So here we are at on 2/2/12, Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow so 'he' is predicting six more weeks of winter. Colorado is forecast for 6" - 10" inches of snow in the next 36 hours and down here in Houston we are already fighting mosquitos and turning on our air conditioners. As Yakov Smirnoff used to say, "What a country." BTW, our lows have been 63 to 67 and our highs are 74 to 80, how's your winter going?
 
That Phil, must not have read the internet, what's his name said we are globaly warming!!!!!!
 
This winter has been much milder and less snowy than I can remember. Last year this time we had 150" snow, this year about 35".

Not complaining....
 
low 60's all week...6-12 inches of 100% pure fluffy white stuff predicted for Saturday. Told my son we are gonna be eating ground-hog chili tonite for dinner (I use a ground pork, aka hog, with fennel) to celebrate Ground Hog's Day. He didn't think it was funny. I wonder if I will get an email from his teacher today.

Whats his name should have consulted with Phil the science is worth less than Phil's experience.
 
Yup, I'm smack in the middle of it......now it's up to 20" with possible blizzard conditions. Don't think I'll be seeing any sun with this one, like I did last week. Of course, have a funeral that I have to be at tomorrow, about 50 miles of driving, should be interesting. :eek:

January was pretty mild. Had a couple of days in the low 50's. Have had more rain than snow., couple of inches on the ground right.

You guys drive in the snow????? If we get one inch of snow we shut down for a week!
 
we had a 2 foot snow fall last april in vermont, don't reckon i'll experience that this year in texas. i would however, like to shoot a couple of woodchucks, i do like woodchuck stew!
 
"You guys drive in the snow????? If we get one inch of snow we shut down for a week!"

Yeah, I've was in OK City once when they got 2", it was total chaos, most folks didn't have a clue what to do. My son is stationed up in Tacoma at Ft Lewis, the got like 6" a couple weeks ago, the entire region was immobilized. His power was out for almost a week.

You betcha! Now that I don't have to drive 150 miles (one way) over 4 mountain passes for my week long cancer treatments, I try to limit trips and stay home when it snows.

We got a dusting of snow (skiff) night before last. There is a little snow on the mountains but, we are already behind and CA is telling the ag business to expect 60% of water delivery this year. I'm afraid it will turn into another bad fire year.
 
It is funny, right now the sun is out, maybe mid-40's out, and we are headed into a blizzard.........gotta love it!
 
We get ice. Now that's bad stuff to drive in! I love it when the 4 wheel guys think that just because they have 4 wheel drive that they won't slip and slid on the ice! After passing me at a higher than should be speed I usually see them a little farther down the road in a ditch.
 
Does Phil predict an extended winter for the entire country or just us Pennsylvanians?

They've poured concrete for my latest project and they plan to pour the rest of it on Monday.
