Jim, stand up and take a bow!
According to this morning's weather trivia, the coldest national capital in the world is drumroll, please Ottawa, Canada. We in this capital city have our own troubles this morning. According to the picture on SkyCam, someone snuck in overnight and stole our airport. We have a dense fog advisory till 11 AM. Just from here to the building across the street -- maybe 30 feet? -- is mildly hazy, so it's not surprising that SkyCam can't see from the parking lot to the terminal. We have already had our first 60 of the year, and in a couple weeks will have our first 70. Now if only we could get rid of this fog (San Diego Chamber of Commerce requires it be called "Morning Marine Layer", but up here we're allowed to use the F-word) and accompanying dampness..... Which of you from the frozen north wants to refugee into my guest room to persuade me that 52 is positively tropical? Bah, humbug. Got my eye on some desert where it's 100 year-round. -- Finished 12/14/03 -- Mermaid (Dimensions) WIP: Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe, Guide the Hands (2d one) Paralegal - Writer - Editor - Researcher http://hometown.aol.com/kmc528/KMC.html |

"Fred" wrote .. Don't you just love the way the tires harden up with the flat spots on the bottom. Bump, bump, bump..... That's why, last January when the temperature was -45, I got several blocks on a tire that actually WAS flat, unable to tell the bumping from the regular square tire ride. Dawne |

We'll have our first 100 in May, just like them. I just don't like the two months of 50s. I'm spoiled. I want to be warm all year. Even with the cold (hasn't gotten above -20 today!), I like our 4 definite seasons. The 100 degree temps in the summer make me appreciate the cold and these frigid temps make me appreciate the 100s!!! -- Joan See my first-ever design he http://www.heritageshoppe.com/joan.jpg "Stitch when you are young and poor, frame when you are old and rich." - Elizabeth's (rctn'r) sister's MIL (Barbara Marr) |

Amateurs - -42 last night before the windchill. I concede!!! Where are you Rachel? Must be in Manitoba or Saskatchewan? The weatherman said last night that -40 is where the Celsius and Farenheit thermometers match up. Rachel - oh and they are still forecasting some snow. Well, at least that means it will be warmer!!! Location: SK Warmer is a relative term. -31 overnight with blizzard conditions come morning. :-) I don't know if there is anything else to say! Rachel |

We'll have our first 100 in
May, just like them. Why so late? Back in 1996, we had 100 degrees on Feb 21 (thsw was three weeks after the city was shut down by an "ice storm"- maybe 1/8 inch if measurable. I'll take the 100 degrees over the ice anytime kathy san antonio |

I could easily have autumn leaves shipped to me by people in the east. The median-priced house there is currently going for half-a-mill, but when I win the Lotto and can afford one of those, I'm going back to stay. Meanwhile, looking at less expensive options, like Guatemala. When the next generation of illegal immigrants shows up speaking fluent English, you'll know who taught it to them. But I think you'd figure that out the first time they try to say "F you" and it comes out "Deport me!"

Nope. I like San Diego, land of permanent Spring. 70 degrees and sunny
year round. I missed the fall colors, but that's the only thing. I could easily have autumn leaves shipped to me by people in the east. So not true! It was a frigid 64 today. I had to turn the furnace on! You could get a nice little condo for about $300K. OTOH, I planted primrose today. The geraniums are blooming and the hyacinths and daffodils are up. -- Tamara in sunny San Diego |
