• I cannot even imagine -38 degrees! If we get into the 30s or 20s I am in heavy coats and gloves. It was 74 degrees here today, and muggy…but I'm not complaining about anything!

    And Australia (Queensland) has been hit with a Cat. 5 cyclone, after the floods they are just getting over. Global climate change...fact or myth????
    Stay warm and safe, everyone!


  • The weather here is terrible too, 70 and sunny. Saturday is going to be really bad at 75 and sunny.

    But that's why a 760 sq ft house goes for $460,000! Gas is almost $4/gal.

    Dan, I am so sorry about your inclement weather forecast….not!!


  • @agilebasenji:

    if you have running water, you are ahead of me.

    and the feel-like index was -38 yesterday (according to the news person)

    I do not understand people who live where it gets that cold. I mean, come on. If you were sent to Siberia and locked in a prison cell, okay. But when I seen northerly US and Canadians living in 20 to 50 below zero, all I can think is MOVE, MOVE NOW. Holy cow.

    LOL on "what my life has come to." Cara is okay with cold but wet… I can either GO WITH HER AND CHASE OFF THE SIDEWALK/PORCH/STONES or go out and clean poop off them because she will NOT put her feet in the grass if she can help it. I have suffered almost a month with back/neck disk pain (doctor put me on steroids yesterday for 6 days.. amazing difference), and had flu for 2 wks mid Dec so I have spent a lot of time scraping off poop when I could hobble down the stairs and go clean. Sigh. And I love every hair on her bratty body.


  • Its been a fairly steady and amazingly warm winter this year. it's been in the low 20's this week. Its not too bad, but the wind, especially yesterday with the huge blizzard that blew over and dropped a good two foot, that gets Zumi a little iffy about going outside. He's pretty good about doing his business quickly, though if he does the lame little chihuahua leg lifting and whining i have to lead him to a spot and demand he potty, and lots of praise and warm kitties to cuddle with back inside. My poor long-hair has become his personal heating pad. 🙂

    I would not trade this weather for the world. i love the snow, and the cold. not much of a heat person to be honest. anything above 65 is a bit too warm for me, lol

    well, those temps are rather abnormal and we were in the 60s on saturday and 50's projected for this weekend, so it's not really too bad. i now have a little running water; hopefully the pipes will finish thawing today.


  • OMG! That is so cold!!


  • Hey lysh, hows the hurricane?


  • These stories crack me up because I can completely relate - bitter cold winters and a horrid wind to boot here in Wyoming! I have to carry Pokey out when it is cold, snowy or rainy. And then, he shakes his feet like a cat. It took awhile to get him to do his business when unpleasant outside!


  • Rain, rain and more rain! Is anyone else in the Midwest and Midsouth tired of the rain and storms? It looks like my area will be setting a record for the most rain ever for the month of April. I have had ponds at the back of my yard and they were the largest ever as it takes forever for the water to drain. Later today, another 1 1/2" of rain is due.

    The good news is that Friday and Saturday there will be no rain. This will be the first time since April 5 and 6 that we have had two days together with no rain. At least it has been warm and not cold as I hate cold rain. I will be thankful when April is over!
