Captain Neon Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I must say....as I get older I wonder every winter why I stay where there is winter from November until April....just nothing nice about cold and snow anymore... MikeC My father-in-law in Watervliet will be retiring for good in May (Medicare has kicked in) and in the past has often hinted at selling the house and moving to North Carolina. Maybe when my MIL is 65 too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busycoupe Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 65 degrees and sunny today in NC. I'm glad that I moved here four years ago from Massachusetts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermonter Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 We had a few weeks of below zero temps here, so when it hit 17 degrees the other day I left the jacket home. Feels like summer in comparison... So far the snowfall has been weak this year, we have about 14" accumulated so far in the yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulu Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 We had a pretty good rain at night Friday/Saturday, but today it's nice again. I went for my usual 4 mile skate at lunch. It did snow here once in the past 30 years, enough to "stick" until noon the next day, but basically Fresno/Clovis never sees snow. I remember tossing our cat out to play in that snow. He'd never seen snow, and it was rather amusing watching him try to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 House in NC is bought and paid for, but work is keeping us tied to a snow shovel for at least the next six years. This winter has certainly tested my patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulu Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I went skating at lunch again, and I wore a sweater. It was a mistake. I came back drenched in sweat. The sun is shining and the blossoms are everywhere. Winter is likely over for us (such as it is.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sun is shining and the blossoms are everywhere. Winter is likely over for us (such as it is.) I hope not, that would make this year even drier that last and we need the water. There have been a couple of years in the past with "Miracle March" precipitation, maybe we will get lucky this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1940plymouth Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 We had a good six inches of snow Saturday into Sunday with strong winds and blowing snow all day yesterday. Just wanted to share these photos that I took earlier today 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) We used to get light dustings every so often. Now a light dusting for us means 12-18". 50+" compacted on the ground at moment. Total snowfall since January 23 has been 98". Worcester county where I live has the honor of being the snowiest place on earth at the moment, with 3-5" coming tomorrow night and rumors of another big storm coming Sunday night. I've had enough.

Young Ed Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Mark does all that snow cause flooding when it melts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niel Hoback Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 What is it with old guys and gray Buicks? Seems like its a psychological thing. Find a gray Buick anywhere, watch it for a while and sooner or later and old guy will get in it! Maybe its genetic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Mark does all that snow cause flooding when it melts? We go from snow to mud in a flash in a mild winter. This spring is going to be torture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit though, I do like that Buick very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hiebert Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I was out of town the past two weeks, and the missus had to be out as well, although different places. She couldn't get all the snow moved by the time I got back (we have two driveways). Spent the better part of this last weekend moving the white stuff and found a Volkswagen and pick-up in my driveway that I swore beforehand that's where I left them, but couldn't see anything but mounds of snow. We dodged that "Snowvember" Lake effect storm, so Mother Nature has been making sure we remember what part of the country we live in. My car looks like the rim of a margarita glass... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
