Yeah it's funny what you can get use to.... I grew up as a military brat., travelled all over... As a young kid I spent 6 years in Alaska.. When it got into the high 50's we would play in the sprinklers cause it was so warm... 1967 Pops got orders & we moved to San Antonio Texas...  The heat was absolutely unbearable... At least it snowed once... A few years later we were in Turkey, made the Texas heat seem pretty mild.... When Pops retired from the Air Force we came to central California & while I've spent time all over the world I find the climate here pretty easy to live with...  I'll be in Minnesota again soon, Chicago too... I don't mind snow, I just choose to avoid it unless I want to go skiing...

I started mine up earlier this week, snow is melting pretty good here! We lost about a foot so far, about another foot to go, then a few rain storms to wash the salt off the roads then..... :burnout: :jumping:

Pretty nasty cold front moving thru tonight, temps dropping into the upper 40's, lower 50's by morning.  :stirpot:  On another note it's being reported 800 plus people per day are moving into Florida. Canada looks better to me every day.  Traffic here sucks   :stomp:

Hope they're all coming from California.

It was great here back in the 70's.

Man, not even snow anymore, it's all ice from the thaw-freeze-thaw-rain cycles we've been having!

Should be almost 60 Friday!  :cooldancing:
