Our Arizona winters are so nice I actually enjoy it when we get some nasty, winter weather (so long as it doesn't interfere with my track weekends). Make the best of it and hope for an early spring. BTW, nice dog...I like Huskies!

I live in Tennessee, and I hate the winters here. The state can't make up it's mind if it's a northern or southern state. One days it's 70, two days later, it's 4 ! Everything is either gray or brown. Sky is usually overcast. We do get some nice days, but usually pay for it with a complete reversal of temps within a day or two. Fortunately, the winter is normally only about 90 days in length........................then the tornado season begins.

Hate is the word I would use. Really, really tired of it. I'm definately moving south.

I FREAKIN' HATE WINTERS IN NEW ENGLAND.

I just got back home last night after 9 days of 70 degree sunshine in Daytona Beach.
What a dose of reality after I got off that plane.
Three more months of this s#*t.

I like the change in seasons here in the Northwest... We usually do not get a lot of snow here in Portland (this Winter being the exception), but when you wake up and the car parked outside on the street looks like this, the Vette is not going out anytime soon... Once in a while is fun, but if we had this much snow every Winter, I would probably be singing another tune....

I'm heading to Sedona for our President's week vacation. I hope that Arizona doesn't get any of that nasty winter weather that week.

Roads are clear and the cold weather isn't a factor, but the streets are coated in salt and sand.
