You should have moved to Texas. We never get more than 2 days of any bad weather. 38 degs now but I bet we'll be back in shorts and t-shirts this weekend.

Snow is about all gone. I have a metal roof on my house and it slid off sounding like an avalanche yesterday. Sometimes it tries to slid inside.

LOL Now thats funny! Well Jim I wish you had our little old 6 inches of frost! I hate the cold and I hate snow! We never get snow and now we have had 2 different weather systems that dumped snow and ice on us and its just in the first month of winter. If we do get flurries its usually in late Feb. or March. I sooooo wanna see green grass again!

WOW Havi; when I first seen that I thought close the door and add more insulation. Second thought was you need a second floor window and a couple of suitcases. LOL

I heard on the news last night that for the first time, there was snow on the ground somewhere in 47 of the lower 48 states. Florida was the lone exception. I thought that was interesting. So much for global warming. ;-)

Nicer weather isn't that far away, Merv. Today, we had 61F and sunshine. It melted the 1 1/2 of snow we got on Wednesday morning that fell after the 28F high temp on Tuesday. Maybe there's hope for spring afterall. ;-)
