I took these yesterday while still removing snow. Some banks are now only 8' high. My guys won't see the road til June at this rate.

And I thought I had it bad in Michigan. Good lord, I'd be going with what you have. Atleast I've had mine out a couple times to get my fix. Winter has been way, way to long this year.

I feel for ya pal.

It's Al Gore's fault. Mother nature threw him a curve ball. So much for global warming. We had one of the coldest winters on record here. Still have snow on the ground in Chicago. I only wish Al was right for once.

I am upset because my wife made me mow my lawn this morning and it was too hot. Now I get to take my vette for a drive, or should take my 55 Classic Chevy? Decisions, decisions?? Oh, it is now 80 here in Banning, CA and warmer 20 miles east in Palm Springs. Have a good day!

Jack just hold on, it's starting to get better in southern NH. I can see places in my yard where there's no snow.

I'm sorry about your ongoing confinement. The snow's bound to melt eventually.

I wouldn't mind having a bit of your snow here...well maybe for a day or two. It going to be about 85 in Tucson today.

I guess you are praying for the political Global Warming... the reality though is that we are going into a Global Cooling...

But seriously, that completely sucks! We get alot of rain from being on the Gulf, but no snow and definitely not like that. You could like make igloos and stuff. How many months are driveable topless? Down here, if you don't mind getting cooked during the summer months we have many months of nice driving with the top off/down. Hope things clear up for you. I assume all of your puzzles are finished as well as any indoor chore/hobby!
