History Let it Snow,let it Snow, let it Snow

leave peeping, in the reflexion of a '58 caddy.

 

More so cooler weather, this is October 4th and the temperatures topped out at 89 degrees today, it's hotter than a 4 balled tom cat. HRP

 

Ummmm...... Sorry!...

 

UPDATE, HRP
Had some rain lately, today was only 86 degrees. Time to put the flip flops away and start wearing socks and tennis shoes.

 

THAT, is leaf peeping.

 

Bleh.....

 

Let it snow,. Etc, etc!

 

Went through all 5 pages of this 'Featured' thread.....didn't find much relating to traditional rods and customs...when did the HAMB become the alternative Weather Channel? You do see my point, don't you HRP?

 

The boss and I go to sunny Florida From November to April the only thing I miss is my shop and the grandkids NO SNOW

 

Are You Happy Now? Have not even had the Turkey yet! This morning from my front porch. Where is the stupid groundhog?

 

Looks Great from Here!

Ya it’s about that temperature here as well.

 

Mad mikey I know of what you speak.
My son and I ran a TAFC winter in Montana wasn't fun.

 

this morning......

 

last night very early, just starting:

 

We got 5 1/2" last night here in western Ma.

 

Man I hear ya about the cold. The other day it was 66 degrees when I got up. Had to put on long pants AND socks! WTF!

 

I can still remember the few years I spent in Saskatchewan, (yes it really exists). 10 months of winter, and 2 months of poor sledding. When I was in the RCAF and undergoing pilot training, part of it was in Saskatchewan. My roomie was a Saskatchewan native, and I used to tease the hell out of him every morning by throwing the curtains, look at the snowdrifts, and state that there wasn't a hill or a tree to spoil the beautiful view.
I had to go to work one morning when the temp was -44, but I was able to start my Corvette because it was plugged in. When I sat behind the wheel to drive it to work, the vinyl seat cover cracked all around the base. Man, I was choked!
One of the best sights in my life, was seeing Saskatchewan for the last time in my rear view mirror.
On Vancouver Island, on the wet coast, we get the winter rain and rare bit of wet sloppy crap called snow, but the summers are long, dry, and fantastic.

I think the "Guess Who" did a song about that place....

 

While I still enjoy the beauty of the snow and learned to tolerate the cold, a few trips down south to visit the Grandkids during the winter months helps.

 

Don't get me wrong, I Used To Love the snow( when I was a youth). Shoveling to earn a couple quarters and maybe some homemade cookies before spending the rest of time sledding, having snowball fights, skating, building snow forts, etc. Lived in UPstate N.Y. for most of my life before moving to Tenn. and then to Va. Do I miss it? Sometimes, but not enough to move back! Looks Great on postcards, Carp.

 

This sums it up for me:

 

Came down to Florida to visit Grandsons and Family. Up North this time of year we watch the color of the leaves change and then see the snow. This time of year down in Florida they watch the colors of the license plates change and then see the State flooded with Snow Birds.

 

Larry,
When I saw your post I just about blew coffee through my nose! Good ol' Lucy has summed it up perfectly for me!

 

Today, day after Thanksgiving and the Turkey is frozen!
