Will This Winter Never End ???

THE WINTER THAT WOULDN'T DIE...:_snowplow...:sighwgray

I don't mean to complain too much, BUT...:rolleyesg

It was just 52 degrees the other day...:thumbup:

Gave Suzy a bath, put on my summer skins, whistled a happy little tune with visions of Moab dancing through my head...:cool:

TODAY is a whole nuther' story, look out my window this morning to see a light dusting of the white stuff, a few hours later, it's snowing like crazy (4-6 inches predicted) & I feel the need to vent a little...:upsetgray...:upsetgray...:upsetgray

There, I feel a little better, sorry you had to see that.:smilewink

print out a bunch of high quality photos of Moab, tape them up on the insides of Suzy's windows, and just sit in her with your heater cranked on high!

:smilegray

Want me to post a few pix of the garden to cheer ya up. Fox gloves, roses, Salvia, Pandorra vine...all exploding with blooms. The hummingbirds shopped up two weeks ago. There are systems to the north and south churning up the water...6-7ft. breakers in 3,4,5 sets. Unusually good for central Fla.. Longboards and kite surfers everywhere. The pool is 79 degrees. It's here, and it's headed your way. Dig yer toenails in just a bit longer. Sunny and seventy, any week now:dance::jump::clap:

LOL! You live in Fargo isn’t it always winter there? :p

Sounds like a little slice of heaven...speaking of humming birds, my mother knows a lady who believes that they migrate by riding on the back of Canada Geese...takes all kinds...

NO...we have TWO seasons here...winter & two months of road construction.:dance:

Thanks to all for making my winter doldrums a little more tolerable, I know spring is just around the corner, but I just had the urge to whine a bit this morning.:rolleyesg
Lots of people are WAY worse off than me & they probably complain less...whaddya gonna do...:_confused...guess I could dial whine one one & get the Whaaaaa-mbulance on it's way...:_crying:

yeah, we're finally breaking the winter spell here too...I took the studded snows off my Ram when it was sunny & 45 only to get 4" two days later....still had 280# of sand and the locker so got to work just fine..but, ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!! Global warming my behind!!!!!!!! But, on the bright side.....when i want to feel warmer I just put on the weather channel and check out what's happening in Fargo! :laughy:

I always thought snow was a blessing for a VX :)

Dub,
I'm right there with ya. We have had the longest, darkest, coldest winter that anyone around here can remember (what happened to global warming). We ususally get over 300 days of sunshine here in Colorado, but I don't think that we've seen the sun since October so we're a little low on our quota. It was up in the mid-fifties last week, and I was breaking out the road bike and getting ready. Yesterday and today it's overcast and in the upper thirties. No snow, but some rain (which is worse to me).
I've got all kinds of stuff to do to the VX before Moab, and even though I have a garage it's hard to get motivated to go hang out down there without the door open.
Like you said, spring is just around the corner.:luck:

Melt the ice,you put a bunch o water in the air...it comes down as more snow...reflects more light...stuff gets cooler....ice age! Pretty much how the old models/thinking go
