I can't believe our weather, it is in the mid teens today and later this week we are going to hit near 50 degrees, this is not normal at all for Minnesota. Kind of seems like things are reversing themselves, Texas with snow and Minnesota with 50 degree weather. I kind of like it. LOL

I'm getting ready to go warm up the Ark, and head home. BTW, I dislike rain as much as I dislike snow.

Still storming, supposed to stop around midnight, my street hasn't been plowed yet, dh had to park his car at the church on the next street and walk home. He said there is two feet of packed snow on our street. Kids are coasting down the street.

It's usually very humid here,and your body gets used to it. Except for now,with the cold,the humidity is low. My lips are chapped,my nose is red and my entire body itches!

Ah, I forget you guys aren't used to no humidity! Around here we get the same high temps with no humidity, so lotions, visine and chapstick are daily neccessities. Its raining here now. I heard earlier on the news we have a high chance of thunder storms, rain, and high winds for the next couple days. Kids are off school another two weeks, they may go insane if they're trapped in the house for the next two-three days!

LOL, I've heard others complain about Vegas too Hippy. We're pretty much right at home there. It's a little dryer than here, but not by much. Funny thing is about 10 years ago I went to Georgia to visit family. They were in the middle of a heat wave (was about 90-95) which didn't bother me in the least, but the 90% humidity about killed me!

Hippy, I think I need to go on the "Vegas Diet". 10% in 24 hours, eh? Not worried about the wrinkles, the other 90% would still fill those out easy. LL, have they dug you out yet?

It is pouring here, wind just started getting bad. From what I heard on the news it's supposed to be really bad today (the wind that is.) Got to raining so hard a few minutes ago I thought my washer had hit the rinse cycle....then I realized it wasn't on. Looked outside and saw sheets of water falling. Very odd to see when we usually get so litle rain.

LOL, if she does she needs to swing by down here and pick us up! I was watching the 5am news this morning and I could have sworn I heard the weather guy say this was going to last two weeks. I was exhausted and trying to go to sleep, so I think I heard that wrong.

i am so sick of the rain...not to mention, i had 3 ten-hour shifts at the golf course this week and when it rains, we get called to stay home and get paid nada. next week, i am scheduled for 50 hours, and a new storm is supposed to come in. great... big boss talked about painting the pro-shop and restaurant so we could earn money on the rainy days, but other than discussing colors and sending out an interior designer (a joke, at best--she wanted to go with 2 shades of hot pink in the ladies room, which has no natural light and is about 6 by 6 feet square...and spray paint the stall doors shiny metallic black. barf...) and having a lady from the paint company come out, nothing has been done. big boss will talk something to death for months, but never act upon it. he is still "thinking about" our daylight savings time special and daylight savings time ended before halloween. today i got to pick up 2.5 hours cleaning out his office and storage area. did you know black widows don't care if it's winter and rainy? ick! i carried a huge maglite, so i could see them and brain 'em. one of the restaurant gals and dd and i went to see 'meet the fockers' when there was no afternoon work. very funny movie! usually sequels don't measure up, but this one is very good.

I actually lost power here for a few minutes because of this weather in SoCal! I was sitting happily at my computer and *bang* we get a lightening bolt and no power anywhere around. It's been lightening and thundering so much today...and I don't think I have seen it since I moved to LA. Some places have had a foot of rain in the past 24 hours and the whole city is just a mess, mess, mess. Mudslides, car accidents, yadda yadda yadda. [P.S. They say it might rain on the Tournament of Roses Parade for the first time in 50 years!] But I made pumpkin soup and ate it in bed while I read Puritan execution sermons.

We're a few hours behind you Tishala. We had a breif stop early today about noon that lasted til shortly after 3. Rain has been steadily pouring since then. It's just started to thunder, didn't see any lightening but I have a pretty limited view from where I'm sitting right now. Wind is also bad. We're under a flood advisory til sometimes tomorrow.

The snow and ice are melting off of my roof, and making me jump every time a chunk falls down. I keep thinking that I have an intruder! Glad it's melting! FINALLY.

Schoolmarm, we went through that last night. Of course Colossus' natural male reaction was to go outside and have a look - lucky we didn't have to rush him to the hospital for stalactite extraction surgery. It warmed up to around 40 degrees yesterday, and all that snow that's been here for the past week started to melt. Which was the cue for our fabulous snow-removal team, for which we pay hundreds of dollars monthly to ensure our road and driveways are cleaned immediately whenever two inches or more of snow falls. After everyone was late for work by at least 6 hours Thursday because our streets were impassable, they decided yesterday (and not a minute sooner, when the snow would have been dry and powdery) was a good day to clean our driveways. I came home at 6:30 p.m. and trip - there were three guys in my driveway with snow blowers. The snow weighed tons at that point - it wasn't blowing anywhere. Can you say "underwhelmed?" Can we channel the Donald and say "you're fired?"
