[Turtle Tedd]

Tedd, if I sent you snow you'd write my name on the bottom of your toilet bowl just to get even.

It actually did snow down here once ...I think it was in 1985...disappeared though almost as soon as it hit the ground....I do remember some major snow storms growing up in New York...snow drifts on one side of the house as high as the roof

[fasteddy]

The last winter I was in NY they had snow so bad they literaly had no place to put it. I think something like 10 or 12 foot snow fall. People were trapped in thier houses and couldn't get out.
Eastern Canada got it too.

Yes..I remember one time..we were snowed in my dad went out the window in the back of the house and walked to the store to get some coffee and beer...we watched him walk down the street ...the wind was blowing so hard he was at about a 15 degree angle off the ground like one of those ski jumpers in the olimpics...when he got back he looked like he just come off Mt.Everest..ice on his mustach and eyebrows....beer and milk were just about frozen....he was glad he got the coffee...

It's 90 degrees today (and for nearly the last week) in the Phoenix, AZ area. Supposed to cool off to the 70's in a few days.

The seasons here are reversed. In the cold, you can at least add clothes. Here, in the summer, there is a limit to the clothing you can remove...

Eighty-something degree weather has been what I've been used to all my life here. More sunshine than rain.

Even with my friction drive, I STILL try to ride rain or shine. Sure the roller/tire slips like mad, but it STILL beats pedalling.

On rainy days I keep speeds down and ride the bikepath and backroads to work.

Robin, I left Ontario for the last time in 1979. I've never looked back though I'm thinking of going back for a visit to see old friends before I lose any more. My first time here was in 1970.

Just had enough of the Ottawa Valley winters.
