    foggy sunshine
    62 degrees at 10 AM here on the Oregon coast with the fog starting to burn up. It usually stays in the 60's during the summer on the coast. But if you want it hot all ya gotta do is head up the river a few miles and it will be in the 70's, a few miles more and it's in the 80' s, and keep going and you'll hit the 90's and be ready for swimmin. Get to hot and just head back to the coast and nature's air-conditioning cools you off. I love it!

    Scorching hot
    Here in Virginia we are baking in dry heat--relatively low humidity for this area--in the 90s for the past 3 days. Only a few small cumulus clouds & no rain or much wind... "The sky was yellow & the sun was blue..." Jay

    downright wintry in Oakland. Yesterday the fog-drizzle was heavy enough that I had to use the windshield wipers.

    Humid in Arizona?
    Humid in Phoenix: almost sounds like an oxymoron. Just did a road trip to Nashville for some honky tonkin, then down to Ft Myers to see my in-laws, followed by a long drive back to KC. Billboard images are still flashing in my brain. Corn crop looks good, so we should be able to make more ethanol and pay higher food prices. KC today is 94 in the shade, and my yard looks like a blow torch hit it: the lush green spring growth is OVER! I'll be out doing CPR on my tomatoes, jalapeno peppers and bush beans. "... I knew right away she was not like other girls....other girls'..."

No complaints from me, but I don't live in the flood zone either. Be careful out there!

got about 6 inches in the mountains of NC, about a half inch of ice under the snow. Shoveled it up and dug out the car, roads are ok, but there will be ice. Still slightly snowing here but is winding down, not the 12 to 18 inches they had projected.

if you can avoid driving in this, it's a good idea. I got a flat yesterday so had to go to Costco today to get a replacement, and the freeway was such a mess coming home that I was really glad to have the good tires. Even gladder to be home and not have to go out again. This rain does take me back to a whole lot of getting soaked outside the Henry J.

At least I can say that. There has been a short stretch of sub-zero temps and even more frigid wind chills. Unfortunately, there has not been much in the way of snow again this winter. I essentially have to head north or to higher elevations if I want to experience any deep snow. We only have 5" of snow cover at the moment! We're also looking at the potential for mid-40 degree weather and rain for the latter part of next week which should essentially obliterate the little we currently have. I guess Punxatawny Phil was right... On a positive note, I was able to get one of my old snowshoes repaired for only $20. The crampon was broke. It's amazing how difficult those parts can be to track down! The snow shoe companies really have planned obsolescence down to a "t"! Thanks to my perseverance and stick-to-itiveness I have a real nice set for backup. And on another positive note, I have at the moment reservations for Sedgwick, CO and 2 nights in Denver for Spring Break. And, a little bit later I will set the reservation for 2 or 3 nights at Estes Park, which is just a stones throw from the Colorado Rockies wilderness and paradise for a snowshoer like me. There's not much I'd rather be doing on the first day of spring than snowshoeing in the Colorado Rockies.

Snowshoed today and it was great! (if a little shallow on the snow) At least it was cold enough. Was able to spot a kingfisher, a screaming red-tailed hawk, a beaver den and various other mammal tracks...

Funny, my nickname used to be 'ski-man' but I was never a skier. On another tangentially related note, I just supported the Rex Foundation! There is a t-shirt available over at Nancy's Yogurt and all proceeds benefit the Rex Foundation. It's thanks to you for including the website... :-) http://nancys-yogurt.myshopify.com/products/nancy-s-yogurt-sunshine-day… http://www.rexfoundation.org/support-rex/

...on the button. It may have actually been colder at a point. Not to mention there's about a foot of fresh, light airy powder snow and nary a breeze. The weather conditions made for several wonderful snowshoe treks at some of my favorite haunts yesterday!
