it will top 85 here today. Nights are in the mid sixties. I can't imagine living where it snows, and is cold this late in the year.

Years ago, but at this time of year, I spent a long week in the Tequesta area with my then girlfriend. We were staying at her folks ancient condo in a retirement community. I was bored out of my mind, but the weather was amazing. I came back the color of Tonto and with a half-pickled liver. Great, relaxing vacation.

yep, 85 here today, or close to 80 anyway,will drop to 30s by dark.
The thing I hate most, once we get to 85 plus, we can be weeks away from months of 100s...
I think monhts of 100s has to be as bad as months of winter.
Though I will admit to a long enough streak of wet/almost freezgin temps here that with a strong N or NE/E wind, I've gotten tired of trying to work out in it last Sunday and manned the wood stove instead.
Be nice to see half a foot of snow though once...

A high of 60 here today with approximately 1" of rain forcast for today through tomorrow afternoon, which will be followed by a arctic blast turning the tail end of the precip to freezing rain/sleet/snow with a single digit low Thursday night.

Hey, Woody - I trust you and your bride are faring well. I talked to my guys over in Mills County a couple hours ago and they said the sun was out and things were shaping up well for you guys there. It was raining and about 40* when we woke up this morning, went to Fayetteville about 9 am for a Dr appt. Left the Doc's office about 10:30 in sleet, by the time we got home (about 20 miles) we had about 1/2" of sleet on the ground and the temp had dropped to 25*. Now it is 23* and snowing . . . so far about 1-2" and still coming down. BTW - 1-2" down here is akin to 10" for y'all up there. It is supposed to be sunny and in the 50's by Saturday. No wonder folks down here get sick all the time .

Flooding from melting snow and heavy rain here and anywhere from 6"-12" by tomorrow evening. We have a backup generator, bottled water, and we're retired so travel is not a must. Our house is on a ridge so high water doesn't get us.

My heart, it doth not bleed for thee... Woody, here's a phone shot from a couple days ago in front of my buddy's place. We've had more snow since, and more to come I'm sure. Confident we're going to break the record for most snow in a season shortly, actually. I think we're 3 or maybe 4 short. Rah, rah!

Sun came out for the first time in over a month. Had to get out and a some cell pics. First one isn't mine though--had some help with a drone looking down the shore. Nice warm up to 18*. I think the worst of winter is over. And Flyboy, if'n you need to borrow my leaf blower, just say the word. Icebergs are over 20'+ on the big lake. You can see a dude walking down an iceberg from peering over the top. Stupid is as stupid does. The lighthouse and pier are a 1/2 mile out into the lake. The river is froze solid on the right as it empties into the lake. you can see the lighthouse and pier on the left side of the river. Parking is cheap at the beach this time of year.

Leighton....do you ski?
I am skiing several times a week at Wachusett Mtn which is just up the road from here. 70 inch base depths and the cold have produced absolutely fabulous skiing. I skied Bretton Woods in NH last week and we have more snow here in central Mass. than they do in NH and VT.
I am loving this winter...!!

I am loving this winter...!! Hey there, friend. Long time. Good to see you still around. Yes, I ski. Used to do it a lot, but haven't in quite a few years. I have some foot issues, and after less than an hour in ski boots every moment in the boots is agonizing, even with supposedly extra wide boots. The next time I'm in Japan we may try to get a trip to the Japan alps. My wife has told me that boot manufacturers in Japan design theirs to typical Japanese feet, which is to say, w-i-d-e. We'll see. Glad to hear you're having fun.

I used to be able to ski from the opening of the resort until closing, now after 2-3 hours my quads are completely shot and just asking for it if I push it beyond that. I did discover the Sitzmark. As a kid I could never understand why adults would waste a perfectly good skiing day in the bar. But as with many things in life, with age comes understanding
