How's your weather?

Greetings from snowy Philadelphia! I'm sure it's snowier elsewhere along the Northeast corridor, but we have 13 -15 inches of winter wonderland, and that's plenty enough for now. Even thunder-snow occurred last night. I guess I'm enjoying it because we have had next to no snow before this.

How is everyone else fairing?

Would anyone like to help me dig out my aged Benz? I don't have a place to pile the snow. Surely others could come up with more picturesque views than these, but I had fun. I had already removed a layer of snow last night, off the car.

Stay warm, I need to go back out and shovel a passage to my door.

Wow Garth,

No snow in Central PA (DuBois). Well, perhaps a light dusting last night . It's actually a beautiful sunny day. Looks like you got it all!

Send some of it our way, Garth! Here in northeast Georgia we are getting a light flurry now and then. The kids WANT a snow day (and so does this teacher!)

OK, I guess I am the one that gets to make all the snow bound folks back east jealous. I just got off the phone with some friends in Connecticut who are shoveling out from a 20 inch snowfall. When I told them I was working up a sweat in my backyard because it is 78F here with bright sunshine, they happily informed me that they are coming for a visit on the 21st. I don't miss the snow and cold one bit.

PS - Don't ask me how I like the weather here in Scottsdale, AZ in July and August.

I'll be along too, Richard; or you could come here if you want to cool down. It's a toasty 52F indoors right now. That's a lot better than being outside.

Garth,
52F inside? Are you without power also? That gives me the horrors just thinking about it.

When I was living in Ridgefield, CT, we had an ice storm that left over an inch of crystal clear ice on everything. We lost power for 8 days and since we lived on the mountain, it took a week for the town to sand the roads to allow us to get off the mountain. We had fun ice skating through the woods to our neighbors houses. Eating by candle light was fun and cooking on the wood stove was kind of interesting also. However, the nights were a nightmare because we had to constantly feed the fire places to keep the house from freezing up.

I'll take nice warm (or hot) Scottsdale anyday.

Keep warm!
