Winter!
 
Six inches of snow and 20 degrees in Charleston South Carolina! I didn't sign up for this when we moved here from Connecticut almost four years ago!

You guys in the deep south are " JEALOUS"

And the snow is now yellow in spots.

Bobby,
Jealous I'm not, it's one the most important factors of us moving to the south. But I'm very happy for you! Enjoy!

Swish.....I left that weather behind 50 years ago when I left Iowa. Before wind chill being factored in, I recall 34 below. Brrrrrrrrrr
In the 70's here in AZ. Might golf tomorrow.

I usually don't mind the change in seasons, but this is a little excessive here in South Jersey.

Then again I'm an hour and a half's tow to 4 Div. 1 tracks (2 of those holding nat'l events as well) so I'm not complaining.

Larry Hill 01-05-2018 10:14 AM

Well living in the sunny south, Kentucky, low this week has been 2*, barometer 30.80 in and dry.

A Fletcher snow report would be good.

Stephanie, Funny...... just to funny! Let me guess here, former senator Al, "Hands On", Franken resigned...( Lowered Expectations )... and still gets $139,200 pension for life. What a disappointment.

Take up a winter sport,,,,Patty and I put 125 miles on our snowmobile last weekend in upper Vermont. Saw a high of 6 for the 3 days and a low of -28 when we headed home New Years day. That is very cold even for us with great gear. We would've done triple that in miles if it had stayed above zero. It sounds crazy to many , but we have alot of fun sledding. The scenery is breath taking and lots of great places to visit and stop for breakfast lunch or dinner.

We just got a foot of snow in Western Mass and it is sunny and 8 degrees currently

Living close to I-95 in south Georgia I'd say the favorite winter sport of Northerners is driving down I-95 (or I-75) to Florida in their RV's...sorta like jousting on steroids or Mad Max. Dave, if I needed to stay put up there I'd definitely take up snowmobiles . Looks like a hoot and with all the heated gear it would definitely take some of the sting out. Have taken several RV and motorcycle trips up to Maine and the Michigan UP and its amazing how many dedicated snowmobile trails there are. Keep having fun...

..back to the seventies next week. The motorcycle will come out again.

Stephanie and Larry...you're on the edge but suffice it to say that term limits solve so much.

We only got about a foot or so and it was perfect snowblower snow.God bless Simplicity snow blowers and VP S.E.F..Friday we got a delivery of fuel and the driver was very happy I cleared a nice path to our tank for him, not like the horse farm down the road that had 3 tanks for him, all covered in snow he had to dig out. Hey, that's just the n.j. way. John Kissel K242

Looks like hurricane season is over here in FL. Now comes the brutal winter, was 40 degrees the other night. Today is supposed to be around 76 degrees. So glad that winter is leaving FL. Time to put on a pair of shorts and a T shirt and have a cold one to relax.

Ron Ortiz
U/SA now where did I put my sun glasses.

Yes this is the best time of the year for racing in Florida. We had our first SSSSA race last weekend in Orlando. The conditions were amazing. The baro was 30.29 and the temp was in the upper 50's. Needless to say it was really fast there. The Orlando crew had the track prepped to the max and I ran a personal best for the combo that I have in my car right now. It was a fun weekend and I didn't have to cool the car between rounds like in the hot summer months. I am back in Miami this morning and have the AC on in my job office.

I agree with everything you just said Ron.
We moved here 3 weeks ago and love it here.
I feel bad for my Northern family n friends but maybe
I can convince them to move down too.

Well, I guess that I had better get everything done outside that needs to be done today then. It's 58* right now and I'll assume that your sleet that's white as snow is heading in my direction.
