Baby It's Cold Outside!
 
I don't know how it is in other places, but northern New England is going thru some record breaking cold. It was -24 f this morning in central New Hampshire, and tomorrow and Sunday are supposed to be even colder! If you are planning to come up skiing this weekend, you may want to reconsider.

Pretty much early spring here in Seattle. The Daffs in my backyard have flower heads, my flowering plum tree is in bloom and a few of the bushes are leafing out.<BR><BR>Was on the Oregon Coast last weekend (Cannon Beach) and the Daffs were already blooming there (along with quite a few other things). Pretty mild there along the beach.<BR><BR>I Used to live in cold winter areas. <BR>I don't miss it.<BR><BR>Ken

I have Spring Fever here in Okla. today. High temp in mid 70's and the sun is shining! Tomorrow we get a cold front with strong north winds and a high in mid 40's.

I'm with Zootsie...Stay away! Stay away! You'll freeze to death!! (and I'll have no lift lines...8^))

Lola Feb 14th, 2003 09:49 AM

Well, here it is about 24 and almost two in the afternoon so I guess this is as warm? as it is going to get today!<BR>And more snow is forecast:(

Lola Feb 14th, 2003 09:49 AM

Sorry:) &quot;here&quot; is NYC.

michelleNYC Feb 14th, 2003 09:52 AM

I don't mind the snow, but this brutal cold is getting ridiculous!

Lola Feb 14th, 2003 09:56 AM

<BR>And I know I look ridiculous with earmuffs!!! and I need a little bitty nose thinge like a nosemuff:)

Lewis Feb 14th, 2003 10:01 AM

Heard the weather guys this AM, says coldest airmass in decades coming to Northeast tonight!! -10 tonight in Connecticut!!

michelleNYC Feb 14th, 2003 10:12 AM

Low tonight is supposed to be 12F in Manhattan with a windchill of -5 to -10. YIKES!!<BR><BR>I like the idea of a nose muff ;-)

Hang in there Zootsi! We just got a break from the cold. It's almost above freezing here in Milwaukee. Hopefully this warming trend will move east quickly. I just hope we don't get hit with those INCHES of freezing rain they were expecting would hit somewhere along this HUGE El Nino weather system spanning the country right now!

buckeyemom Feb 14th, 2003 11:12 AM

Hi Sara-The freezing rain is supposed to hit us here in Ohio followed by snow. I am curling up in front of the fire with dh tonight and tomorrow going through the garden catalogs...

Syv Feb 14th, 2003 11:16 AM

-30 Celsius (-22 F) for tonight in Barrie Ontario (one hour north of Toronto).<BR><BR>High of -15 Celsius today (+5 F).<BR><BR>At least the sun is shining today :-)<BR><BR>Happy Valentine's Day!

This morning here in Naples, Florida I found it a little chilly also. In fact I wore long pants instead of shorts with my t-shirt for my hour long beach walk. But it has warmed up now, it's currently a sunny 78. OK, so hate me!!!

Lola Feb 14th, 2003 11:30 AM

Patrick, that is liable to get you mugged by a bunch of angry cold Yankees!! :o)<BR>

zootsi Feb 14th, 2003 11:49 AM

I actually like the winter, just as long as there is lots of snow, and the temps stay between 10 and 30 above. When it gets below zero it gets tough - the snowblower is hard to start, it's too cold to ski, etc. I still prefer living up here, however - builds character! ;-)

kodi Feb 14th, 2003 12:10 PM

The heck with building character!!!! I can't wait to get down to Florida in 2 weeks. Patrick, you lucky dog!!<BR>Ah, but I'll soon be walking the beach too. And now I must bundle up to take the dog for a walk...

SaraLou Feb 14th, 2003 12:21 PM

buckeyemom, If you get that freezing rain, make sure you know where the flashlights, candles, and matches are and keep the fire stoked. You are likely to lose power if you get that much ice. Good luck!

jersey Feb 14th, 2003 12:31 PM

New Jersey is also in for 2 snowstorms this weekend. As my dear departed Grandmother would say, it's colder then sin out. I'm tired of the snow and can't wait to be in Florida in two weeks also, Kodi. I just may not go home. Unfortunatly, my husband and I have promised our youngest (age 14) that we won't move until she's out of school. Then, see ya. And hello South Carolina!

michelleNYC Feb 14th, 2003 12:39 PM

TWO snowstorms?!?! I hear only one and that were are only supposed to get about an inch or two. Is that now incorrect?
