    Comical!!!
    We had some almost comical weather last week 2/11,and 2/12 we had wind gusts up to 60 mph. 19,000+ without power, we were 1 of the lucky ones. Our electric was out from early am on 2/11 until mid day on sat. the 14th. Living in Erie, Pa this time of year one does not require a fridge to keep there food from spoiling. We emptied the contents of the fridge onto our sun porch, which is not insulated. We used our gas stove for heat and tried to make the best of it.Peace

    after no rain at all in January
    which was pretty scary, we are having almost comical bad weather here in lovely Oakland, causing me once again to be pathetically grateful not to be lining up in the downpour and swapping every germ known to man at one of our fine local venues, as in years past. Loved those CNY/Mardi Gras'St. Paddy's shows, but I'm appreciating being warm, dry and inside at the moment too. I'm old and I'm proud... Thunder! Lightning! Hail! Flooded streets!

    nice day
    Walked the beach in the morning picking up agates, walked through the forest in the afternoon picking hedgehogs, chantrelles, and yellow feet, made $32. Hedgehogs go for $5 a pound and black chantys $6. Have had quite a number of 60 degree days and a couple in the 70's since new years. I love Oregon!

    Cold Rain & SNOW!
    Snowed like hell today. We got maybe 10 more inches on top of 10 already on the ground. It's pretty polar out there! Brings the deer down off the mountain and it's always a trip to see these gentle creatures just minding their own business. It sucks that they have to cast a wary eye at the humans around here who often shoot them. Anyway, it's only the end of January and the way it's going this year I fully expect to be walking through three feet of snow by the end of March. Hopefully we'll catch a break before the Dead & Albany, Worcester and Hartford roll along this spring. Ahhh, Spring. Ther mere thought if it makes me feel better!

    Two of my employees went to work in 40 below temps, before wind chill, in Aberdeen SD and up in Bismarck ND, yesterday, 1/14. Fortunately, their cars didn't break down or go off into a snowdrift, as I spoke with both today: heck it was above 0 today. In Aberdeen, the public schools were still in session....

Last weekend I was in my Forester and I was looking at the outside temp gauge it read 0 and my wife noticed. She asked what temperature it was outside, I said "..there ain't one" A dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago... ________________________ www.autoquoteresearch.com

Warmed up to 30 degrees today in Erie, Pa., but the wind chill was 14 degrees, and we're up to about 8 inches of snow. More snow for the rest of the week and colder temps are returning tomorrow.

It's not supposed to be like this in the Bay Area. However my kids did get to play in the snow for the second time in their nine-year lives in the hills above our home. High of about 45 today, degrees that is.

Woke up to freezing rain, a bit of an icestorm. Our vehicles as well as everything else was a sheet of ice. Then it warmed up about 2 degrees and rained all day. Needless to say my work day as an Ironworker really sucked. Kept telling my crew, there's nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!

We have had 40 inches of snow in January, now it is warming up a bit and then turning to slush and freezing at night. Schools have been closed most of this week. Alao a period in there of temps just above 0 F. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

cold and rainy today. Unfortunately all the flowering fruit trees were lured by the faux spring into bursting into bloom, which is probably not going to turn out well.

isn't that how it goes? Maybe it will warm up enough so the bees can get busy. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Crazy wind pushes my van into lanes without my consent. 50-60 on average. I'm not used to it man, I miss Vermont's snow. NC is awfully nice though. You can't beat the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I learned that I will not be meeting with the clients today because ice is falling from the sky - this, of course, avails me the opportunity to have a burn-fest extraordinaire, fire up 2/21/69 and pray for better weather. "Where does the time go?"

They told us to stay home again - not that I'm complaining, I just miss the clients. Speaking of the clients, one of them, a sophomore, has been battling a malignant brain tumour. Sheis one of the sweetest girls - the song "Ripple" comes to mind - in the school and a drive was begun to help fund her mounting bills. The head of the drive said that if $6,000 were raised a day of school would be missed, a number of students would donate their locks and several teachers would shave their heads in front of everyone at the school. The day the news of $ raised and hair removal everyone wore rags that said "stay strong." Several local TV crews showed up to disseminate what had gone down and everyone was overwhelmed as over $21,000 had been raised. Taylor even helped shave a head! In the many years I've been teaching this event has really shown the way the community in which I work can come together - and for that I'm grateful. O.K., time for 2/22/69 and a taste more coffee. Rock on Dead people! "Where does the time go?"

Or so they say. It's dry at the moment, though, giving the water a chance to soak in a bit. Thanks for your tale, Deadicated. Live strong beamz headed to Taylor.

Starting to cloud up here on the coast - it was a gorgeous morning though! I'm spoiled, and am tired of rain! Back home where my hubby and son live, they're tired of snow (something like 80 inches this year so far?), so I guess I shouldn't complain. but hey! It's Southern California, dammit; it's supposed to be sunny!

Steve-O, you must be in my latitude. NOAA says we're going for 34 degrees today, & this will be the first day like that since, I think, early January. I'm trying to figure out how to rig the lights to get the tomatoes & basil started indoors."Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world." And the hands, baby. Wanna get those hands dirty.

After our first snow of the year on Friday (1-3 inches) we had a snow day! Yeah! A perk of being a teacher. Started to melt out entirely yesterday and now it's climbing up to low 40s, sunny, no precipitation in sight (yeah- no indoor recess for the kiddies!) Able to go sledding and build snow sculptures with my kids on Friday and saturday- perfect snow for it, not a lot of it, but perfect. I'm now ready for spring and getting the garden together....Ami
