Well played, Nolan! How's things at Casa Scott?
8 below zero forecast for Thursday night..... Burrrrrrrrrrrr
Well, I think I've witnessed some kind of record happening.....I've had snow on the ground some where around the house since Christmas day.....Today is the first day I could walk outside without seeing that stuff.....Longest duration I can remember...I hope this holds out for the rest of the season....
No snow here in Beaufort (byeewfut) this Winter. We had the most last Winter since 1969 - all of 2 inches.
Been cold a lot, just like last year. We've seen ice covering puddles when we walk the dogs around 8am but, then again, today was 70F at 2pm.
We keep watching the WX channel and wishing our kids were down here where there's no snow and ice.
Maybe if we lived at Walt Disney World the kids might visit more often?

I was out in Rancho Mirage taking care of my folks yesterday. Absolutely incredible day. Sitting in the sun, sky deep blue, temp was at 88. Just incredible...now where is my SPF 15 sun-block...
I'm waiting for a day when it's not raining and the temperature is above freezing, so I can take my IM for a drive.
I've had the car home for over a month and only been able to take her out for two short drives. :-(

We had a deluge here about 2 weeks ago. Flash floods brought mud and rock onto many roads. I've limited my driving until I see all the rocks and gravel swept up. Might take a month. But it's still mid-80's during the day and high 60's at night. Can't bitch about that. As the many Canadian visitors say " at least it's a warm rain".
Was over 40 yesterday. Snow about half melted with another 1-2 feet to melt. Its supposed to be warm for a few days. Should be able to see the grass soon:)
Well its official.....We have snow on the ground more days this season than previously recorded.....SERIOUS cases of cabin fever every where......
S'posed to be 70 and sunny here today. 76 by end of week.
Rub, rub, rub it in ;-)
Rub, rub, rub it in ;-)
Getting ready to sneak back up North in a couple weeks but taking baby steps till the coast is clear. Should be in SC by 2/27 ish. Keep it coming.
Hey Al! Just giving you & Heidi a shout out! Hope all is well!
Leon, My Brutha! Hope your newest car-project isn't driving you crazy and that your cold/snow weather will break soon!
Marty - time to fire up the pizza oven!
Peace - Out!

Heading for the mid 60's today in DC area, but windy. A pleasant relief. Snopw disappearing from the yards quickly, but still in evidence in piles all around. My place still has great stretches of white stuff with about 2" of solid ice at the bottom. Anybody else here besides me having the itchy-fidgets wrt getting topless in their Speedy?? I know I sure am. PS: This question is NOT adressed to the knuckleheads in So Cal, or really anybody west of the Rockies. They can just go have their cars and coffee and cruise the shore every week, and I'm going to say that I really don't care . . .
Chicago Temperatures to Hit 60 by End of Week. This was the 3rd worst blizzard in Midwest history and it will be like it never even happend in a few days. Very Bizzare!
I was planning on taking the little guy to Pismo this weekend, possibly meeting up with the 356 club at Scotty's, but now I hear it's going to rain!!! This is bad! Can't wait for summer to get here.
I put on my wind breaker and took oldyeler out for a sunday drive this weekend 58 degrees or so , Cool on my ears but not nippy .
At least my toes were toasty I had the heaters on. I took it easy this was the first time she has been out this year..

They are calling for 70 on friday here in NC.. Even that is wacky for this time of year in our state.
Yup. Gonna be 76 here on Friday and I can't drive the Speedy cuz I have the new top sorta half on it. Ack! This week's waaaay too busy at work to finish it until (maybe) the weekend.
Quit Bi--ching! At least you have yours at home! Also, you can still drive it with the top stuffed in the boot behind the seats!
WooHoo! 66 here today and it's gonna be nicer tomorrow.
A "Dial-a-Vacation" may be in order for Friday!

Go for it, WB!! Full speed ahead!!
Friday evening, 1/4 inch of rain or less, every freeway in town is clogged up solid due to water related accidents. Just as expected in a semi-desert city.
78 and sunny here today. Gonna be above normal (63) and sunny for most of the next week. Hope to get a mild sunburn in the Speedster this weekend. Ahhhhh, February.
YIKES! I hope that steers clear of your area, Aaron!
So far so good! The terrain is so rough, the Forest Service is allowing it to burn its self out. The Judes Gap Fire as of this morning has burned over 1200 acres.
Well, people of Earth, looks like we've finaly turned the corner.
Ornamental trees are in blossum and so are the Southern Camellias, days are in the upper 60's consistently, haven't had the heat (or A/C) on for two weeks and it's been pretty pleasant. Got most of the vegetable garden in with the remainder to follow tomorrow and just harvested the last of our winter broccoli and peas. The only bad news is a pollen count that's off the charts, but massive amounts of Claritin seem to do the trick.
Come on Spring! Whoo-Hoo!!!!

Yeah, it also means that I will spend most of this weekend pruning, trimming, clipping, etc. Oh joy.
Not craw ... craw. Apologies to Get Smart writers
Well there is going to be snow down to 2000ft level here in Sandy Eggo! Palomar Mountain will be a real winter wounderland by this time tomorrow night! Looks like I'll be doing another surf in the AM and snow drive for lunch!
I got 2 azalia's planted early last month. they got lots of rain then.
I bet Lane knows what kind they are. I wish, I had time then to plant 4 more. But not possible..
Our hollies look good. I get to loaf today for a change. We are now in a drought here.. so not going to put anything else in the ground. untill that changes.

Let's see, today I pulled up 10 deer-eaten bushes, raked out some flower beds, and did some much needed pruning. Tomorrow I mow and edge for the first time as I can already see the new grass shoots peeking through the old, dead grass from last season. Next week I do the weed and feed, and then I can focus on important things like driving the Speedy.
Lane will do anything to qualify for a kitchen pass to attend a Speedster-related event!!
Went up to minus 4 last night, now minus 17, tomorrow minus 20 something or so....back to normal.
Update,, Storms came booming through. Pretty scarery, but no tornado's here..
This is torture: it's 65*, tons of sunshine, & the Speedie is still in the hangar partially torn apart. That's what I get for blowing off working on it last month when it was freezing outside...
DOH!!
