Don't know what Y'all are talking about.  Beautiful sunny day here in South Texas.
Yes it is. I did have to put a jacket on this morning.
Got down to 40 or something.
Still waiting for the leaves to fall off the trees.

I had to drive through Lake Placid yesterday to get to Malone NY.  Snowing pretty good in Placid.  It made the roads slick, and I barely got to the first appointment on time.  Got to the second one an hour early, though . . . :whistling: and took US-11 to I-87 home.  I didn't want to have to deal with that shit again.
Any time I hear of Lake Placid, I think of giant crocodiles eating people.
Is it safe to assume that such attacks are not as common in winter?

The winter olympics were held there. Maybe crocodile eating could be a new olympic sport.
Speaking of crocodile, there is a vicious designer drug by that name from Russia that is working it's way into our country.

This is true--it's made with gasoline.  Not the sort of thing anyone should be shooting into their veins.

^^ I know, gross. 

At about noon, we had those pleasant little ice balls, the ones that hit you in the head going about 500 MPH.  High winds.  Nasty.  Would have been a good day to stay in bed.  We'll probably have a snowy week.

Des Moines: FREEZING RAIN! ICE, Slick roads.  From 2pm till 10 PM. Then it turns to SNOW.
I took tomorrow off: no driving on ice for the Mannn.  Barely made it home alive.

They said only about an inch of snow, but the weathermen here have no freakin clue. Today was supposed to be 40 for a high, but at 2PM, it was 30. and it only goes down from there.
---so ya know I'll be snowed in for sure.

a Yeti was sighted at the Mall. We're all dead men, I tell ya!

I'd rather deal with a foot of snow than an inch of ice.

I am kind of surprised that we who live in the snow belts do not take a page out of how the Alaskans  handle it. 

My Jeep has a plug in system to keep the oil warm at sub zero temperatures but there are no electric outlets for people that must park their cars for 10-12 hours a day at -20.

  One year in VA. of all places the schools had to close for a few days as the buses would not start. 

Door locks freeze and my car had to be warmed up for 30+ MINITES  just to get the drivers door to close.

All the salt used to melt the ice does the job on autos and trucks even when they have a protective undercoating.     

How do the Alaskan's keep a moving in their climate, All those months of the dark means head lights must be on 24/7 using up battery power.   Getting a flat tire out there in -20 degree temperature can be interesting if one is trying to change a tire and a Polar Bear comes around curious as to what you are doing.

Still we who live down under and have just a couple months to put up with miserable conditions never seem to know how to learn.
