We also had a beautiful day today. I had the daycare kids running around outside without a jacket in sight.

In just almost an hour, it will be the First Day of Winter. Geez, feels like Winter has been hanging around for MONTHS already! We've had enough snow, rain, freezing and ice as far as I am concerned. Bah! Humbug!!! March 20th, 2008 - only 3 months, I can hardly wait for Spring!!

And the worst of it, Skootz, all this stuff that's melting, will freeze with the new snow and we could have a skating rink from Windsor to Toronto by Christmas Eve. That would be really not nice.

that is right Y2 and I also remembered that we had ice on the ground before all the snow last weekend too, so that will not make matters any better either. Hopefully it will be safe for all travellers...looks like the temps for the next while will be hovering around the freezing mark etc., so that can mean more ice rain too. What a mess it will be.

changed into a windstorm. Ran into Snowfall on the highest part of the highway, but it didnt stick. Think it is going to be a miserable day tomorrow with Icy winds and blowing rain.

Portland...looks like clear sailing from now through Christmas. I sure dislike 'iffy' forecasts, not knowing if our plans can go forward, or if we'll be stuck at home Christmas day.

We have ice skating! Check this out:
Yes, that is an ice skating rink, located on the grounds of the historic Hotel del Coronado. Yes, that is sand, and the Pacific Ocean, and a gloriously beautiful sunset right beyond it. And the "humpback" in the far distance? That's Point Loma. Just in case anyone's curious why I refuse to move from here! <snicker> (All proceeds from the skating rink go to Make A Wish Foundation)

That is one of the oddest things I've ever seen. In 1974 I spent 3 nights in the hotel at an insurance convention. Interesting place!

in the last few hours it went from rain, to sun, to snow, to sun and then rain again. Currently is sunny with 2 inches of snow on the ground. WEIRD weather!

OG, I totally agree. Parts of the hotel are really cool and parts are really odd. Definitely interesting. They've done some serious renos in the past couple of years, so y'all oughta come back and check it out. Rosie, I wonder if they can skate without skates!! Hehehe!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas, SNOW is in the air! OK so that's not the song but it's snowing and we're supposed to get 5 - 9 inches. We have nowhere to go until hubby goes back to work on Wed, have plenty of groceries, so let it snow, let it snow, LET IT SNOW!

44 here right now and theres an icy chill to the air because of the snow on the mountains. Costa we have one of those ice skating rinks at the mall (this year and last.) The several years before that it was at the baseball stadium parking lot. Apparently they are packed full all of the time, probably cuz ice skating around here never happens.

Yeah, there's a skating rink at Horton Plaza, too. But the juxtaposition of skating rink against the sunset and ocean was too cool. That picture, btw, was on the front cover of the local paper this morning. So I can't take credit for it! We've also got an indoor rink at UTC, and that one is packed ALL the time. Lots of wannabe Olympic hopefuls, the occasional showoff. Fun to go at lunch and watch (it's in the middle of the food court).

Freakish wind gusts, sometimes heavy up to 28 mph, and always going one way and then backtracking or swirling another. Temp is 48ºF (with wind chill it's 40ºF) and clear skies with a HUGE full moon!

(thanks Skootz ) It's been in the mid to lower 40s with the weather.com saying "it feels colder". Yep, that it does. Some dry, some showers all this week. Lows running around mid 30s. Mostly it feels colder with chunks of plasterboard & insulation missing from my poor little house after mold abatement. Maybe when Spring comes, life will become 'normal' again and I can thaw out.
