Okay,
I just got a "winter weather advisory" in my weather e-mail updates!!!! UGH...is anyone else here NOT a winter person????? I guess I picked the wrong area of the country to live!!! :(

_____

"...Freeze watch in effect from late Tuesday night to Wednesday
morning...

The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh PA has issued a freeze
watch.

Widespread freezing temperatures are possible late Tuesday night into
Wednesday morning as clear skies and light winds will allow for
temperatures to fall to near freezing. "

You could move to Houston and then all you could complain about is the heat and humidity. But you would LOVE the winters and beginning of spring. Some years we have fall, some we don't. So far this seems to be a don't year.
Give it a thought!!

Or....you could move to south florida where the beautiful balmy breezes have the potential to truly BLOW YOU AWAY! <img border="0" alt="[Hammer]" title="" src="graemlins/hammer.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Hammer]" title="" src="graemlins/hammer.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Hammer]" title="" src="graemlins/hammer.gif" />

Or you could move to Phoenix where you can complain about the heat (but usually not the humidity) Current temp 95F, humidity 13%, tonite's low, about 70F. :cool: :cool:

Or you could move to my part of Maryland where you could have "snow" days fom every obligation if there is more than 4 inches or so, Assateague island for off-road beaching in the spring, summer, fall, summer crowds and traffic like the city, no good shopping (for clothes) malls unless you want to drive three hours. But then you would not be where you were BORN, like I am! (I think that's my main reason for loving it, as I am a "rootsy" sort of person!)

And let's not forget the island of Hawaii. The typical weather report has the highs in the mid 80s with trade winds to ward off the humidity. Snow, what's that?

WHINERS!!!
We already have over 5 inches of snow on the ground, and just had a little wind storm with 125mph gusts. And Autumn just started! :ohmy:
And only 24 days of sunlight left, this year! :(

Uh oh....

Sheri - I'm with you. I'm not looking forward to another PA winter. (Especially since I read the other day that experts think we are about to enter into a decade-long cold spell.) :(

Phil - I have to say you are probably the clear winner in the awful winter weather sweepstakes. :)

What's the next cruise you're looking forward to? Somewhere warm and sunny, I hope?

There is a reason we do love Southern California.
30 minutes to the beach for swimming and surfing
an hour to the Mountains for skiing and snowboarding. 75 avg degree temps with sunshine and little rain and no snow. We have theater, good food, some nightlife and lots of museums and of course, Disneyland.

We have several seasons: Fire, Earthquake and Riot and Traffic which overlays all seasons and doubles in any weather where the sunshine has not surfaced :rolleyes: .

Marcie, that was a funny picture!

Phil, you are the king of bad weather.

Sheri, I had to run to the mall and buy new slippers yesterday because I couldn't feel my toes anymore. I even broke down and turned the furnace on! I have already donned my winter attire, t shirt, sweatshirt, sweatpants and fuzzy slippers.

Live long and prosper

It's especially difficult coming back here after 10 days in Tahiti... <img border="0" alt="[hula]" title="" src="graemlins/hula.gif" />

Next cruise is two weeks on HAL Westerdam for reunion with co-workers and a charter, then September on the Diamond out of Rome... can I wait? It'll be tough!!

Can't compare to Phil, but here in Eastern Montana you can go from 110 degrees in the summer to 40 below zero in the winter.
Snow? Sometimes nothing sometimes 5 to 6 feet on the level.

Move to Vegas with the other 6,000 a month. Great weather except for about 3 months of heat. But, who cares, everything is air conditioned. October is great. Sleep with the windows open now. Born and raised in Western N.Y. (Buffalo) Enough said? I HATE cold weather been here 27 yrs and love it.
