That is way too cold for me--and I'm sure winter is very long! That is what I like about here--we have winter, but it only last a couple months and any day during winter we can have mid 70s and go barefoot!

You do get used to it though. Once in March, me & a girlfriend went to Clearwater & were sunbathing on the beach only to get kicked off because of a storm coming. People were wearing winter coats with hoods including the guy that was kicking us out! We were just fine in our bikinis. We had our suntan lotion on & wind blew sand all over us. The guy said we looked like breaded pork chops LOL. On the other side, I would have a hard time dealing w/ extreme heat during our winters.

None here either, but I took some precautions and stayed up late moving boiling water out to some strategically placed buckets in the garden.

False alarm last night. Snow turned to rain so no snow accumulation since I am close to lake. Mike is out plowing by him - 30 miles north -he got over 12 inches during the night.
It's just starting to snow big so we should get 2-4 inches.
Joan, I see you are at 8* f so, that will be here tomorrow... low of 0 f supposedly.
I got sneezels & fever & chills ...I think I have a flu.

Yesterday was cool, with a high of 58 F. By 9pm the temperature had dropped to 36 F but then slowly began rising (!) to reach 42 F at sunrise this morning. It is currently 80 F at 11am, go figure.

27F here this morning, with heavy frost again (9th day of frost in the last 3.5 weeks).

A mile down the road they had sprinklers running on some young alfalfa when I drove by at 4pm. When I drove by this morning at 7:30am the sprinklers were off and the ice was piled high. Unusual to see that around here.

Seems like we've been getting a couple of inches of rain every week. We got over 2 inches early last week and just got ANOTHER 5 inches from Friday night to Sunday morning. I've never seen the ground so wet this time of year, and it just keeps coming with no dry-out in between the storms.

35-40 Centigrade with 35 kph winds, 25% humidity, and it's cloudy but refuses to rain even an eensy bit. I miss the jungle.

Any pics of your desert, Beth? I'd be very interested in seeing it... on a picture, off course.
