Try these links. Maybe something there will help.

With the info I have about your system (none) I am wondering if you used the keyboard numbers or the number pad numbers? Because it does not work on my system using the keyboard and does not work on my system using the number pad if the numlock is off. I hope this helps. Have fun.

I'll be there the 27th until the 3rd. I looked at NOAA and the long term forecast has PHX up to the mid to upper 60s by later this week so it looks like it must be passing. Last January when I was out there it was pretty warm. Thanks for the report! Our 20° high yesterday felt warm, so I'm sure whatever it is will be fine. :-)

10 years ago was when I was first at NAU. The first two days of Spring semester (around this time of year), it snowed so much that they closed campus for 2 days. They said it was the first time in like 10 years that they closed NAU for snow. Maybe it's time again. Don't they kinda need it?

My dad every year talks about the lack of snow on the peaks, how the lakes are so low or empty- You know where Lynx Lake is? Between Prescott and Prescott Valley? And the little stream that used to be a stream but has been a trickle (if that) for years now? A few years ago- I have no idea how many now- I came to visit and the cactus were all wilting and shriveled looking.

Yep, I am keeping check on Mesa for Marej, too. Mesa is getting rain all or most of this weekend and then it is going to get sun and warm up. By Thursday they will be into the 70's.

We have been under drought conditions for a few years, now. Even when we get a really wet winter, it just isn't enough to get us out of the situation.

And it doesn't help when we get these forest fires during the year. (Can't even say a particular season on that anymore. We can have fire danger almost year around now.) They leave such large areas where the vegetation is stripped away and then when it does rain it just runs off and makes mudslides and washes away the nutrients needed for regrowth.

When you visit, take a drive on the scenic road (highway 89) from Prescott towards Yarnell. You will pass through the area that burned in 2005 or was it 2006. It almost made me cry when I saw it on my drive a week ago Friday. Forest going into Prescott but just before that, just burnt spares and some ground cover for a couple of miles before the forest is full again. A real blighted strip on one of the most scenic drives in Northern AZ. Such a shame.

Chiliwilli!! That is so COOL!! I turned on my number lock and used the keypad to find these. Didn't have any idea they were there! Thank You!

On the keypad, 1 thru 9. = ☺ ☻ ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ • ◘ ○
11 thru 19 = ♂ ♀ ♪ ♫ ☼ ► ◄ ↕ ‼

This is fun! I am going to print up a page with all of them on it. Don't want to take up board space to continue. ehehe

OOOPS!!! Ran into another problem. Look what happened when I tried to post my fun.

Chiliwilli, I am using a Windows XP.

That fire made my grandma evacuate her house- she lives- umm, do you know where you're coming up 89 and before you get to the the Safeway, on the left side of the highay, there's a little red store that was always like an antique store or something? Stone and just kinda neat looking? I can't remember what it's called, but the road that goes up behind it is around where she lives. They came to her house and gave her an immediate evacuation. She went to my dad's.

El Centro to Tucson is pretty mind-numbing too. But West Texas and Interstate 5 down the middle of California are right up there. And I5 can turn to terrifying if the weather is really bad and there is a lethal mix of slow drivers and fast truckers. Just saying.. The last time I made that drive home after Thanksgiving was the last.. I fly now. And I've made that drive back and forth many times.

The drive to Vegas is shorter, at least.

We're now experiencing our 4th snowfall of the season, coming off the heels of a sleet-fest last weekend that didn't begin to melt. We only got above freezing for a few hours on Thursday and maybe a few hours yesterday, I'm not sure.

So far, I think there is about 2-3 inches of snow on the ground and it isn't supposed to stop or even slow down until about midnight.

We're receiving said snow from Spygirl now..Streets are almost covered and calling for 3 to 6 inches by tomorrow. Wish most of the ice had melted before, but it's supposed to be good snowball snow...I think a snowman will be on the agenda!

We had a typical Pacific Northwest day today here in central Texas. It was around 40 degrees and continual light rain. Only difference was the sky was perhaps a bit lighter than back home, and there is two hours more light per day. And tomorrow it may not rain all day here, and the sun may come out. Back home this same day repeats all winter.

1°. 5 hours, 38 minutes and 13 seconds of daylight. That's a gain of 6 minutes, 11 seconds from yesterday.



It won't be long now.

When you get down to the 4 hours of daylight, it gets tough. If you don't have a window at work you may not see daylight for a long, long time.

6 minutes a day doesn't sound like much but that's an hour every 10 days. It won't be long and I'll be able to hear the fish calling me.

Six minutes a day is a LOT during the winter. I am happy for one minute, two minutes, lol. When I spend the winters in WA, I LIVE for the winter solstice, so the days will get longer. On December 21, here in Texas, I remarked that it is just another day.

It helps to know how jealous you'll all be when I post at the end of May that we have over 20 hours of daylight and still climbing.

We are officially snow in in the farmhouse in Iowa! Not that we were planning to go anywhere...hubby stocked up on groceries yesterday (We won't run out of tunafish or molasses cookies that's for sure) so we are all set.

7° If it wants to get cold here it better hurry. There's only about 4 more weeks when it can get really cold.

We finally got some snow here in SW Ontario this past weekend. Well about 6 inches. It does look much better than having hard/wet mud and brown grass to look at.

We went out snowmobiling around our farms yesterday afternoon.

Here are 2 pictures of the sun Saturday. I took them with my cell phone, it was so bright and pretty with the snow.
