Don't worry about that Ice and Snow. If you've been in eugene more than a couple years, you know we'll get subfreezing temperatures and somehow it will still rain.

Bone chilling rain. It's gonna be our friend 'til june.

Here in greater Cleveland it is -19 degrees with a 30mph wind. Went out for a Christmas party and I thought I'd die!

Visiting Chicago. -5 F this morning with a blowing wind. Lots of fun. The windshield washer froze up on our rental car. And I wanted to go to Hawaii and DW overruled it.

Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho region. Sub zero temps, high winds and over 30" of snow in places. Time to plan a trip to warmer places.

why in HE!! would you visit Chicago when it's -15..............I was born and raised there, my entire family still lives there, and I refuse to visit in the winter. I'm currently suffering through upper 50's in north Florida!

Because DW wanted to spend Christmas with my family (and some of hers) in Wisconsin.

Of course, my BIL flew down from there to go to Barrett Jackson auto auction (as seen on SpeedVision). I got him free tickets and hats. But he is texting everyone that it is 75 and sunny and he is afraid of sunburn and dehydration.

Yeah, that heat stroke thing can be awful in January. It's 59 degrees here but so still I had to bring out a fan.

Sorry guys, central Florida was in the 80's today. Since we just had our new pool completed it was the first day we swam in it. We had the grand kids over and had a barbacue.

Congratulations on the completion of your new pool. Some day you may be able to look at it and not think "We could live for a year on what that thing cost. What the hell was I thinking!!!"

Ice 1/2" thick on everything up in Independence - tree branches coming down all around - got the next door neighbors car this morning. (see post here: winter wonderland) We lost the top of a small birch next to our house just now. Tenant 13 miles north in West Salem reports 5 inches of snow w/ ice on top. Portland? Fugeddaboudit!
