Snow coming!

[tsap seui]

I hear ya Randy...let us know the temp in July and August, better yet, the humidity.

 

Me personally, I love the four seasons, you have basically a change every 3 months or so, so you don't get too much of cold or hot...plus you have half the year taken up with the beauty of spring and fall.

 

 

. . .

 

 

Good luck in CHinertucky, yer gittin' to live a charmed life.

About 2 or 3 degrees COOLER than in Houston, and much less humid, also (if you can count 80% humidity as LESS). Still 60 in. a year of rain, but I've always wanted to live in the TROPICS (where you don't have to run outside to protect your plants when you hear somethins about a FREEZE - here 50F is bone-chilling freezing)

 

The Chinese have a word for that - egg nishing . It's even in cars these days (at least ours)

 

And thank you I am.

 

Yep, I know you are living a dream, and when I'm at our home in China, I feel blessed too. I often think, if I could only get the lil' rabbit a 6 month tourist visa, let her get this "gotta see America" business over with.

 

How I try to lose the thought of how we could live in China on the paltry, monthly, 30,000 chairman Maos (exchanged) that his brother Uncle Sam direct deposits in my bank. Maybe in another couple of years. The adventure in America will be fun anyhow.

Back online finally! The power just came back on after being out for 25 hours and let me tell ya...that was a bone-chilling 25 hours! The snow storm turned into a ice storm which is even worse! There's nothing worse than living in the cold. It turned off about 7 pm last night and sleeping wasn't so bad due to the house still retaining some heat but all day today it was cold and I was told the power won't be on to tomorrow so I was dreading tonight! I wasn't looking forward to a freezing night without any heat when temps. are whipping around 12 degrees F!.

All is a okay now, thank goodness. But nothing is fun about not having heat, lights, and TV at all! It's like living literally in the stone age.

The ice storm snapped pine trees in half. I went to bed hearing the ice slamming into the house and then I heard a big breaking sound. I'm trying to figure out what it was when I heard another. At morning I could see what it was. The ice snapped several pines taking down power lines with it. It was a hell of a mess around home and the county today. Trees down everywhere! Ice storms are treacherous!

Have fun with the snow, Delaware and Maryland. It's coming!

We are getting now, I dont know about the fun part thou!

Yeah,,, here I am telling you all to have fun and I lost power last night and all day today. I'll be the first to tell you,,, it sure ain't no fun!... After getting power back, I saw on the news people all over several states had lost power, 200,000 in VA alone. I hope you didn't lose yours!...

B) And here I was talkin' about the mounains savin' us from the storm...yep...only 15 to 18 inches. At least I got my home, a 1986 rusted out Chebie pickem-up truck, dug out and ready to roll at a moments notice.

 

Sam, I remember that part of Na and down into Carolina havin' ice storms...often just a couple of degrees either way and no problem.

That rusted out '86 Chebbie I calls home wuz shubbled out like magic, I tells ya.

Yeah!! We survived 24 inches plus and 30- 40 mph winds, and got very lucky with not losing power, forecast now for more snow coming Wed, so here we go again, more fun Well with no heat and no power at least you get to sleep closer together!!

[Guest Tony n Terrific]

We where lucky here as we got about 4" of the white stuff. The temp here will be below freezing for the next 7 days and it will be with us for awhile.

[tkgert]

6 to 10 more inches on top of what we already have,, just GREAT!!!!!

Yep, they're calling for another 6-8 for us to. No problem ir's just stick the shovel in the snow, lift shovel, and throw. Our main roads are good, we lost now power, and even my mailbox is cleared.

 

Good luck, those nor'easters have made a mess this year.

 

Up here we've been real lucky this year, and haven't even had much snow in the past decade.

Turning from mud to dusty down here as the rain stops - city workers were actually out shoveling dirt off the road (in addition to the little old ladies with the cone-shaped hats) - and 82F here for a few days.

[tsap seui]

I also see it's gonna be 84 degrees in Brisbane, Australia tomorrow, it's now 72 in their evening.

 

As the Aussie's in south east Queensland say, "brilliant today, perfect tomorrow, mate".
