Oh I know this is going to upset my friends in the rest of the country. And blah, blah, blah....we all love the change of seasons. But let's face it, heavy snow makes for a hard day.

I woke up today to the news that the Metrodome roof has collapsed. And Minnesota is no stranger to heavy snow. My in-laws live in St. Louis and they are expecting a high of 19° today. A HIGH of 19°. Yikes....too much for me.

Although I still have some shopping to do...and I'd love to be able to put on a turtle neck and scarf...but it's going to be 85° and definitely a t-shirt day. Ho Ho Ho!

Sorry folks....but you love seeing this weather at the Rose Parade!

I use to live just down the street from Mission Viejo. We're not as warm here in Pinehurst, NC, but warmer than much of the nation. I miss the California Christmas weather! But I love the relaxed, no traffic hustle bustle of Pinehurst.

Ah, you so mean Karen(LOL), up here in canada its freezing. Today we are getting ready for a major snow storm. Instead of selling real estate I am going to have to get prepare for the weather, that reminds me I need Salt, and not for my steak on the barbaque.

There's beauty to be found on both coasts and everything in between...the smell of the ocean, the sound of the wind in the pines and the lack of sound with a new snowfall!  Enjoy the day Karen.

Ho Ho Ho is right. I left Minnesota for good on December 12, 1987 just after attending a Viking/Bears game in the metrodome. Glad I'm not there today.

Ah come on Barbara....you get the humidity in summer and we normally are in the upper 80s in summer. Which is perfect pool weather. In fact...might do some pool floating this afternoon :D

Oh snap!!!   :)  He, he, he. 

Heavy "Santa-flakes" are adding an extra bit of Merry to Christmas here in the Midwest . . . but 85 degree t-shirt weather for Christmas shopping doesn't sound bad at all.  Not . . . at . . . all.

I'm certainly not complaining about the wonderful weather we have in Los Angeles.  I can't imagine shoveling snow- it might be pretty but...

Lucky you.  Atlanta is not supposed to barely be above the freezing level for a few days.  We've dipped into the teens already

Ha Ha, I started to leave my house at noon to show property. I quickly went back indoors to trade my sweater for a very light short sleeved blouse. It was WARM today ... woo hoo!

I am ealous.  I would love to go Christmas shopping in warm weather.  Having lived in New England all my life, I really could now do without snow & cold.  I like cool, crisp fall-like weather.  Although today we are balmy in the 50's with rain...at least it is not snow!
