Sorry about the s***. Right now I am watching a beautiful sunrise, with clear blue sky.

I can remember the sn**, when I lived in Albuquerque, NM. When I was in the 3 rd grade, it sn**ed 3 feet. It was very hard walking around as I recall. That was a record, snow fall,that year.

The last time I was in sn**, was when I was in the Navy, at Great Lakes Naval Station, Illi. I was at school, getting ready for Operation Desert Storm. Saw a few flakes land on my hand and said to myself time to go back to San Diego. Enough of this cold stuff.

Smart man, you. (no offense intended to all freepers who continue to live in the snow). :)

I grew up in snow in Kansas - no thank you - no more.

It’s very cool here this morning. In the 30’s, and I noticed there was a 5.1 eQuake in Ludlow CA overnight. Not sure where that is, but not near me. I think it’s out by Barstow.

My daughter is flying in the 24th from Michigan. Hope she doesn’t get caught in airport closures due to snow/ice.

Thanks for the fresh start and cyber b-fast today Lysie & Molly.

lol, my son had the opposite experience; my northern boy spent pre-mob in Mississippi and then lived in the desert for a year. The day after he came home it snowed and he sat outside, loving every minute.

p.s. Our nephew was in the Navy for 8 years..........did some time at Great Lakes.

We were at Great Lakes 8 yrs ago...in December--(old times sake, my husband did 'basic' there)...

..Those poor recruits were drilling in knee deep snow...thank goodness for those pea coats!...It never got above 20 degrees for the whole week.
