Steve-O, I just got back from Illinois, and I am so glad to be back. The -19 and all the snow we had(I was west of you) is not for me anymore. Enjoy your winter

I have to say, we win, you lose. My wife just went back to Pennsylvania last week to visit her sister, came back and said there is no way she could move back, because the weather is so intolerable.
Sunny Alamogordo does sound awfully good. We may have bragging rights as far as below temperatures. We had 13 days in Jan. 2008 0f sub zero temps. We had -30 deg.
temperatures the last part of Jan. then up to +30 and back down to -13. In 1966 Tower MN, which is in the north, recorded a temp. of -60. I guess looking at that temp.-30
doesn't seem all that bad, but anything below zero is frrrigid. It's the type of bragging rights you really don't want. ElPaso,L.C. looks very good to me. laplander

Is this your last winter in the frozen north? We have 2 more till my wife retires then it's off to Alamogordo for the winters anyway.
I don't have anything negative to say about Chicago either. I think it is a great city. I would not do well if I had to face a Chicago winter. I know that the summers are glorious. However, the winters are too long, too frigid, and too gray--for me. I know, "Life isn't all about weather," but it is a huge issue for me. I've chosen ABQ because the weather is great, and I love the city. I've had enough of midwestern winters for a lifetime. Ohio weather in the winter: snow, bitter cold, warm, sleet, slush, mud, rain, gray, windy, humid, ice, muddy ice, muddy slush. Two days ago, it was ice. I should have worn ice skates. Yesterday, it was muddy slush and ice. Today it is gray and mud.

Chilegal, Please don't tell me that, I got to go to Patoka, IL. For a pipeline job in a few weeks. I guess it will be time to break out the artic carharghts.
Ow well at least we get to go to Timberon for a week before I have to leave. Are you all back there now??
Hi Pup friendly,im retired, but my wife wants to work part time one more year. We have a house to sell, that may be difficult,with the market the way it is. I hoped for one more winter, but we will have to wait and see. We will be in El Paso this summer. laplander

I'm in about the same boat as you are Laplander. I am retired but my wife has until 2010 before she can retire. Seems every winter is harder now that we are so close to being able to get out of here. Good luck on selling your house and I hope your trip to El Paso is a good one. Pupfriendly
