WOW Jor, that is extreme!!! Where do you live?

Rave: we're finally having a Fodorites gathering in Naples, Fla. tomorrow.

Rant: it just started raining and is supposed to rain most of tomorrow. Well at least it's currently 70 degrees (sorry, jor, couldn't resist rubbing it in).

OK Jor, you got me, but where are you so I never go there in January! (Nor would I advise coming here in January!)

I live in Fargo ND. When these temps are shown on national broadcasts some people think they are wind chill temps. They are actual temps. Wind chill is 45 to 50 below.

I look forward to this thread every Friday!
RANT: There will be no traveling in our near future, except to a wedding in the Bay Area in June...maybe. The last 2 years in March we've been in the UK...I'm sad.

Rave: I don't live in Fargo!

55 degree highs??? We're on a streak of about 25 days now of below normal temps...supposedly this is the coldest January NYC has seen sinc 1977. Most of this month has not gotten higher than in the 20's!!

Rave: Again that I don't live in Fargo!

Sorry jor!

Rave: Our ailing 15 YO golden retreiver is slowly improving and the vet says it may not be a brain lesion after all but an inner ear lesion. This is good news as the latter is something that can be recovered from. Huge sigh.

Rave: Messages from fodorites expressing good dog thoughts last week. Thanks folks, very uplifting.

Rave: (To make it travel related) Got to take the dog for a car ride today and she didn't puke. She's always loved car trips.

You Go Ani! No slack required.
