Weather!

I'm in New Jersey with three feet of snow all around me, an ice storm that hit yesterday, ice dams in my gutters and I'm afraid to check the beach house for leaks from the snow on the roof decks.

God I hope they don't cancel baseball practice in Houston.

I guess with the super bowl this Sunday, the weather gods decided that both teams should play in the weather they are use to.

Not at all tooldforthis. Sunday at kickoff it will be 72 and beautiful with the roof closed. Actually, for anyone that's been to a game there with the roof and side doors closed, it will get hot and steamy in there. Dress in layers if you're lucky enough to go!

You mean the people in the "there's a fool born every minute" fraternity. That still floors me.

Tensions are at the breaking point here in H-town as the Artic blast inches closer and closer. Rolling blackouts.

Those rolling blackouts didn't work to well yesterday here in Dallas, what was supposed to be a 15 minute rolling black out turned into 8 hrs with no electricity at my home......brrrrr

I heard Colin Cowherd say on his radio show today that this was worse in Dallas/Ft. Worth than in Connecticut!

The sun was in my eyes and very bright as I drove home from work along PCH through Malibu if that's any consolation.

Welcome to the ice land of NJ. Were a 215 pound man can stand on top of 3 feet of snow and not break through.

More coming on Saturday!

It was in the 20's at our house this morning! I know, big deal compared to the rest of the nation right now, but that's COLD for us So Cal wimps! It did Heat up to a blistering 63 by the afternoon though!

4 separate storms of a foot+ of snow. 2 1/2 inches of ice yesterday. Haven't had above freezing temps since November, and last Sunday the wind chill was 24 below. Ahhh New York state at it's finest...we might not have the most talented baseball players in the country, but no one can question our mental toughness or dedication to the game!

I'll be enjoying that 72 degree Super Bowl from the couch next to the fireplace, probably after shoveling out more of the snow they're calling for this weekend.

In a dome? The roof will be closed.

Could you cut me a slice of air and forward it to me. I'm not being ignorant. I lived in CA (mostly LA ... Redondo Beach and Agoura Hills) for twenty-two years.

Skiing Sunday! New Years and Super Bowl Sunday are two of the best weekend ski days for short lift lines.

It has been cold... No need for SPF over 30 for todays scrimmage

A trip down Memory Lane...behind my snowblower!

And so long as she has her pipes warmed up...why not?




.

TV weather folks are having coniption fits.
1/2 to 2" of snow are forecast and people are being warned to cover their plants and for godsakes wrap their pipes.

Officials are reccomending that citizens hunker down and "shelter in place".

Baseball practice has not yet been canceled.

More as developments unfold...[/QUOTE]

Please keep us up to date, I had trouble sleeping last night wondering if everybody had time to cover thier plants, and my son thinks he has it bad in upstate New York.

I'm officially changing my middle name to Nanook.
