When I lived in Kaneohe '79-'81 I had a bumper sticker that read "Ho Hum, Just Another Shitty Day in Paradise". I remember one day it actually hit 65 degrees.

We had a lot of weather like that in the Space Coast area of Florida I will never forget sitting outside day after Christmas drinking "a cold frozen drink" outside of Gatsby's with sweat rolling off me, it sure didn't feel like the Holidays..

Solid drizzling rain since about 3:30p local, and just hovering above freezing. I hope it stays "warm" until after my shift is done. CVPIs and ice are only fun for about 10 seconds.

My mom lives in Hilo. She puts a sweater on when it gets down to 70.

Snow is great.................on post cards.

As I've often said to people, referring to pics such as was posted here (I've never seen snow, ON THE GROUND, since I was 1 year old)... "Sure, it's pretty... so is MOLTEN LAVA, but, I DON'T WANT IT IN MY YARD.".

(I've seen snow *flakes* here in FL, on 3 occasions... and I'm neither proud nor happy about that..)

I dont know what I liked better! I lived in tacoma for a year, had fun in the snow when I went to the higher places, lived in the slush than had some M2 barrels glowing in yakama then toped it off with a sand storn on the indian reservation while transporting heavy equipment. A quick trip to yellostone for a weekend. It was a fun year. I love the gunshine state as a home though. I dont miss the slush or frozen roads. I do miss the M2, that was fun!:America:

Got called out for a problem at work this morning, snowing hard here, took me two hours for the 60 mile drive I had to make. Snowing so hard tonight I can't keep the sattelite dish brushed off. I have been threatening to heat tape it, guess it's gonna happen now.

I spent last Christmas in the North Sea (North of Scotland). That was the coldest I have ever been out on deck.

I enjoy it, the NW isn't as bad as some think it is usually you have to drive to the snow "I moved to it" but I spent some of my forming years in Colorado they had real weather, the only thing I remember Colorado doing poorly at as far as weather was concerned was hot weather, I never remembered it getting too dang hot in Colorado but I sure remember the snow, I remember blinding snow moving sideways, but I am an old softy when it comes to this stuff at times I love the muffled hush that comes with it, that certain silence and then the sound of a chained truck in the distant highway, the deer tracks, then I like to see it go away and out here it usually does, in Colorado it would get ugly when it would clear up I remember miserable cold weather with gray ugly slush rolling down the gutter, nasty brown and black icicles hanging off the back bumpers of cars and then it was minus zero and blowing brrrrr the NW is kinda different than that, for most of us after December its cool mild and raining and raining and then raining ....but I am still buying one of those pop up gazebo thingies to shoot under ....I am like a big kid when it comes to shooting and snow aint stopping me, just those pesky hunters, God lovem though they are the reason I get to shoot though...oh well.:rolleyes:

Hey Buddy, i have never lived in a cold climate but I imagined it like you said, it could be wonderful and beautiful, especially after being out and coming home to your family in a cozy warm home!

IMHO I think its beutiful, at times.

Enjoy it, be safe and stay warm!

Had freezing rain in Anchorage this morning. My usual 25 minute drive to work took 2.5 hours! This is the first time I've seen freezing rain in the 6.5 years I've lived here; usually it's just snow.

I would have thought you folks were already under it already, in my opinion freezing rain is the worst and is the most dangerous, but what is so dangerous out here about it is we don't set ourselves up for it on an economic basis because it is hit or miss so the plows and all that are limited and so you can get stuck somewhere for a long time....
I called in tonight, I had a bad near miss this morning...:icon_confused:

It's been cold here, already several killing frosts but Indian summer must have arrived. Nearly 70 today and mid 70s all week. We usually get the froze crap around here and the transplants used to make fun of us for hoarding bread and milk until they realized NOBODY can drive on ice......cept the ice road truckers.

No kidding... Thursday here its supposed to get up close to 80 by noonish and then cool off to 40 before dark and get below freezing Thursday night. Out at my lease (where I'll be Friday) it will get into the teens, then be short-sleeve weather in the afternoon.

A few weekends ago I went out to my blind in the morning and the ground was covered in frost/ice, and by 10 am you were sweating in shorts and a T-shirt...... I would just love consistent weather. Its gets old bundling up in a sweatshirt and blasting the heater in the mornings, then blasting the AC on the drive home from work...

And to your comment, I've seen it snow and hail in one storm, and there were reports of a tornado in the same storm, just not near us!
