Jan 14, 2005 07:16 am That sure as hell cauld mate.
I tell ye, its cauld here but NOT that cold!!! Jeez...but, on the flipside, that is why we get so much bloody rain here.
It ALWAYS rains in Scotland..thats why we are never short of fantastic water...also why my family (roofing contractors) are kept in business :-) !!
Cheers

Jan 14, 2005 08:11 am The "C" is the celcius.
And for the record, today isn't even as cold as we usually see it during the winter, this has been a particularily warm winter.
Jan 14, 2005 08:26 am whats your location ,i am up in maine and we are seeing an unusally warm day i woke to 58 degrees F and we usually see a high in the 20's and down as low as 5-10 below zero around now
Jan 14, 2005 08:29 am Minneapolis, Minnesota, God's Country.
Jan 14, 2005 08:30 am ya i hear it gets as cold as it can there but looking at the wheather map all that cold is blowing in our way tonight !yippie!
Jan 14, 2005 08:32 am thank god i am not like my other friends and own snowmobiles and the like.the music gear keeps me out of that cold with the occasional video game or two .
Jan 14, 2005 08:36 am Snowmobiles aren't that bad, at least you are behind windshields to break the wind and sometimes have the heat of the motor blowing back at you keeping you warm.
That said, I am not a winter person, why I live in Minnesota is ONLY because the market in my line of work isn't that great yet, when it improves and I have a good chance of finding a good job down south, me and my family are OUTTA HERE...Arizona if Denny Green gets himself fired from their football team. New Mexico otherwise. :-)
Jan 14, 2005 09:01 am Hey Dan... 54 degrees and rain (in Maine). I am seeing patches of grass everywhere right now.
Jan 14, 2005 09:02 am I still see grass, we don't have much snow (which is odd, we should have about 2 feet by now)...it's just cold as @%^##$&@^%$#@
Jan 14, 2005 09:05 am actually i lived in albequerque for awhile and when i do retire and get sick of the cold (and the kids move out) the wife and i are thinking of going back or to hawaii,but we also were thinking we would buy an RV and just see the country and become one of those annoying 35mph drivin' people that we get so upset with now .
Jan 14, 2005 09:09 am where abouts in maine are you ZX6R1033 ,we are just east of L/A and yes grass everywhere not to mention standing water
Jan 14, 2005 09:20 am Augusta. There is a lot of standing water up here too.
Jan 14, 2005 09:22 am huh ,small world .we are just outside of monmouth in WALES (where?)
Jan 14, 2005 09:24 am lol, thats not far at all. Who would have thought?
Jan 14, 2005 09:26 am Meanwhile in the UK it's been our first sunny day today for months, still a little nippy, but beautiful. Off to the park to record some deer and parrots with my MD, too good a day to miss out on being outside.
Jan 14, 2005 09:41 am see HRC bringing neighbors together !distant and not so distant
Jan 14, 2005 10:24 am I never want to see snow again. Hate it. And don't give me that "Oh, but it's so pretty..."
67ºF today, and that's cold for around here (Ventura, CA). If we could only dry out a little. The ground's saturated from last week's storms.
I have a couple of friends who live in La Conchita. I saw one on the news, so I know he and his family are okay, and the other has been displaced from his home (all okay too). It's absolutely terrible what happened there. I've been waiting for a week to travel up the 101, but it's still closed.
Jan 14, 2005 10:56 am been in the 60's,70's here in North Carolina but will be cold this weekend with highs reaching the 40's :) I love North Carolina!!!
Jan 14, 2005 11:01 am Woke up this morning to the news...the temp in the corner said -12...hahahaha
It wasnt that bad tho...I had a sweatshirt and my Minnesota Wild light jacket on...I put gas in my car and my ear stung a lil but still it was ok...
I got warm clothes and xtra stuff in my car in case I break down...a quasi winter survival kit...even tho I am driving a 2004 vehicle....
Jan 14, 2005 11:03 am TO add to the We're Neighbors thing, I happen to live in Santa Barbara Ca myself. And today it is sunny and not so warm. Currently 39ºF. Way colder than usual for Santa Barbara. (I think the average temp for a year is in the low 70's)
I grew up in Mass. and I am also sick of the snow and cold. NEVER want to live in it again. Good luck dB. Hope the market gets good soon so you can get to warmer grounds.
Jan 14, 2005 11:21 am Cool, Philthyone! Just moved out of SB county (Carpinteria) to Ventura (rode the property prices high in SB, and lower in VTRA). I couldn't afford to live in SB county any more. The sun is shining at last. There's snow on the mountains behind Ventura...nasty stuff.

A pic of Farve with the caption "when your best just really sucks" and pics like that LOL
Jan 14, 2005 12:36 pm the best part of the the cold is that feeling in the springtime knowing that its all over man that feels good ,plus i wear shorts and a t-shirt 95% 0rf the time even when it is below 0 after two or three days of that 25 seems greatand your out shoveling snow withotu a shirt on.hahahahaaabut i do long for those zero humidity southwestern evenings with a cold beer
Jan 14, 2005 12:39 pm go vikings i'm think i'm the only new englander whoisn't for the PATS
Jan 14, 2005 12:41 pm LOL
Yeah, baby. The Eagles without Terrell and the starters pretty much not playing for almost a month, yeah, we have a chance if they don't implode like the last half of the season.
Jan 14, 2005 12:52 pm i got that email too dB, just this morning...with all the pics in it...its solid....
Jan 14, 2005 02:05 pm I got the e-mail too. I can see why you guys would think it was funny.

what the flip part of the uk do you live in that has parrots and deers walking about in the park?
Jan 15, 2005 01:00 am Ah heck the cold is not that bad. We camp out in this stuff. Last year we camped out in -7 f with a -57 degree windchill. Born and raised in Minnesota. When the temp hits 37 degree's above zero I am back in my t-shirt and shorts. Heck, my 12 year old rides his bike to school in this crap. Even when there is 2 feet of snow. He is the envy of all his friends. Or maybe they just think he's nuts.
But ya, Im with dB. Next good offer that comes along for a full time gig out west, I'm takin it. I dont like winter without snow.
Jan 15, 2005 02:43 am Hey dB, it's -33C here without wind-chill, into the -40's with. One morning we had 60kph winds to go along with it (and yes, I was working as a rent a cop and out in it for 7 hours the past 3 nights).
Warming up for the weekend they say, at least I hope so. It hasn't been this bad here in a few years, so I'm betting on it being a short one.

Jan 15, 2005 03:21 am i think it was 80 here two days ago.
at night, 60's.
this is unusual, it's usually a bit cooler. coldest yet this year was 30 i think, one night. usually come january we see maybe a week like that. people cover thier tropical plants with sheets and complain and shiver violently, and i laugh, cause i'm from pittsburgh.
Jan 15, 2005 07:24 pm Waldo, have you got any snow up there yet? We dont have squat down here. Like dB said, you can still see the ugly brown dead grass.
Jan 16, 2005 04:39 am Yeah, we had snow every night for a while, side of the walk is piled up to at least 4 feet now. Don't know how much fell, but it was enough.
W.
Jan 16, 2005 10:14 am jeezuz, we usually have a couple feet by now and I can still see grass (I live about 5 miles from Noize2u).
AND you're working outside doing a rent-a-cop gig...ARGH!
Jan 16, 2005 12:27 pm heh I saw tulip bulbs coming up yesterday here in ohio...new we have 2 inchs of snow.
