Not to rub it in or anything, but January 23rd, and it's the first full day I felt I needed to wear a long sleeve shirt.
I think New England got "our" winter, and then some!

Stay safe everyone.

December was the warmest month ever in New England. This is the first decent snowstorm we've gotten this winter. We got around 8 inches here in N. Scituate, which is a joke to us New Englanders. The roads will be bare by noon tomorrow and life goes on. Of course, metal detecting will be a little tough right now!

Kind of reminded me of northerners coming to a halt in their cars on I-95 during a typical daily tropical storm in south Florida. They're the ones pulled under the bridges while the rest of us turned our wipers on high and kept going.

Stronger? Takes more strength to fight a 400 pound Marlin than a 1600 pound cow.

If your speaking of snow, southerners just say "if it's that bad, why do they stay there?".

There's plenty of sunshine to go around for everyone.:laughing7:

Hmm...don't know about that. I was in Bar Harbor, Maine when it was so humid with mist, the tree's literally dripped water like rain. Clothing was soaken wet 10 minutes after walking outside.

No it takes more of a man or woman to stay in the cold & snow for the winter season than to fight a marlin for a few minutes or hours..

They can't handle fire ants, skeeters, gnats, and red bugs!! I had some yankee neighbor's for 11 years next door up until last year when he was able to retire, and they sold out and moved back to meechigan. Everytime they got out in the yard to do yardwork, they each used an entire spray can of bug repellent!!

I didn't think this snow was that bad. I got 26" but it was more powder then wet.
Already making plans for which beach I'm hitting after work tomorrow.

Well no snow here, not even in the local mountains, melted away 2 days latter, big bear ca, has snow (they make it themselves).
About 68 degrees today.8-) Low tide around 4pm, -.7, I think.
Only get 10" rain a year if your lucky, but let it start drizzling and all hell breaks out on the roads.
I got to be the only one in southern-southern CA ( that's south of L.A.) who knows how to drive in the rain or snow. I'm also the only person who replaces wiper blades every year whether I used them or not.
