Expecting a high of 52 degrees today in the Florida Pan Handle but looking forward to highs in the low seventies Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Back in Kentucky its single digits.

 

I remember some goof back in the late 70's saying we would have another ice age.......
aren't we ?? You guys are all nutz and you sure put a smile on this old flatheaders face.
Keep up the good work !!

 

IT was a N'EASTER the likes we never saw before !! hint, we call them all N'EASTER's Ya gotta love it !

 

Having lived in both places I'm not so sure that New England living is anything to laugh about. While I will admit that in southern Michigan it bets VERY cold here(mostly in late January and early February)for weeks at a time,the New England weather can be just as fierce.
My son still lives there in Lowell(about 30 miles north of Boston)and two years ago they recorded an official snow fall of over 12 feet of snow! I talked to him yesterday and he said they had about 10-12 inches;bitter cold(near or below zero)and 35-45mph winds.
When I lived in Massachusetts(Salem)it was right on the coast and the storms coming up the coast could be absolutely ferocious. I have seen several of them that had hurricane force winds that made it look like the snow was coming down sideways. Had one storm where we got a dusting of sleet and 5 miles inland there was 18inches of snow! Twenty miles away there was two feet!

 

Lowell, Ma. my hometown, The birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution. and when I was a wee boy on my snow shoveling route the snow was so deep you could only see my stocking cap coming up your sidewalk ! [ so thats how you got the dough to buy your first hot rod ]

 

Here on the wet coast of Canada we don't get that much snow. Last year was a little different because we got our fair share but nothing like the east coast gets. But same BS in the media. Check your calendars, we're not even a month into winter. Sometimes around here frost on the ground gets driver's doing 20 kmh which is just as bad a hazard. The sad thing for me in regards to snow is that I retire tomorrow after 38 years of teaching so no more snow days.

 

Not only the snow in NE, which can be dealt with but it's also the wind and frigid temps. Then this last storm hitting at high tide pushing water thru the streets flooding buildings and cars. Then freezing them in and more snow and frigid temps. Thats what is different than the midwest .

 

Yes I guess I did miss your point.Hadn't had my first cup of coffee when I wrote that. The national news media has become something of a joke anyway and I am going no further with that statement as I don't want it to turn political.

 

Just a little snow squall passed thru the other night, nothing like out in the midwest. Don't take this to serious, its just a joke , fellas

 

15 inches here in Jackson N.J.

 

you are absolutely correct but i think it is because of the number of people effected. where i sit here in ct i am a 4hr drive in any direction to over 1/3 of the population. Fargo N.D. your six hr drive in any direction for 9 farmers, 38 skiers, a small army of hunters and some Packer fans....

 

Is the red wheel guy swapping '32 Ford parts for firewood?

I lived in this State most of my Life & This Year I was thinking of
Selling my House & Moving to Tuscon, AZ.
I lived there for 10 years & Moved back for my Wife
Parents were Sick
Now that everybody is Gone My Wife & Son, I would like the
Warmer Climate.

after living 27 years in massachewshits i fixed that and moved 3000 miles to the west.......and never looked back....i love the o c........

 

BEAUTIFUL !!! This is one winter view that I think everyone would like to have as they looked out from their house.

 

Jim, I bet you miss one thing and thats the Speedway in Seekonk, the oldest family operating track in the country.

 

i have a lot of good times there BUT i don't miss it.......mass is a good place to be from.....

 

Can't wait for spring in the Seattle Tacoma area, The rain will get warmer. The only good thing about the amount of rain we have is you don't have to shovel it.

 

My brother in Connecticut is laughing at you pansies:


He doesn't even run side glass.

 

This seems like the coldest winter ever in the Florida Pan Handle. It just won't warm up.

 

It was 76º here, today, might hit 80º tomorrow.
