Nature and Baseball

Looks like somebody got carried away with the chalk...

Not much more depressing than that.

It is winter isn't it???---

We are getting pouded with ice.There are two trees that are close to breaking onto portions of our house,and its not an if,but a when

messy weather indeed

That really sucks. I realize how lucky we are. It is in the upper 70s right now down here. Stay safe and warm.

I feel ya skipper!
Were getting hit pretty hard here too!
Drove home in the middle of an ice storm coming out of Oklahoma on Sunday. What usually takes 5 hours took about 9. Lost of big-rigs in the ditch and cars too. Everyone stay safe!

I feel so sorry for you guys. Lets see today 78 degrees and sunny. We got on the field at 3:50 and finished up bp around 7:00 pm. Tomorrow its supposed to cool off to around 77 degrees and then warm back up on Weds to around 78 again. Dang I hate it dont you!

April 6, 2007 “Snow”Game in Proctorville, OH (southern Ohio)

Turn on the sound.

It is the only way to know when the ball was hit. Called in the fourth/fifth?; cost us the division championship by one run; senior year.

Moved here from Mississippi- miss that deep-south weather….right about now.

Oh boy! Now you've done it, Coach May! I'll be thinking about you next year in August when it's 95 with humidity and 7 hurricanes on the way there and its 86 and pleasant here, buddy boy!

Texan.....now, that's funny.

Hey Coach, I was going to be quiet about our 80 degree forecast for today - it's never good to tempt the weather gods. Maybe we should also tell them that the high Saturday is supposed to be 48 so we don't start getting hate mail.

Yeah it will be 48 on Saturday and then probaly 28 next week. The high was actually 81 yesterday a record. Today they are saying 79-80 and tomorrow around the same. Im just going to enjoy it while it last. Come spring when we start the season it will probaly be freezing.

I went to get ice from the fridge door and I got pounded on my big toe. I guess it is winter.
82 and sunny and expected to be like this till May.
Bum, what do you call a 100 mph wind and rain storm on the pacific northwest coast. Apparently Not a hurricane.
How about an new england nor'easter.
No names for those either.
Prayers for all those ice covered folks in the plains states.

So that's what winter looks like! We were pretty cold during the weekend game. Must have got down into the 50s.

Coachric, you got me on that one but actually I'm in Eastern Washington on the Idaho border. On this side of the mountains we actually get very little rain and only rarely a windstorm. Cooler in the Winter, yes, but sunnier and drier overall. In fact, look it up, Orlando gets 4x as much rain as Spokane! Hee Haw!

(..and Vegas is closer.)

Bum, your area is one I want to rv to in the near future. I hear its quite beautiful. On the good with the bad note, we do get rain, but generally it all comes in a 4 month period. We've had winters here with no rain for 7 months. Though it gets dry on the ground, can't beat the weather.
There is something magical about winter that I remember when I lived in new england, it was the dream of looking out the window on a winter day in orlando at the golf course in 80 degree weather.
I love the snow in postcards.

Well, Bum, if you're going to count hurricanes as "rain"

Coach, I'm tired of this 80+ weather.

It's Christmas.

I want to wear a sweater...

The way it should be....

Nice photo, TD. We had a bit of snow today, too. But it melted when it hit the ground.

Power is still out at our school. Day 3 of cancelled classes. Basketball games all canceled, wrestlers sitting around getting fat (glad I'm not coaching them anymore), and Mrs. Skipper has worked me to the ground... I gotta get back to work so I can rest up...

What do they call the time between the end of fall ball and the spring season? Basketball season. It's 72 in the gym. Works for me.

Thats Funny!

Coachric.. I hope you can RV up in the Northwest. You'd have a blast. Used to live in Key West many moons ago, so Florida is familiar. I had a Bug Volkswagen that actually floated away during one storm. That was cool.

When you get the rig fired up, here's some "must do" NW spots you might have never heard of:

*Glacier National Park and Whitefish, MT. Go soon, it's melting.
*Hoh National Rain Forest. Eerie and one-of-a-kind.
*Hurricane Ridge at Olympic National Park. Wow!
*Banks Lake near Grand Coulee. RVing paradise in the desert!
*Winthrop. Western-theme town in a gorgeous area.
*Stehekin on Lake Chelan. Look this one up on a map for fun! There are no roads to the town and the only way to get there is on a 4-hour ferry boat ride. Chelan hot vacation spot.

Hope you have fun!
