Those picture sure do make it look like it is cold up there. In fact, it is cold down here in the deep south too. I had to turn my heater on this morning for about an hour. Should be a high of 68 here by Friday.

MAN, 68 DEGREES SOUNDS AWESOME--LOOKING FOWARD TO 40 DEGREES--WE'VE HAD OUR WOODSTOVE GOING 24-7 SINCE THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER- BEER AND BRANDY STOCK RUNNING LOW, HOPEFULLY SPRING IS CLOSE-----HH

Digging440,

Look at it this way, the cold, crisp, mountain air that we breath here in the North Country make us a stronger, heartier breed of individuals. I don't like being cold for 5-6 months of the year, but it does keep out the riffraff. Spring is just around the corner, just hope she doesn't get lost. Have a great day with your son, he too benefits from life in the North.

So we are riffraff here in the south?

New York winters suck? Wow, there's a news flash. You're all being punished for the beautiful Fall foliage and the fantastic Spring and Summer weather you have while we sit here in Texas with no rain, sweating our you know whats off, and cultivating cactus plants and pepper bushes...

Always nice to get out of the house unless it is to snowblow the driveway.
A day spent with a kid is a day well spent for both of you.
Congrats on braving the cold!

I apologize for what I said about riffraff, and should qualified it by meaning the tourists that travel through Vt., see the beautiful mountains, and the next thing you know the buy all the land around you. Next they want paved roads, street lights, mass transit, and want the farmers to cease operation due to the small of the cows, I am not exaggerating as this is going on right around me with new neighbors. Understand, they have the right to the same things that I have, but not the right to change everything to what they had elsewhere!

Again nothing disparaging was meant against our southern brothers. Hope you understand better now where I was coming from with my comment.

I fully understand your comment now. Ya'll do have some beautiful country side up that way, no doubt. Maybe some of the best that I've seen up north.

@ GMD52, that same thing actually happened to Florida. That is why I am now living in Ga now. It has grown so large all the small cities are now just 1 in Orlando area. I went and visited my parents last yr and got lost cause I didnt know where I was. It was terrible.
