More Snow : (

We had more snow. Thankfully it's only a couple inches but is so cold that it's sticking to everything, including the roads. Temps this weekend are supposed to be even colder then they have been but a warming trend is predicted beginning on Tuesday. A warming trend might only be 35 in this area. lol I'm hoping that warming trend includes all of the East Coast.

    a warm hug for ya

    Karyn, we are sharing the same kind of weather- it is so bitter here. We got snow last night and it warmed up to 32- hubby and I were laughing because 32 degrees felt tropical! LOL! Then the temps plunged back down again by this morning, so our snow will stay a few days!
    Ooooooooh, have a great time in Florida- it is warming back up down that way too. I'm jealous! ;-)

    I have an 8 am flight out of BWI on Mon morning and it can't come a minute too soon. Temps this weekend are supposed to drop to record lows here. WPB is unseasonably cold, only the 60's but it's supposed to warm up starting on Tuesday. Even if it's not beach weather it's warmer then here. This isn't a vacation, it's an escape. lol

    We got over an inch. The roads are white again. Weatherbug said 9 with the wind chill when I checked it a little bit ago. Really windy here too.

    I'll have my laptop with me and be checking in. God forbid I should be somewhere w/o a computer. lol This really isn't a vacation. I just have to get away from the cold. A tropical island or something like that would be a vacation. It's dirt cheap for me to go to FL. I have a free place to stay, airfare is inexpensive and I rented a car for $11/day. This will also be the last year that I can come and go as I please for a long time. Kyle will begin kindergarten next year and attendence in the Mont Co school system is mandatory. Family vacations are not an excused absence and 5 unexcused absences = failure/loss of credit. I also hate our school system. We have to lie and say that the kids are ill when we go away. Thankfully I have a number of family members and friends that are physicians because the kids need a Drs note if they are out for 3 or more days. It's a joke because everyone lies for their kids. The system really doesn't give you a choice.

    Kylie do the cows stay outside when it's this cold? How come you never see blankets for them like you do for horses?

    Anytime I am reading the snow/freezing posts I feel cold in my veins and before I finish reading I go to weather tab to check
    my weather :-). Even if I see sun outside I feel cold. Brrr
    I do not envy any of you.
    A warm hug.

    Have fun in FL Karyn and Kyle! Ingrid, what a cute pair of deer! Of course, when they eat up our garden, then they are not so cute.

  • givelittle_getlots

    Ingrid lol...I think you showed most of us that it could be worse! rofl

    Eloise I am with you. In pictures those deer ARE cute lol

    Karyn glad you are taking the laptop with you. Time flies and before you know it...Kyle will be off to College and you can go and warm up again during the bitter cold winter time.

    Hey who knows...maybe there will be no more cold winters for ya and it switches to other places...I mean I already feel like it did lol

    last night of way low temps for me here....I HOPE. Cause those all nighters really are not my thing. Especially when you have the bed behind you...calling....COME HERE YOU...COME...warm up in here! rofl

    Wish you warm weather and a safe flight

    Karyn - be glad you are going to SOUTH Florida and not North Florida!!

    It is a frozen Tundra up here. My fountains, ponds and hoses are all frozen solid!!! One fountain statue is still running to keep the pump and concrete from damage but the ice is 2" thick with icicles on both basins. My hoses are frozen solid so cannot hose the ice down to melt it. Right now I have halogen lamps shining on it so hopefully will melt part of it today. Temps are 27 right now.

    Everyone try to stay warm!!!

    Karyn, your best bet would be Southern California. Right now (noon) 79* on my patio.

    I think today was the first day of the new year that we didn't get any accumulating snow. I am so sick of snow already. Here are some pics I tool a few days ago, it is kind of nice the way it looks on the trees.

    Ingrid one of my favorite places that I've been to in the US is LaJolla. Southern CA, the San Diego area in particular, has such perfect weather. Not too hot and not cold, just right!

    You may think this is strange, but I love your snow pictures! Wish I was there.
    Let's trade.

    Ingrid the pics might be lovely but trust me, you want to stick with So. CA! LOL

    Trust Karyn....the snow is best left in pictures. I like to have a white Christmas, then it can all melt and stay away. Too bad it doesn't work that way.

  • haase

    In some areas its too hot sometimes, in others too cold, or too wet, or too dry. As they say, you can't have everything. But we all are lucky that we can live where we want to be.
