    Now wait it's been 32-40 in the morning. Quite chilly.:162: I've had to park the car in the garage to keep the frost off the windows.:D

    I just hate winter. I had to mow the yard last weekend.:rofl2:

    I washed the car too. :evilsmile:

    Just think in about 8 weeks we'll be in the 90's.:thumbs2:

    I remember the big power outage in the Northeast back in 1965. November I think it was. It was cold in Ma. so we all camped out on the living room floor with the roaring fireplace.

    Ah, the good 'ole days.

    damn you!:D

    i don't know if i could live in a country that English isn't the main language.
    (i just don't pickup linguistics that easy) but i could sure do those temps.
    ....and the palm trees.... and the beaches....and some of the food!
    i can tell ya, from when i lived in south florida...there is something to be said about being able to go pick breakfast off a tree in the front yard. (my dad had coconut palms and two citrus trees)
    make sure you keep in touch with us when you get there!

    Strom day today

    Yep another one...
    lets see we got about 5-10cm of snow while we were sleeping. Snowplow woke me up(off today) about 8:00. While having breaky it started to really blow, snow and ice mixed hitting the windows. And now just blowing, temps gone up to about 0. News is on the radio sounds like the power is off in communities around us. We seem to be in the snow/rain belt again this time. Don't need to shovel as much but sure makes for messy roads.
