CProkopp 2 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 This happened last night here in Tucson. It was still on the ground in the morning and totally demoralised drivers for hours. Miz Natasha Katonic (Cat) was torn between her desire to go outside and investigate and her perfectly understandable distaste for VILE, COLD, WET WHITE STUFF THAT COMES OUT OF THE SKY AND MAKES LIFE MISERABLE! Thank you, I feel ever so much better now. Incidentally, that's the view across my back yard to my outdoor forge. Link to post Share on other sites

Guy Thomas 27 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Charles, your citrus tree looks none too happy either! It used to occasionally snow a little bit in the winter here in North Florida but it hasn't happened in many a year. Actually here all the azaleas are blooming as well as the redbud trees and Japanese magnolias. The azaleas don't usually bloom until March and April! Of course now we are due a hard freeze later this week. Link to post Share on other sites
mete 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Well , you could have used the excess heat from the forge to keep the fruit warm !! Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Ouellette 76 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 That's some crazy weather. We got snow here in Charleston back in November, but none of it stuck. Link to post Share on other sites
Archie Zietman 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) Now you get a taste of new england. Reminds me of when my dad was working in Nigeria at a hospital, and people would come in in 70 degree weather with blankets, then he would take them to the fridge and tell them it got that cold in winter, and the freezer and tell them that that was an alright day in January, and they would think he was telling a joke. Global warming makes me sad, you are getting all of the snow we masachussettsians get by right! I want my snowball fights, give them back! It's funny, two years ago we had three consecutive blizzards, and five feet of tightly packed snow. Took three days to shovel out of our driveway. Now you get it all. Sorry about your grapefruit!

Matt Gregory 6 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Just thought I'd point out that the thermometer here reads 1 degree Fahrenheit. Supposed to get colder still later tonight. Shall I send you a box of snow to remind you of your brief encounter, Charles? Link to post Share on other sites
CProkopp 2 Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 No need....having spent half my life in Illinois, I have indelible memories of snow and ice-storms. Ms Katonic is still dubious about going back outside. Link to post Share on other sites
