Can you believe this crap?

It's been a tough early winter.. and winter ain't here yet! :)

We got about 1/2" of ice last night. It might get above freezing today.. first time in a couple weeks, but then it's right back in the single digits for the next ???? month?

Thanks for the photo's.. which certainly bring the words to life! :D

It must be tuff in Florida. You have to catch your own fish.
 
We're getting hit pretty bad on the flatlands of Canada right now. Very unseasonable temperatures for this time of year and also extending down into northern USA. Hard to think of global warming when the average temp is close to minus 40 with the wind chill. Going out right away to shovel the new snow fall cause I spent my snowblower money on cues.

You better be real careful running that snow blower without pants:grin-square:
 
Nebraska

Nebraska is paradise. Hot humid summers, tornados, cold miserable winters, and virtually no scenary...unless you dig corn fields. No beaches unless you count the banks of the mighty MO, where you can occasionally see a floater, dead pig, or refrigerator float by. Nothing but good times here;)

I should get a guitar and write some blues.
 
What a nice thread. You have all given me good laughs :D

Very nice to see how all of us have it during these Christmas day's.

Keep them comming :thumbup2:

This was my car yesterday morning, after a solid 24 hr snow. They are saying that my county caught the brunt of it on the west side of the Cascades, got about another inch or two overnight...I's say we're pretty close to 20" on the ground currently, with more on the way in a day or two.

Nebraska, are you kidding. I used to drive truck quite regularly thru Neb.
They have to be the worlds most friendliest people there. I found it quite refreshing, everyone who passes you waves, even the state troopers.
The only reason a cop would be waving at you here is to get you over to hand out a ticket.
Nebraska looks alot like home only you have rolling fields, ours are just plain flat.
 
Probably all snow has dropped out in your territories:) . All life I live in Siberia but first time I see such picture from the window in the middle of December. Boringly without a snow.:(

Here jokes - If so will be farther we shall soon grow pineapples.:grin:

Merry Christmas
 
YOu guys keep that snow to yourselves! At least for a few more weeks! We are still trying to clean up from last week's tornado, but it keeps raining and strong winds and cold temps keep harrassing us, too. Another cold front moving in a few hours from now. My poor library is still under a wall that's leaning on all my bookcases that fell over into a very small space. I have to rescue thousands of books. We've already rescued about 5 or 6 bookcases of books and haven't hardly started! We have to be very careful, because the wall could fall, if we move the bookcases. We still have a lot of other stuff we have to rescue, too.

Yep. We're working as hard as we can on this mess, but we really need some good weather to work with us.

Sounds like a lot of folks will have a white Christmas, this year.

Has anyone considered whether all this funky weather is a part of war? I heard a good 10-20 years ago that we were about to be capable of weather wars, but nobody was doing that, yet. A few years ago, the weather started getting weird. I don't think it's global warming. I think it's weather/atmospheric wars. The government probably wouldn't want us to know and would use the excuse of global warming, which seems to satisfy even the doubters, because it's what they expect the government to say. So, nobody is going to go poking around to find out for sure. And I haven't heard anything more about weather wars, which seems a little suspicious in itself. I guess they think we might have all forgotten, by now.

Our local weather forecasters usually do a great job, but this year, they can't even predict the weather a full day in advance, most of the time. They might say we're gonna have 65 degree weather tomorrow and a few hours later, they're saying a major cold front is going to be coming through and it's going to be 20 degrees for a high, instead. There is no predicting the weather, this year. And that tornado that hit us? The National Weather Service didn't even have a clue it could hit! Nobody did! The weather didn't feel right for a tornado and it was bitter cold except a weird warm spell that happened just a few minutes before the tornado hit, then back to the bitter cold spell, right afterward. Where did that tiny hot spell come from?

So, what do you guys think?

LOL Yeah It really Bites. I'm actually east of the Saint Johns, so I'm salt water over here. I can walk out My front door and catch variety of fish. I use to be good for 2 or 3 flounder a day, maybe a nice size red bass, or gator trout when I was lucky, just from catching the tides right, out in front of the house for an hour or 2, but I haven't done as much fishing the last couple of years. My brother has a boat rigged to gig flounder at night, keep telling Myself I'm gonna go with Him sometime, but hard to get away from everything I have to do all the time.

Those snow shots are beautiful, and would love to visit and experience, but no way would I want to trade places with the snowbirds on here and live in It. Too cold for My Southern Fried Hide:grin-square:

We were having near record highs this last week, upper 70's low 80's. It's suppose to cool down again this next week Though.

I brought this one alive again

So we could possibly share some summer moments :-)

Me and my wife did a photo trip tonight and shot some pics.
I guess many of you have better temperatures but these shots where done
tonight at 23:30 in the evening (not the first picture) so I'm over the arctic circle and this is the midnight sun.

A little hard to stay in the shop during these evenings but hopefully a Arctic
cue would be done soon.

Have a nice summer :-)
