We've already had it on the ground a couple times this year, nothin' to shovel yet though,...

Snow? What's that?

Re: uggggh

We are still fluctuating between cold and warm here in the SE. Already been down to near 20 degrees at night. I already have the winter blues and calender winter is still a month off. Some snow and ice would sure liven things up a bit. None in the forecast yet

Re: uggggh

It's nearly 10.00am here in central Florida and it's a sunny 79 degrees so far. Should top out about mid 80's. Had a down pour yesterday. First rain in weeks. At least the dry grass should green up a bit, but that'll probably mean getting the lawnmower out.
Only snow expected here is the fake variety they blow in Celebration's main street at Christmas time. Become a bit of a tradition with us since the kids we really small. It's like soap suds stuff. My eldest is in the middle of applying to colleges at the moment and hopefully will be going to one of them next year after he graduates. Two of them are near Rochester and Cleveland. He's into 'I wnat to experience cooler weather' mode at the moment, but after spending most of his life here in FL, I don't think he really understand what COLD weather over a long period is really like. Coming from the UK and the cold winters which seemed to get longer and more miserable with each passing year, I enjoy the FL weather most of the time.

Re: uggggh

If your oldest wants to experience REAL cold send him to northern Alberta in January. Coldest I have worked in was -52C. They regularly get -45C. Can lasta few weeks at a time then "warm up" to around -25C. I have since moved to slightly warmer climate.

East side of Cleveland all the way to Rochester and beyond is snowbelt land. I'm 35 miles west of snowbelt, we get a trace, they get a foot or more. :smow:

Going to school up here.... then home to Florida in the summer? Talk about the worst of both worlds!! :frusty:

If the school is on quarters, fall, spring, and summer up here and winter at home would work, think snowbird.
Home for the holidays, lots of seasonal jobs, and mom and dad can get a break from the summer heat when they visit JR.

Re: uggggh

Cant wait to pull my Etec out of the garage and hit the trails. LOL most here don't know that Ski-Doo puts these cool 2 strokes in snowmobiles too. I love the way that engine runs.

You need the winter snows so you can shower a couple of times next year! :lol:

Yeah, funny thing is we don't even store this water much. All of our water comes from the Sierras and the Rockies. Not our local Mountains. But you are dead right. We beg for big snow North and East all winter long. They can Suffer in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Northern CA, thank you very much!

Re: uggggh

We had freezing rain yesterday. People sliding all over the place, going off the road while moving along at 5 mph. 3 bus accidents, because it didn't actually start until the busses were out already. Then it got bad QUICK!! One bus very slowly just slid off the road and flipped on it's side. No major injuries. The bus tires were chained and it still just did a slow slide. It took me 30 minutes to scrape my windshield, not the truck, just the windshield. It was an 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick and stuck on hard. Normally, once you clear a small section, you can just bust large sections off. Not yesterday, the ice scraper just stopped. I need to go get ice melt and sand out on our walkway and driveway today.

Freezing rain is the worst! unless mother nature throws in the wind afterwards, we sometimes get the lake effect.
