    Lots of squeeky snow. Definitely not a good idea to touch your tongue to the bar on the ski lift (a la Dumb-n-Dumber)

    I'm actually jealous. The weather here in NJ has been downright gloomy-rainy and on the warmish side. Not real winter weather AT ALL! Send a blast of winter our way!
    Happy Lifetime Sectioner!

    Be careful on the snowy roads. A woman from my church spun out this morning and got smacked by a pick-up truck (driver's side) and she died an hour later. She had 3 children under the age of 7. So drive slow!

    Here it is the middle of January and the Twin Cities finally went from brown to white. Got what looks to be about 4-5 inches last night. You're more than welcome to it.

    Just recovered from 45 below. Got to love Alaska... At least we are a lot warmer than last year, we spent more than three weeks at least -30, often -50, it was brutal. It was also the second coldest January on record, which can only happen so often. The day I moved to fairbanks, almost 2 years ago exactally, was -50. You go through a lot of wood at tempuratures like that. I live in a small cabin with three people and four cats that has no running water and is heated with wood. The most amazing place I have ever lived.

    We're gonna get some snow tonight just south of Cleveland. I can feel it out there.

    Hey 'SlipSlog - met several of your 2003 classmates at the Ruck. When're you & Bad Ass Turtle gonna host us all out there for a Ruck?

    Default Texas weather

    30 degrees right now with freezing rain and sleet in Austin. Supposed to get colder and "wetter". Hold tight, I'm sure it's coming your way soon.

    Here in Denver it was colder over the weekend than it was up above 10,000 feet! We didn't get to -24* but we did get down to -14*.

    Man all of this cold must be missing Cincinnati. I only saw a dusting of snow all winter. And that was only because I went for a day hike that year. It didn't actually snow close to my house. There was only 1 night in single digits.

    This is a really warm winter. Hard to get any cold weather testing done this winter. Yet another reason why I need to move out west.
