Just fine, Jimmy! A couple inches of crap on the ground, but nothing a
stick shift can't handle.

I hope you don't try to get out there and shovel this stuff. I want your
back to be healthy for the coming boating season.

Lastly, there was nothing in the above that was derogatory. If you think
there was, get someone to read it for you.

LMAO!!!!!! A *Floridian* talking about taking control of his

He'd better start controlling those hurricanes ...as they grow stronger by
the year!

Wish I could. Wish I could help you guys out with your miserable weather
too.

Ponce ... on the south side. It was primarily an agricultural area with
many sugar cane fields, snakes and mongoose that ran throughout the housing
areas whenever they burned the fields.

It was interesting. We participated in the local culture ... clubs,
shopping, etc. and had several Puerto Rican friends. The weather was
consistently hot and the same everyday except for the rainy season when it
cooled down to 85 degrees for a month or so. It was also many years ago and
the Independentista were raising hell everywhere on the island. I'll leave
it at that.

By the time that storm hits us along the coast tomorrow, we'll get some
snow but then it's expected to turn to rain. Fairly high winds
expected.


There are 3 to 5 foot drifts everywhere. Everything is shut down.

This storm had to have dumped another foot or so of snow on folks in the
Rochester and Buffalo New York area, with those areas already having 10+
feet of snow on the ground.


Drifts? Ha. What about straight-down snow?

Amazing pictures.


They're supposed to get another two feet today. :-) They laugh about it out
that way.

As I recall it was usually some little town I'd never heard

sure they existed.

Ypsilanti (aka Ypsitucky) is down by Ann Arbor.

snow
but then it's expected to turn to rain. Fairly high winds expected.


Behold, the iceman cometh.


Started off as rain last night and this morning,t hen turned to sleet/
rain/ice/ mix, then ice, then more ice, then wind and snow. didn't get
much ground coverage, but the ground is convered with ice mush, and
the hwy. dept can't keep up. the plows just shave off a layer, and
thats about it. Pretty slick out in the streets.


So far, we've had some light rain which has frozen on the ground. The feds
sent home their employees at 2 PM today so they could avoid icy roads.


We're supposed to have "frain"* through tomorrow afternoon.


* Sonny Eliot reference.


Wife is saying it is chilly again. Dropped from 60's to the 50's. But
supposed to be 70's by Thursday.- Hide quoted text -

I know it's not record cold, but it's had a low of 5 here and is 9+f.
at 7:32am, and is supposed to have a high of 12. cold snap still
hanging in there, but supposed to be in the high 30's and low 40's by
next Tue.

Sucks, doesn't it? It's 30F here (Southern Maryland) now, and we haven't
had too bad a winter to date.

Glad to hear that and have fun Chuck, I always enjoyed visiting Seattle on
my way to Wenatchee.

My time will once again be spent inside, housebound due to the post op
condition in my right leg. Did you ever see the movie "Ground Hog Day"?
That is exactly how my days have become.

My wife drove me today to another Orthopedic Surgeon to get a third opinion
on the MRI I had last week. He agreed with the opinion of the Orthopedic
Surgeon doing the operation and that of my primary care physician.. All
said that there is nothing in the post operative imaging to show any concern
over and the condition is due to the surgery, specifically the immediate
release of pressure from a nerve being impinged on (disc herniation) for
some time.

It may take another month or up to a year but I should regain total use and
control of my right leg. There were also a number of positive signs during
the physical exam to show that the condition is temporary.

Let's hope I will be out there getting the boat ready in early April and
enjoying another season on it with my family and friends. ;-)

Corrosion pin hole in the top and lots of major corrosion where probably the
salt water set and touched the flooring also. For $860 including shipping,
figured was better than leaking 67 gallons of high-priced dynamite into the
bilge.

How did that work out for you? It never got over 65 on Saturday on the

Comcast finally got me back online

Supposed to rain tomorrow. Went to a political caucaus meeting on MLPA's
this morning then the Fred Hall Show in SF, bought a new 7' 40# stick for a
planned La Paz trip this summer and then home to go bike riding until 5:30
with the wife. About 70 degrees, and the almond trees are starting to
bloom.
