Thread: What lousy weather!!!!!!

Tweet

It's kind of wintry here in sunny, warm Las Vegas, too.Snowed on Monday, bright bluebirdy but cold sky yesterday, and it snowed right down here in town this afternoon. When we went out yesterday for some errands, the mountains were covered all the way down to the valley floor; sure was pretty. But, this is very unusual; most winters are fairly mild, temps seldom getting below freezing.

and now it's our turn, we've had about 4-5 inch's of snow the last week and now .... Ice !!!! they say about a half inch total >> looks like if we keep power on we'll be spending alot more time in the shop if not .... I'll be in the dark as usual

When I was on out on the boat last night I did have to take a jacket along but I didn't use it...Sorry guys I couldn't resist..

What R. Pope said.......


As Don noted, we're getting what, for us, is cold weather. Add in our propensity for rain and you end up with white stuff. But then the delightful marine system that gives us so much greenery also gives us moderating temps that melt the white stuff, turning it back to liquid, then the sun goes down, as does the temp, and you get...................ICE!! Oh yippee. Anyway, glad I've got heat in the shop, and a backup generator for when the ice and snow bring down a tree or three and take out a power line.

hmmmmm. 10:00AM, temp is 3 above..... I really needed to hear that Daffy!!!!!

I know other parts of the country get lots of snow. In Portland (Oregon) it comes rarely and it's even more rare for it to stick around. This my backyard over the past few days - check out the birdbath!

Arizona, New Mexico, Southern California looks real good to me!

Dave; I hear It's snowing in Texas and Las Vegas, Sure that's were you want to go?
Got a couple house's right on my street for sale.

Hey Kurt.... Just find me somebody in Florida to buy my pickup, I sure would be glad to deliver it!!!! Shouldn't take me more then a month or two to get home after the sale!!!!!!!!!

Dave; Send some good photo's and I'll show them to the guys at the car club.
Other wise I'll just have to keep the sunshine beaches and girl's in in little Bikini's all to myself. Kurt

We got no snow but we got ice. Temps are in the 30's most days, but it might hit 40 by the weekend. Got back from not so sunny Florida about a week ago, temps there were in the 50's and 60's, not to hot not to cold. I would trade for it any day, but to be honest, I would probably be just as happy in any sunbelt state.

Might have to get a job as a snow bird. That way I can be here for the spring and summer and go down to Florida and annoy Don and family during the fall and winter.

Went from 47* Sat during the day...to -12* by Sun sunrise with about 6'' of snow. Been bitter cold here until yesterday afternoon when it finally hit 34*.... M-W average daytime hi's were 15* dropping to -20* after sunset.
And the weather gurus are predicting another "artic blast" to hit this weekend with the temps staying in the low teens and way below zero at night, staying around for most of next week.

Now I remember why I grew to loathe Colorado winters. For me ideal temps would be 70's/80's all year round with it only getting cold and snowing during the Holidays....

I won't mention the temps here....just post a photo I took a few days ago.

Whenever things get too chilly, you can sit real close to the monitor and warm yourself. :-)~

That is cruel and unusual punishment HRP. LOL


Supposed to be getting sleet, freezing rain and truckloads of snow here today. Highs in the teens (if we are lcuky).

One of these days I will get to move out of the midwest.

Just cold enough here to hail, but not quite snow during the day. If we get some more moisture tonight, we may get snow!

Whereinhel is Woodenal with a few Gorism's when we need him (oh that's right, BHO appointed him to his next level of Peter Principle stardom).

We had an ice storm last weekend, 3-4 inches of snow yesterday and 6 to 12 inches predicted for tomorrow with even more over the weekend. Oh goody
