Last year half a dozen people told me that it was supposed to snow a total of 13 feet during the winter. We only got two significant snowfalls and not much else. I always figure what comes comes. But this year I'm driving a Subaru!

Hey Phyl,
Sorry to hear fluffy stuff has hit, If I had my way I would sent some South Pacific Sunshine your way.
Hang in there, it's only a couple of months, well maybe a few more, till spring.

Com'on Guys,
As I said, at this time of year all I promise is South Pacific Sunshine, must be coming form your Northern Boarder.
Could be Donnalynn has started this one.
Keep warm, and if you have to wrap up, it does melt. SO I AM TOLD

I'm going to take Kiwi Don up on his offer!  ;D  I'll take southern hemisphere warmth right now over this....... and Donnalynn, as much as I luffs you, um.... I'll pass on the snow, although I do like the idea of the Beanie in stillettos during snow-covered areas.

Bob, saw the waves down your way on news reports! Have a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Subaru's, snow shovels, warm hats, ugh!!!  Ain't ready for it! Nope, not ready!  :(

I actually have a few ideas behind my (personal) theory....

the last summer has been the COOLEST summer for many years (I don't remember the exact number of years) and if the trend continues thu the winter.....brrr....

several volcano this past year... adding sulfur to the air ... (the anti- greenhouse gases)

sun spots are few in number... there has not been so few sun spots in 100 years.... and global temperatures seem to be lower when this happens... ( however, scientists dont really understand why)
