I'm not too thrilled about it. We have to drive through the Berkshires and down the Hudson to the Catskills...could be messy.

Down Philly/Baltimore way it is cold, but not yet snowing. There were very light flurries earlier, but nothing scary yet.
I madesure the stray cat is on the porch, moved my car, and alerted the Mexicans (Who have plows on their trucks), so I am ready for the worst.

I have AWD now (In addition to my ADD...Look! A squirrel!), but it is of little help when the car is six feet deep in a drift or the county DOT sadists have buried it for a laugh.

But it is helpful on the wimpy little hills where just a tiny bit of slush can hang up even the best good-ol-boys and their pickemup twucks.

NYC during a good snow storm ranks among my very favorite things. I remember the very last storm from last winter, playing chess with my neighbor while listening to Billy Holiday and getting sauced. A fond memory.

When it comes to dealing with heat, you're a better man than I am. Even with AC, I don't know how people who live in Florida and the surrounding states get through the summer. I actually bought a vacation house down in Georgia this summer. Damn is it hot. My wife says she wouldn't mind retiring there instead of Europe. If we did, I would probably die of a heart attack within a weak. Here's a pic from the back porch of a place that I doubt I shall see much of: Originally Posted by seanj
