LOL, aren't we a bunch of So Cal girls? One year when the kids were young (my oldest niece was just starting to walk, so around a year which puts Dakota at 2 and Caleb at 5) we went up to the mountains to play in the snow. The girls were so miserable we ended up taking them to the car and waiting for the guys and Caleb to get done, lol. The girls, of course, don't remember this at all. Caleb however still has nightmares about it. They kept the poor kid out there about an hour and he was freezing cold and wet. Now anytime bil and sis even mention the snow he starts shouting "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He refuses to go anywhere near the mountains in winter cuz he still remembers how much fun he didn't have, lol.

High today -31°, low tonight -38°. That means about -41 at my house today and -48°. It's always about 10 degrees colder in the winter at my house than time/temp says. But, hey, it's supposed to be up to -15° by Friday so we're looking up; it will feel like spring is coming.

Jus to let everyone know it is snowing here in Boston again. I am so over winter(and yes I know it hasn't even started). I think all you people in SoCal should come to the northeast and help us shovel

it's a chilly 52 (I know I know) and it's raining...again...we had floods from Tuesday's rains...and here we are...raining again...wonderful... War, I'm with Caleb...I hate going out to the snow...it looks pretty from inside the car...I'm not talking about the cold...but the shear stupidity of walking around in the snow and as it melts it turns to water, which gets into every lil crevease of your body that you didn't duck tape...yah no thank you

Wow Chili, that is so cold. Was watching a show on CBC (Canada Broadcasting Corporation) last night on the artic, the ice and global warming etc., and I was thinking of you...man it has to be cold and I cannot imagine not having any daylight this time of year. I complain out our 9 hours of day light. Stay warm!

No daylight? Hey, we got daylight! Who said there's no daylight? Tomorrow we will have one minute less of daylight than we had today. Tomorrow is the shortest day of the year (Dec 21). Sunrise: 10:58 (Dawn ~ 9:32) Sunset: 14:40 (that's 2:40pm in case you don't know) (Dusk ~ 16:05) For a grand total of 3 hours and 42 minutes of daylight; 6 hours and 33 minutes between dawn and dusk. Starting Dec. 22 we will be gaining daylight each and every day so by Dec. 28th we will have gained a whole 5 minutes of daylight. However, in six months ~ Sunrise: 02:57 (Dawn ~ ---) Sunset: 00:48 (Dusk ~ ---) For a grand total of 21 hours and 51 minutes of daylight and dawn and dusk just blend together as it never really gets dark at that time of the year. In six months we will have gained 18 hours and 10 minutes of daylight.

I've been here 32 years and I'm ready for a warmer climate. However, I would have to come back here every summer.

I just find the daylight/ little daylight amazing. Hard to believe until you live or see it I guess. The long daylight days must be so neat in the summer.

40 degrees and getting pretty gloomy here again. Last night it was raining. I don't want bad weather, but I'm sure hoping that these temps and rain don't wash away all of the snow before Christmas. I always enjoy a white Christmas!

Currently 61 degrees and sunny with a breeze. Lovely if you are sitting in the sun and protected from the breeze, but definitely cold if you're outside. We had rain last night, and no more expected for a while now! Yay! (And I'm hoping for the mid-70's on Xmas day! <grin>)
