    Hey Larry... How's the weather up there?

    You mentioned it's not winter until it's ultra sub zero...

    But here's what the weather looks like, Right now at my house, and it's still coming down... HARD.

    Of course I'll take snow over subzero any day... The main reason why I'm starting to dislike winter isn't the snow.. it's the cold.

    Hey Dude...that looks a lot like winter...
    Lucky for you, you have a monster VX at your disposal, to get down to the Wal-Mart for some more green shorts & a new fanny pack.......
    Sorry Richie, I tried to make myself behave, it just never works...

    That toe looks damn painful, hope you have a speedy recovery...
    Tell Brit she looks pretty in pink...even with a helmet on.
    Nice site!

    I'm going out later, in the balmy 50+ degree weather(though it is raining) to install some door hardware on the storm door I installed yesterday...

    Ha!!

    Figured I was opening a door

    It's feeling pretty ok for the first time in a week. Light at the end of the tunnel.

    Definitely need to take more care when consuming pain pills and going through the closet

    Going to take the VX out today... After all the white stuff is what finally prompted me to buy it. Last years' winter was just horrible.

    Good luck on the storm door!

    Oh and Brit says "THANKS!"

    I know what you guys mean! A savage cold front blew through here this weekend and dropped our temp down to only 74 today from the mid 90's a few days ago. Burrrrrrrr!
    My tan might start suffering!

    Good one Billy...must be just awful for you...

    Though I always face the winter with a slight amount of dread in the background, I also look forward to it, as it exponentially increases my appreciation of spring...

    With highs in the low 80s and lows in the upper 60s this might be the best time for weather here in Houston and much of Texas, I am loving this stuff!

    sorry I am done bragging about weather.

    Oh you 80-90º weather folk make me jealous. For the past few years we haven't had a fall in Utah. A couple weeks ago it was HOT outside. Now there's snow. And it's still bitter.

    Winter definitely makes me appreciate spring, but I also haven't had a spring for a few years. This last year is was bitter until late June, then instantly hot. Don't know what the deal is... This "Climate change" has got me confused

    That looks like a good time!

    And an FYI, I'm throwing Reno into my possible relocation cities.

    I would have been out doing something had I not been bed ridden for the past week... basically.

    looks like summer is officially over, The snow didn’t stick but those day are coming. I avoided two accidents last winter and each one was from a guy sliding up from behind. Rearview cameras are priceless in those situations.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    I still have snow on my front and back lawn. The snow even stuck to the streets here for most of the day.

    Now it's just cold.

    Don't think my 5 day forecast is panning out. Hopefully we do have a warm weekend. I really want to try and ride my Motorcycle

    Bart, probably won't be 'till Spring, but I'm definitely planning a visit.

    Yeah, when the roads are bad here, I just try to distance myself from other drivers as much as possible...I've had several scary moments out here over the last 2 winters.
