[ElsewheresDaughter]

i hate winters

[Girlfriday]

1. Brrrrrrrrrr

It's going below freezing here (Pittsburgh) tonight - so you have company. :-(

[ElsewheresDaughter]

2. there's just something wrong with this scene...

almost all the leaves on the trees are still green....only just begining to turn...:crazy:

[HereSince1628]

3. Always thought it was cooler in the north...

24 on the farm this morning. For southern Wisconsin that's a bit early, and it literally put frost on the pumpkins...

4. i've been really surprised by the weather

here in baltimore. i figured it would stay hot well into october, but it's 58 degrees today.

[Interrobang]

5. I got up this morning to discover snow...

I live in London, ON. This is *really* unseasonable -- usually we haven't even had a frost yet (and we hadn't). Most of the leaves are still green, and so is the grass.

Just like Environment Canada says, watch for a long, cold winter this year, and an unnaturally hot summer next year (just like Europe a year ago). This pattern (Europe, then North America, roughly a year apart) happens about 85% of the time. Gah. No thanks!

6. Have I got a deal for you!

Have I got a deal for you!

I'll trade you one North Texas summer for three NY winters.

I think I'm getting the better deal, but I'd bet it's free market value... ;)

[ElsewheresDaughter]

8. LanternWaste...i'll take you up on that deal....where in TX?

i have 13 acres in the northern catskill mtn...with trout stream and surrounded by forever wild land...are you near austin?

[LanternWaste]

11. I doubt you'd want to trade the entire region...just the weather.

I have small suburban yard (but I do have a pear tree!) three blocks from a HS.

So you probably don't want to trade regions w/ me, just the weather.


How I would love to see at least one serious snowfall around here this winter. To us, it's really big deal when we get even a hint of snow flurries and a half inch of snow would have the entire region shut down with people bringing out 10-year old tire chains (used only once, of course...). Mmmmm....snow.



"Are you near Austin?"
Not quite so lucky. I live in the D/FW area.

13 acres w/ trout stream and wilderness? Egads! You are one lucky, lucky person :)

[MaineDem]

7. The S-word in the forecast here too

They say flurries with no accumulation. The best kind. :)

[ElsewheresDaughter]

9. Maine remember Oct 3rd 86/87? .we got 3'6" of snow ...it devasted the

northeast...with all the leaves still on the trees...they all broke and power was out for week here....i hope to NEVER see that again in my lifetime!

10. Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it SNOW!

I love winter :-)

Don't ask why I moved to DC for school though, these weather wimps don't know how to handle a real winter.

[Robb]

12. Yeah!

I wait through this time of year for the snow to hit big!

...And it looks good today! Of course, I'm at 8K feet, and I have anxious sled dogs.

I loooove the snow! Almost as much as they do!

13. For what it's worth,

friends of mine with outdoor cats (I live near Kansas City) have been reporting the cats are putting on weight and getting thicker fur faster and earlier than in years.

My two kitties live indoors, so aren't weather indicators, other than the one who's afraid of thunder and lightning.

[slappypan]

14. I just got back from Michigan's U.P.

Dey already got a coupla inches of snow up dere.

[LuLu550]

15. shut up! shut up! shut up!

I'm in Albany and I'm not ready.
(Did I sound like O'Reilly?)
