See proves my point. The weather is shifting - from west to east. Eventually, we will be like California with desert (Nebraska) Mountains (Colorado) and all the horrible blizzards and awful weather we always had, will shift to the east.

California will not be needed any more, so, of course, will fall in the ocean....

Mookie has thought for some time that the middle of the country - with it's lack of moisture and really bone-chilling cold for extensive periods of time (like November to March) is fast becoming the desert of the nation. We are getting less and less moisture each year and our winters have been quite balmy. The snow we do manage to get it quite dry and unlike Colorado - we have a head start with our own sand pile up north.

MC? Any thoughts?

In Delaware for 2003 we received 60 inches of rain. That's 20 inches above normal. Several times we had bad flooding. One flood wiped out a local Tourist Line - Wilmington & Western. They are still rebuilding.

Saturday it was 4 to 5 degrees (above) in the heart of the WV coalfields; started getting better yesterday p.m. and is lovely today - sunny and in the low 40's; like to watch the snow melt, 'cause I don't have to shovel.

work safe

It was so freakin cold this weekend I had to break out the winter gear.........because it was blocking some stuff in the garage I had to get to. Then I packed it neatly back into rubbermaid containers. Since its winter, I've been wearing my darker khaki shorts. The light ones don't come out until easter. [:-^]

[:I] Oh Marty - they would arrest you in LIncoln for running around in just a t-shirt. But if you want to post pictures, I am sure we would all take a look!

.....Hey, don't wi***hat snow on us here in central Indiana...As I said we've had very little so far this season and really I won't be hurt if we don't get any at all the rest of the winter time. I have seen enough of that stuff growing up in western Pennsylvania years ago. So we really know what it is.

- 10 at my place (northern Connecticut) last night. Cold enough that steel things start to shatter when you bang on them. Not fun.
