Snow. BLECH! It's been in the 70s where my family is in California...

1. It's been in the 70s in NM, too

I think this is the first January/February when there has been no snow on the mountains. Oh, we've had some, it's just gone in all this spring weather.

Our next chance is Tuesday. I'm not holding my breath, we'll get sprinkles if we get anything.

[Triana]

2. I wish we could send some of the precipitation we're getting here in that direction

They can pipe oil all over the freaking country. Why not rain/snow? It would have to be collected someplace first I guess.

[Warpy]

4. The Keystone pipeline might be a good idea

if they were shipping water to the agricultural areas of the south and southwest with it.

I'd get behind something like that.

In the meantime, I'm so glad I'm not in Boston this year.

I'll be kvetching about desert summer heat soon enough.

5. We in California wish you could too.

The warm weather is beautiful, of course, but we *really* need the rain and some snow in the Sierras. This is going to be another really dry summer-after several other very dry years.

[Triana]

7. I know. It's not looking good at all again this year.

Very worrisome for residents and farmers. Much US fruits and veggies come from Cali. If this drought is the "new normal", we'll be buying it all from freakin China - nasty tasting and probably poisoned with who knows what. And...expensive.

3. hope we can get home tomorrow...leaving

Seattle at 11:30..through Chicago... Schedule to land in Raleigh at midnight. Or will we?

[Triana]

6. Uh-oh.

I dunnooooooo. Safe travels TomatoMan. Better late than unsafe.

[barbtries]

9. you seriously should keep an eye on the situation.

it sounds as if you'll be trying to land in Raleigh at the worst possible time. safe travels

[barbtries]

8. that makes 2 of us.

family in CA...i will be there soon. but to be honest i am glad we get a taste of winter. breaks up the monotony, and it's pretty when you gaze out from your heated apartment.

[Triana]

10. Me, I just HATE snow and ice. Have a heat pump, which just freezes up and doesn't operate

in this kind of weather. I end up without heat and under blankets for the duration.

[barbtries]

12. you poor thing~

i would hate that too. do you have AC in the summer? summer is the time i hate in NC

[Triana]

13. AC usually works...

I can stand too warm easier than too cold. Heat pumps just suck in really cold weather - and especially snow and ice.

I went out to California a couple Christmases ago and HATED coming back to the cold rain of NC. Granted it *should* have been raining in Cali - this is one of the recent years leading to the drought - but it was just gorgeous! Every time the weather here sucks (most of the time, IMO), I get that 'California Dreamin' song going through my head!

[barbtries]

14. that song's always in my head.

7+ years now. i'm going home no later than 2017 even if i have to live like a pauper.
out here, i don't even call it "summer." i call it "sweat."
i'll be there in July for a week. can hardly wait.

[NRaleighLiberal]

11. flight canceled! we get another day in Seattle!

[barbtries]

15. make it a good one!

was thinking about you today. by the time you get here the roads may even be passable.

[Triana]

16. New Rule...

(I wish I could enforce it!)
