I'm glad you're okay, George.

I found Cambium's paradise, but maybe not enough snow?

Grateful to live in an area where tornadoes are extremely, EXTREMELY rare.

Glad everyone in your family is okay, CG

Thanks for thinking of me. It's not bad but no way "paradise" for me.

Avg Max temps are only a few degrees lower then mine now so too warm especially in Summer
The lows are friggin awesome though.
Precip not bad maybe not enough for winter for snow.
Snow amount is not enough.. I got over 5 feet past few yrs and it was nothing considering the fast melting at times
Elevation is sweet!
Population is amazing!
Frost days is perfect!

I have to figure out if I like warm days and cold nights or just get rid of the warm days all together.

(no I don't need to have a garden. lol) but I do like a little warmth in Spring as a break from winter.

Maybe a long winter, short spring , no summer, right to a short Fall and back to winter.

Oh crap, here they come. My sister woke up to Lightning and Thunder this morning. (6am)

Pouring in Vermont. NYC (LaGuardia) 79° at 6am! I'm at 66°. So nice to be far enough away.

Will feel like his today...

I prefer snowstorms or no storms!! Nobody needs severe storms. Nobody.

I dealt with enough damage and injuries in the past, I never will root for storms to happen and I'm sure we all need the power to stay on in the summer for fresh food in fridge or A/C.

Come on Marine Layer! Come on down front! Man I love Canada.



WRF Simulated radar for this afternoon. I lot of wind damage today with the storms!
