...it's so cold that...well you can fill in the rest. I tell you one thing for sure, I'm thinking a beach in Hawai'i sounds like a place I'd rreeaallyy like to be right now. Supposed to get down around 5 or 6 degrees here tonight, wind chill down around -12. Yikes! Some of you Taropatchers on the Islands want to send a little of that warmth our way...oh, and maybe a Mai Tai too. Mahalo.

| And I thought it was getting cold here in Olympia. But it's only 24 right now on it's way down to an expected low of 15.....heat wave compared to you! But we did get to do some sledding and build a huge snowman with our grandkids yesterday! It has only snowed a handful of times during the 4+ years we've been here. |

| We've had it good this winter. Last Saturday was 70 degrees and New Yorkers were walking around in their t-shirts and shorts. More back to normal tonight at 42 degress and I am still not complaining. Stay warm - especially if your in the single digits or colder! |

| We're not getting any sympathy here are we? Just a bunch of cold T-patchers crying in our beer huh? Forecast is for 2 above 0 tomorrow night. bbbrrrrr! Oh well, since it's to cold to do much outside, I guess we'll all get a little extra time to play with our stringed friends. |

When I was a kid in the hills of West Virginia....
It was so cold . . .
when we milked the cows, we got ice cream! When we milked the brown cows - we got chocolate ice cream!

Very funny!
OK Auntie Maria, get out a big fan and point it towards the northwest. I'll put on some Island music - a little Gabby maybe - and go sit in my lounge chair on the patio and wait for those warm trades to get here. Haha. They'll get here alright - come June. |

One advantage to the chilling weather here in Seattle...clear enough skies to view the recently-discovered Comet McNaught ---
http://www.komotv.com/home/video/5167132.html?video=pop&t=a
I was viewing it from the 38th floor of a downtown Seattle building last night, with binoculars.
The comet was first visible about ½-hour after sunset, and it took about 20 minutes to sink below the horizon.
Amazing to see – and we might get one more clear night of viewing tonight. |

Just wait Andy, based on the satellite photos, looks like the fickle finger of frigid atmosphere is heading your way!!

Lawrence, believe it or not the scheduled drop to around 15 next week will be welcome. What lots of folks forget is that our flora and fauna are not adapted to these unusual weak El Nino conditions. For instance, our daffodils, daylillies, etc. are coming up - if they get buds, it is all over; Even our roses still have buds and haven't dropped their leaves. Deer ticks carrying Lyme disease, and mosquito eggs and larvae carrying West Nile are still alive in big numbers (they will kill a *lot* of birds in the coming year, and a few people); in the lakes next to our house, the mergansers, Great Blue Herons, and other who should be south, are hanging around with the swans and the geese and they are all eating everything on the lake bottoms that should be for other water fowl in Spring. Lots of good insects, like bees and wasps, who should be snugly hibernating were out and flying around and will get killed.
It has been nice not to pay so much for heating fuel at $2.39 a gallon, but I'd pay a little more to have things normal in the next 3 seasons. And, as deregulated electric rates in CT have just this month done what they did in CA a few years ago, we certainly don't want hot weather later that requires a lot of A/C activity.
Either way, you pay.

Well, global warming has certainly upset the standard weather patterns for us also. Last week I was able to actually work out in the garden, planting some very late daffodils  but last night it became so cold that hubby and I were wrapping pipes and covering plants with frost blankets. It dipped down to 26 degrees and is expected to drop into the teens tonight. Maybe some snow at the higher elevations as well. Bad not only for the plants and animals, but we have a very large homeless and elderly population that is causing concern. A lot of folks have not planned for such cold and have no alternate source of heat besides their electric heaters. But when the power goes out, they're all in trouble.
Aloha from "sunny" California...

Heat wave here, up to 0 for the first time in two weeks. Monday and Tuesday were minus 50 F. Wednesday warmed ujp abou 2 degrees/hour all day, nice feeling.
We have no wind when it gets cold, so wind chill is same as temp readings. 90 miles south they get cold and wind. I stay away from there in winter. |

Karl - don't your eyelids freeze shut? I love the picture of you with your shorts and aloha shirt, sitting out in the snow.
Remember, a dry cold is the same as dry heat -- a freezer is dry cold, same as an oven is dry heat.
I guess Cleveland weather is not so bad. |
