it is going to get down to 28 here tonight, we may not make it outside tomorrow! we had ice on the ground this morning, big deal for us, 1 inch of snow and the town shuts down, in 1989 schools were closed for like 3 days!
That is pretty cold for Florida!
It gets that cold fairly often here but it doesn't snow much and when it does the same thing happens. "The worst inch of snow EVER!!" -Lewis Black. It likes instead to be 36 and raining ALL winter, which is frankly more miserable than snow.
I think about moving some times. Then I realize that right before I turn into work this morning, there is Mt. Hood rising 10,000 feet above the surrounding hills, silloueted by red clouds in the sunrise ("sailor take warning" indeed, work is just west of the Columbia River Gorge and it's blowing like snot even here).
A member of our fleet got his 17 last year and wanted to try it out - in December. They should've taken pictures. The snow level was a mere 500 feet above them on the surrounding hills, brrrrr!
