This storm is a huge one, south to Florida and north to the NE

How are things by you?
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.
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.


Yeah, I'm heading for Florida this weekend. 70s-80s.

Glad to see that someone is taking control of his environment instead of
sitting around bitchin about the weather.

There's little better in February than visiting south Florida. Unless
you can get to where it is warmer! :}

West side of Puerto Rico. No glitz, no nothing. Just beach. Temps between 82
and 90, nice breeze. Do a google search on a town called Rincon. It's a
quiet little haven for American surfers.

Been to PR twice. Enjoyed it both times. Never been to Rincon, though.
Thanks.

If someone you know needs to shop, or goes nuts without "things to do",
forget this place. There's nothing. Nada. Just beach.

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.
