I'm home today.
The city is shut down! Ice everywhere!
So, I'm working on my room.

Maybe I did the right thing not to buy a snow plow for this winter.
My parents have been hovering around zero in MPLS, however.
Gosh, I miss that stuff!
compared to most who have it really bad. Regardless, I'll take winter over summer all year long.

<< <i>Mildest winter I can EVER remember here in southern Ontario, with a stretch of several weeks above freezing and no snow whatsoever!!! There were numerous days over the holidays where my wife and I would go for our daily walk wearing only shoes and light jackets as opposed to the usual bundle of tuques, gloves and scarves. Reality has set in over the past few days, however, with snowfall and temperatures dropping way below zero (I will not attempt to convert from celsius to farenheit).

I understand it may be warmer than usual, but that is no reason for you and your wife to go out without your pants.
Dont get me wrong, its easier than summer-time weather but a break from the heat would be nice.
Thats why we are going up to Gatlinburg Tenn. Highs in the 30's and 40's next week, and hopefully a lot of snow up in the Smokies. I cant wait

This cold snap destroyed alot of crops...

I wonder how much prices will go up??
As for Matt heading to Gatlinburg, please go to Great Smokies Tattoo (second tattoo parlor on right as you enter town (if coming from P'forge). Ask for Earl, tell him John sent you and get a big tattoo. Maybe a big picture of Emmitt on one arm and Troy on the other!? Ok, maybe a Dallas Cowboy's logo!? I want to make sure my mom gets her rent check!
El Nino is beginning to kick into high gear. Watch for more wet cold weather from the Pacific NW down to SoCal. More of the cold, snow and ice for CO, OK, KS, NE, TX. Stormy and getting colder in the SE. The Northeast may be the only place to stay unseasonably warm but wet, places like NYC, NJ, DE, MD, DC, Eastern PA. This will continue until April with the height in February.
All this keeps me in work, but I hate to see people struggle with the weather, especially tornadoes which we're watching for in the SE.
80 here in SW FL today. Bosox and Twins heading to town very soon. Some players have been here already, namely Joe Mauer. Twins facility is a mile from home and the Bosox about four miles.
about 80 or so...no hurricanes and little rain.
perfect

Yup, I stayed home today due to the same snow/ice storm. I'm putting chains on the cars tonight because it's supposed to stay below freezing for at least a couple more days. I'm still using the same snow shovel I brought with us from Minnesota back in '89! And this is the second time I've ever had to use chains in my life.
Hopefully I'll have some time to enjoy the collection tonight. How's your card room coming along, Mike?! I may have missed something, but are you in the processing of remodeling or anything like that?? Pics are a must if and when you finish!
<< <i>Whole state of oklahoma's buried under a coulple inches of ice. Collect pre-war mainly. Have tons of 70's-80's if anyones interested? >>
Hey, Cherokee! I see this is your first post. Welcome!
You might find some takers for some of your '70s-'80s stuff here. Is any of it graded??
I'm leaving thursday for an 8 day trip...Disneyworld, the whole works. Suppose to be 60's-70's into next week. I hope it's not hot and humid like summer time weather. No thanks.
I agree! I've actually worn long pants for 4-5 days now!!! And a coat in the mornings.......Its been tough out here!!

Funny. I wore shorts all weekend, in LA, and people thought I was crazy. I DID have to wear a sweatshirt though. At night it was freezing so had to wear long pants and a jacket. People in LA were freaking out with the morning ice and such. A plane crashed near Van Nuys airport and a reporter suggested, "it has not been determined yet if weather had anything to do with the crash." You know, it was like 45 that morning and dude was wondering if that "cold" weather may cause a plane to go down!? I love LA!!!
Case Study
My house is 12 yrs old. So when does thermostat go out?
Of course on the coldest and nastiest day of the year!!!
300 bucks later, we up and running!
What a day.

I'm in the Orange/Potato business. We lost about 50 acres of oranges. Less than 10% of our acerage. We started picking early and when news of freeze hit we picked like crazy on the uninsured fields. Prices on Sat. we rose $10 per 50 lb. carton on average but we are holding off on selling any more to see how high the market goes. In stores on Sat a 10 lb.bag was $1 now $1.50. Wont know how bad it was until we can inspect fruit with X-Ray,float etc..
edited* Just heard organic oranges-40 lb box was $13-20 now selling for $45 !!!!!!!!

I went out to see that crash this past weekend. Just freezing...my ears were getting cold.
Of course freezing around here is a warm day for 90% of the country. No complaints...
Kids today are too soft! Do they even know what long johns are?

<< <i>I'm in a suburb of Cleveland called Parma, we finally got some snow today...couple inches...first snow we've had since first week of December....can't complain about that......and the weather is supposed to warm up the next two days so it will all melt.....so far got to love this winter!!!

Hey, I used to live in Aurora! I miss Cleveland sometimes.
... and that is one more reason why California is the best.
I was tired and went to bed. Power came on at 3AM - city closed!
That's two days!
This event wouldn't even register on Richter scale in the NE! Lay down salt and everyone is ready to go.
But here in the southland - I doubt they even have enough sand and trucks to blanket the city!
And luckily - we don't salt the roads at all.

<< <i>October 13th we had a freak snowstorm here in Buffalo and lost power for 8 DAYS... Talk about a marriage tester - crammed into the warmest room in the house with 2 fat cats, no cable or internet for more than a week... The rest of winter should be a cakewalk compared to that, as long we avoid any of those crazy lake-effect storms that bring 8 ft of snow over a 3 day period.
That incredible!
How many people were without power that long?
We have gas heated water - I assume that would work but no heat - no TV - no internet!!!
Did ya go to work or what?
That's just incredible - incredible!

<< <i>That incredible! >>
Most of the area lost power for at least a few days (a couple hundred thousand people) many people were out longer than us. My inlaws and 3 sisters were all out as long as us, so there was nowhere to run. I think I read today it was about 3 weeks before everyone got the cable back. We had gas hot water, cell phones, gas grill, and a generator so we were better off than some, but it was still a long 8 days. Unluckily for me October is a pretty slow month for me, so it fell on me to check on aging relatives, etc... My wife is a retail manager, the mall got power back after 5 days and she was able to go to work.
There was no better sound than the sounds of silence when all the generators in my neighborhood finally shut down.
eta - heres a link from wikipedia that's fairy accuate about some of the damage..
and there was thunder and lightning, but it was closer to 30 inches of snow in my driveway in the morning.
I was stationed at Ft. Drum for one year - I retired from there.
I never want to be that cold again!
Glad to hear everything is OK now!
