| Yea for you, Sandy! You guys deserve a break. I did hear at some point that a strong El Nino year usually means drier and warmer for the midwest. Hope that includes me. I don't mind some snow for garden cover but when it doesn't melt for months it gets a little discouraging. Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb |

| Ah, good, a forecast for a wet winter. Ahhh. We only got a trace of rain last night but it rained so hard in Anaheim that they had to cancel the baseball game. That was the first time in 20 years that a game was rained out in Anaheim. This morning at 7AM it was 71F and 90% humidity. The air feels heavy and I'm hot when I shouldn't be. They are calling for a high of 80F. It is partly cloudy. There is a 20% chance of rain today, which is pretty much a 0% chance. I guess I shouldn't be hoggish. We've already got a record for the month of July. |

| Cindy - did you happen to see the report on the winter's snow in Boston earlier this month? The very last of the snow melted in early July! Cheryl - just for you:  These chairs would feel fantastic today!The prints are from the resident bunny. |

| pirl - I did see that the last of the Boston snow finally melted. That was one huge pile of snow. I found it hard to conceive how people could function with that much snow on city streets. Winter before last was a big snow year for us but at least we have room to pile snow here.

| Cheryl - did they have a snow machine? That would be enticing in TX heat. Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb |

| Not sure how they got the "snow " there. I think an investment in a snow machine over a pool sounds way more feasible! And kinda fun, too. Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love Truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you Smile. |

flaflwrgrl said: From the blog post at the link.... Region 7) This is the zone that you’re going to want to be under if you prefer a variety of wintry weather, however there are some uncertainties that I’ll need to explain. During the majority of most moderate to strong El Niños, the southern jet stream (the sub-tropical jet) becomes much more active and transports more moisture into Texas and eastward into the Southeast/along parts of the East Coast. The big wildcard usually becomes how much cold, Arctic air will be available. Northwest Georgia Daylily Society I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do that second week.

Did you see all the garbage and "stuff" that was left after that snow melted?? I think they had considered dumping the snow in the harbor at one point (they do that where I live) -- thank goodness they didn't do so!

| I did see all of the trash left behind after the snow melted. Guess that's one way of cleaning the street. Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb |

| I missed the leftover garbage! I'm sure it was bound to happen with garbage cans lost under the snow. |
