[Riktord]

The odd ball flash freeze of Texas proved... Entertaining.

I moved to NoGa from New freakin' Jersey 6 years ago ... partially to get away from the taxes ... partially to get away from the repressive diberal government ... but mostly to get away from the cold and snow.

After 54 years of it ... I had enough.


so anyoldways ... its only February, and already I've seen more snow then I'd care to in NoGa.

I actually had to shovel my sidewalk last month!!!!

I'm thinking about asking for my money back!

BTW ... the highlight of this winter was driving up to Maryland to pick up my (topless) Deuce ... and finding 2 feet of snow on the ground ... AND in the cab of the truck!!!!!

I'm blaming algore. Its all that global warming he started!!!

Actually I dislike cold - but it keeps me in the garage working on MV project more and with more intincity - cause when I am done I have to walk back to the house in the cold - so I stay longer.

The Bigger projects seem to get done - cause if the doors were open I would be day dreaming and headed out camping in at least one of them

Like thinking about heading out early to the GA 2011 Rally to see my friends.

All in all - good thing

Oddshot, you should have kept going south. No snow here in Florida and no state income tax....

Been a pretty cold winter here in South Louisiana this year, much like last year. No snow yet, but some sleet and freezing rain, and temperatures have dipped into the 20's several times so far. Gonna get to about 26 here tonight.

That being said, I don't mind it, it really isn't that cold compared to up North, and it kind of makes up for the absolutely brutal summers here.

I left Ohio to get a way from the cold weather and the cold x-wife, not sure which had more ice involved. I have been in Georgia for 10 years now, after this winter I am ready to learn Spanish and move to Florida.

Didn't know it could get that cold in Arkansas, but I see you are up near the Missouri line. Reckon you must be in the Ozarks?

Came to Arizona last fall to escape the "Winter In Montana" !! Boy did I get fooled. The winter here has been the "Coldest Winter Since 1910"!! Lots of wind also. I really don't know if there is a good place to do some "Snowbirding"!!

Hello from AZ. We have had a cool weather this year, we got down to 20 one morning and we have been cool for a longer periods this year. But the hot is coming as always. The Hot goes on way to long....

Y'all just be thankful I didn't.

I got a feelin' that cold, snow and taxes are gonna dog me the rest of my days.

If I had moved to Fla ... they just would have followed me like a good dog or a ugly girl friend.

Funny when I get laidoff, I go to my home in the U.P., usually lots of snow there.

The past two weeks have been miserable in Texas. We get sleet, which melts a bit and then it freezes making the roads more than hazardous. Deadly, in fact. Followed by five inches of snow which hid the ice until you hit it with your tires. Zowieeee!

Then the temp got down to 9 degrees one night.

The court house was closed for five days in two weeks. Yuk.

Fortunately, I had plenty of venison/pork/ jalapeño sausage, too much beer, lots of Cholula Sauce/ Cholula Chile Lime Sauce, Tobasco Chipolte Sauce, Mexican Dumplings and some other Gringo food to get me past the depression.

Just north of there, about 10 miles from MO or OK.

Our winter has been much snowier and colder than usual. But I don't care. I have my deuce.
