So funny story from this morning...

I forgot to turn off the sprinklers to water my lawn and they went off at 7:00 AM. It was soo cold out here (31 degrees) that it froze the water on my walkway. My son and I practiced passing a hockey puck back and forth from my front door all the way down to the street!

I know that you mid west and east coast (and canadians) will find it amusing but it was a nice change for us here in northern california.

Cheers

Mark

My home town is in Northern Minnesota. The kids flood the back yard every winter to play hockey.

Actually it's not that bad in Seattle, I love when it snows.
After first day most ppl realize that all wheel drive doesn't help you to stop and stay home, and the roads are empty..
BTW my Boxster did great in about 2 inches of snow, I was able to get to work and back!

PS: Weatherman! where is the snow?, we were promised 10 inches tonight

La Nina weather patterns always make a mess of the year's weather. We'll have what happens and simply deal with it. Hakuna matata.

Just read in the Yahoo news that Seattle is under Snowmaggedon. Most public roads and school are closed.

And on the other side of the news, the weatherman says we are going to expect a shower today but it's so sunny outside although it's in high 40's, low 50's
