Crazy Weather

[Bether6074]

Well, here I am living in upstate NY and it's supposed to be 60 degrees out tomorrow! We had absolutely NO snow in all of December, which is basically unheard of. NYC had no snow in Dec. for the first time since something like 1887 and NJ had its warmest average temperatures since they've been keeping records. Anyone else out ther having extremely unusual weather for this time of year or just us folks in the great northeast?

This aint right!!!

Id actualy trade weather with all those gettin snowed in out west.

This warm weather isnt doing my fields any good. Since things wont dry out, everything is just mud. An I was sweating during the December PA Deer season. Sweating In December outside sittin on my ass on a moutain, in the woods, with the wind blowing!!!

I want my 5, 6, 7, an up to 14 ft snow drifts back, along with my 30 below days to Dang it.

I'd be happy to send it your way Mitchell. We still have about a foot of snow on the ground and it's going to snow again tonight and all day tomorrow. That is just not normal, it is suppose to be dry this time of year, all this snow should come in March and April when it's warm so the snow melts rather than piles up like it doing. The cattle out on the plains to the east are dieing because they can't get food or water.

Here in the "cold" Nordic countries we also have had no snow in December and we're now in January and still no sight of the white stuff. I don't mind though. I hate the snow and cold.

Well... I booked a ski vacation several months ago for next month in northern Massachusetts and there's NO SNOW! *pout*

Sigh. Guess there's nothing I can do about it, but it's damned inconvenient!

[Bether6074]

Yes, very inconvenient.

Well, it's raining and about 60 degrees outside here in SW Ohio. And while it's warmer than it usually is for January, it's hardly unusual weather.

After all, I can remember going back to college in 1989 on the first Sunday in January (down in Cincinnati) when it was over 70 degrees and we ended up having a tornado warning that evening, which I spent in the basement of my dorm next to the washers and dryers. And another time, we had snowflakes in May while I was still in college there. But then Ohio's always had weird weather...

That's what's happening here in NY today. I think some of our spring bulbs have started to sprout, too. It's just weird. Mother Nature has a mind of her own, I suppose. Not much to be done about it.

T'Parm id gladdly take it off yer hands. This is getting ridiculous.

Ditto here obviously.

Their starting to run the Maple sap lines already here. Usualy that dont happen till the End of January. Personaly as damn warm as its been I have a hard time beleaving that the sap ever returned down to the lower trunks/roots of the trees. The ground hasnt even been froze yet.


Some farmers have started plowing their fields to. But I cant, way to many springs running through mine for that.

An I think it was something like 600 snow plow operators were layed off because of the lack of snow this winter. Not a very good thing. [/b]

Alas, in Blighty its just greyness and rain, typically British! Is Averil Park anywhere near to Hyde Park? I spent about 4 wks there over the summer, beautiful gorgeous place! xx

If you all want snow and cold, you're more than welcome to truck out here to North Dakota. Plenty of both to go around...

[Distracted]

No mountains, though. And I bought such a cute parka and ski pants. *pout*

[TParm]

You could always come to Colorado to go skiing, just watch out for the avalanches.

[Distracted]

Yeah, but I have a friend who lives not 30 minutes from the other resort we were going to, though, so it was gonna be a two-fer. I don't know anybody in Colorado. *she whines pitifully*
