Actual temperature was 4 F in NYC and 6 F in Atlanta.
----------------------------------------That was fun. D&*# global warming. Sure miss the good old days when the weather conditions on earth were cyclical, a time when methane gas from cows was unheard of.

In March 1993 we had 12" of snow.
----------------------------------------That was also fun. What is not fun is when it is winter and you have to go to work and drive 52 miles each way. And your 1957 MGA won't start in the morning because of the cold. It has 2 batteries, but wait, they are 6 Volts and wired in series. And the electric current runs the wrong direction [positive to negative]. Can't tell you how much I don't miss that! Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some battle.

....and you have to go to work...
Aha, i think i found the flaw in your logic: When it's cold, and there's snow, the priority should be: ..fireplace ..warm things to drink ..a puppy to frolic with ..wallking in the woods  |

There is something worse than ice and snow.
----------------------------------------"HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 455 PM EST FRI JAN 10 2014" "...THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR STRONG OR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY AFTERNOON. WITH STRONG UPPER LEVEL WINDS...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WOULD BE THE PRIMARY THREAT. HOWEVER...A BRIEF ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT." Thanks NWS for that encouraging forecast; I hate it when tornadoes are not brief isolated. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some battle.

Once again the inconsiderate Georgianians have elected to allow their foul weather to cross the river and inconvenience us innocent South Carolinianians.
We may have to go ahead and erect that barbed wire fence along the Chatooga and Tugaloo rivers to insure our weather remains pleasingly pleasant. Grrr.  |

Like politicians, when we have something we don't want we give it to someone else.
----------------------------------------Preferably someone that can't vote us out of office. The only solution possible is to relocate South Carolina to a location west of Georgia. Unfortunately Alabama is already there and they get much worse weather from Mississippi. Come to think of it, you are probably better off to stay where you are. If it makes you feel better we apologize for sending such low quality weather your way. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some battle. Please join the team The survivors |

nasher,
----------------------------------------Sorry to hear you have been sick. Eyeglasses break! I had a Titanium frame break at the nose bridge after just bumping it. Hard to wear glasses when the lenses are not connected. You are averaging right at 19 days of run time, which is quite good. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some battle.

Welcome back, nasher. It's too quiet here with just 2 posters. Sorry you were sick.
I've swallowed my pride and now get the flu shot every year. Doesn't help with colds, though. It's beautiful today, sunny and 52F - followed tomorrow by possible snow flurries. Oi. |
