2000R]

we have a little snow in upstate NY ;)

[cobrabitn]

Well, it's freaking cold down here. 48 degrees and I'm freezing my (insert shugg joke here) off..... :rotf: Too cold for me, I'm heading south! ;)

[Firme]

[Black Snake]

Hey, what's the white stuff in that picture??

Oh yeah, that's right. Now I remember why I moved south. :D

When I was a kid, I lived in Columbia. I don't remember snow at all....lol Now I live in TN and I see snow but it does stick...What the hell. I guess I have to move up north.

==================




cold?

did you say cold?

My dear brother,

48 degrees is a warm spell !!!!!!!

:thumbsup: :bounce: :)

[Stanger58]

Ah yes... snow... I wish we had some (did I actucally say that?!?!) We've been TERRIBLY dry here in Iowa... warm too. Last week (1/8) we had 68 degrees! This morning, it was 6 degrees...but STILL no snow...

Besides, that's the advantage us "Northerners" have... learning how to drive on all that slickery stuff makes us better track drivers... wet or dry, hot or cold... even with the snow and slush on the track... right Bonny?? :D

All y'alls be careful where you DO have the snow ... don't play TOO much "auto hockey"!

that is a gorgeous picture!!

were still waiting for our first snow........

we've only had a dusting and I hate to say it, but we are looking forward to a good ole fashioned blizzard!!

Ya know,
snowball fights, building forts ....
holding the snow on your glove and looking at all the different types of snowflakes...
:) :thumbsup:
snow blanketing the trees causing the branches to droop in beautiful white .......


freezing our fingers off,
looking in your rear view mirror and wondering if the guy behind you is gonna be able to stop....
watching someone else out of control heading directly towards you.
Salt all over the roads -
Cobra's unusable .....

4 wheel drives and front wheel drives usable - but still unstoppable on the ice....

:thumbsup: :cool: :D :bounce:

ah yes -

adventure!


thats what I keep trying to tell my son-in-law,

he grew up in California...

sometimes - we find him going outside in a t-shirt, shorts, no socks -

but hey, isn't a jacket enough????

he will get it.... he helped Tim to move all the cars around so that we could get Flash out and loaded on the trailer. I told him to dress warmer and I thought he did.... he came in shivering and I asked him why he didn't dress a little warmer....

he said, he didn't think it would take so long........ sheesh, we had to move a truck and four cars out of the way....

I love him !!!!

:thumbsup: :bounce:

and further north.....alot further north, actually.....this is quebec.....

good for you Lisa --

and,

good morning !!


ah, nothing like a warm cup of tea, a warm fire, surrounded by family, Cobra tucked away for the winter, snow falling softly outside..... son in law freezing his fingers off cuz he forgets to wear gloves..... :(

[Coil99]

It's cold in East Tenn...at least by East Tenn standards. It will hit single digits for the second night in a row.

We had around 4 inches of snow in Knoxville...just enough to mess things up for a couple of days.

In any event, too cold for me!

talking about cold..

its actually bitter !!

the windchills are below zero.....



what makes it even worse is that we do not have any snow for ground cover - that will be harmful for the plants, they will struggle in the spring..

:(

[Big Daddy]

Well here in Asheville, (at least by my house) we still have snow on the ground, my driveway is ICE, the street in front of my house is ICE and it's so darn cold it won't melt! :( :( I can't get my Durango up my drive and I'm supposed to go pick up my car tomorrow. I'm afraid when I get home I won't be able to get the car into the garage! :( :( :( I HATE COLD WEATHER AND SNOW! And to top it off more snow is predicted for Thursday and Friday of this week! :( :( :( :mad: :mad: :mad: Time for the sunny south to be sunny and WARM!

It's 26 degress here in Columbia today, and there's alot of this white stuff all over the ground.. :doubt:

Of course, the entire state's economy is shut down, except for yours truly..:(

And after you're little joke it won't be at my HOUSE!


awwwww.... geeeeee. I know you wouldn't to come to my house either BD! I still have 28 inches of snow, (snow banks are about 4-5 feet tall!) and today is the tenth day in a row below 15 degrees. Yesterday it was 6 above zero at the highest point of the day, wind chill took it down to -18... and that was our high temp!


besides, it was all in fun BD, and out of anyone out here I knew you cold take it best ;)

[Big Daddy]

If that's the way the weather is up there all winter I have a suggestion...........MOVE SOUTH!!! ;) ;) :D No way I could put up with that kind of weather! I think we have about 2-3 inches and it's cold but not like what you described!! :thumbsup:

Today: Mostly sunny. Wind chills approaching -20F. High near 15F. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph.

Tonight: Fair to partly cloudy. Low 1F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.

Tomorrow: Partly cloudy skies. High near 15F. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph.

Tomorrow night: Windy with a few clouds from time to time. Wind chills approaching -15F. Low 8F. Winds NNW at 20 to 30 mph.


Pretty discouraging isn't it! :eek: :eek: :eek:

I haven't seen him for several years -- maybe he will have some new treatments we could try....

i'm a wee bit nervous ......

but now's the time to do this.... thx again!

[97whitevert]

man, i am SO SICK of this! ok we got 8+ inches not including the drifts... the state decided that SALT is a good thing- ok so the roads are basically clear ( not my road, but the main ones are) and now my poor red car is yucky white!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: the snow is still around, and calling for more today:( :( oh i did wash the car off yesterday, butt still.....:mad: :mad:

honestly, I'd take it for you in a second...

our streets our dirty and white anyway - we might as well have a good snowfall to enjoy it with!!

Our kids want to go snowboarding so bad, and there is no SNOW !!!!

I think it is the El Nino --

and that is also why I am having so much trouble this winter with the Menieres..... the weather is just downright crazy. The pain index here has been high and usually this time of year - its not......

[spittincobra01]

I hear ya Lisa!! It is snowing here right now.... another 3-6 by morning, then more (5-7 inches) tomorrow night!!






OK, I am now doing the "hit the road snow, and don't u come back no more... no more... no more....NO MORE!" dance!!!!

Well almost all of the snow in Asheville is gone except on the street right in front of my house of course! :D ;) But no more expected this week as of this morning! :D I just drove over 9 hours to New Orleans because I can't fly do to fluid build up in my right ear. Hopefully it will clear up soon or the doctor wants to put a tube in my ear. YUK! :( :( :(

boy do I know that feeling --

I feel badly for you BD ....
:(

get a second opinion on that tube - there are other ways .....

I am going to the Univ. of Loyolla today for some tests ... the doc thinks they might have something new for me with my Menieres disease -- I have it in both ears and have pretty much dealt with it since I was little...

so, anyway BD - there are some medications that you can take for that if it is only temporary... a tube sounds kind of drastic. Have you had it for a long time?

I guess long is a relative term it is going on three weeks now and it is bulging against the ear drum. I'm taking Alegra and doing nasal spray but neither have helped dry out the fluid! I guess I'll wait until Wednesday to find out what they want to do.

[spittincobra01]

Greg..... you aren't taking any ear drops?????? The first thing I think of is some kind of ear infection.... you should be taking oral antibiotics, as well as antibiotic and pain relieving ear drops! I am a nurse, and I am also a father of 4 girls. I have pleanty of experience with ear problems. Infact one of my girls almost got tubes a few years ago.

I'm glad to hear that your doing something about it --

so many people wait and wait, and then they end up in the hospital because it gets so bad......

take care and hope you feel better soon!

Sometimes - the weather and low and high pressure changes can cause problems as well.....

thats one problem I deal with.....

The El Nino may be affecting you this year as well...
