Are you traveling to a cooler climate? Clearly I haven't been paying attention.

[RMDupree]

Yup. Moving to Washington this summer, Sam. *grinning*

[JenB]

Wait... if all I need are cats, I can get those without half the hassle... heck I can get a cat this afternoon.

[Corin Stormhands]

Y'all are gonna need this until September...

[Rose in RoseBear]

Make sure you get a Maine Coon cat ... they're oversized, and very furry ...

[Corin Stormhands]

Hey Sam,

We got a little less than 2 inches of snow. I posted some pictures here.

West of here got more. My parents got about 5 inches and were getting a little more yesterday. But it's supposed to warm up this week.

I'll get a humidifier for the girls' room when I get up there, just to ease them into the change of climate.

Seems plently humid here to me :~D

It's so humid it's damp ;~D

[Sam Cree]

Those are pretty pictures, poetic, really. Does Junior still get excited when it snows? I confess that I do, even at my age. 'Course growing up in VA, we always got some snow, but never enought to satisfy us as kids. My daughter, who grew up in Miami, but went to college in upstate NY, allows as how she has had enough of it.

[Rose in RoseBear]

I think moving in the summer is wise ... lots of time to get into the rhythm of thenewplace.

[Corin Stormhands]

Jr. only cares about snow if 1) it means no school (it didn't) or 2) it means he can't see his girlfriend (it didn't).

[Corin Stormhands]

.... lots of time to get into the rhythm of thenewplace.

Let's try to keep this a family thread.

[Corin Stormhands]

Heh...Rush just said "Would you rather go hunting with Dick Cheney or riding in a car over a bridge with Ted Kennedy?"

[RMDupree]

I'd only use it if the heater dried out their noses, but you've brought up a good point.

Why not just toss them outside? :-D

[RMDupree]

LOL!

[Overtaxed]

I'd only use it if the heater dried out their noses, but you've brought up a good point.

I've got one little 2 qt. humidifier. I also put one of those plastic basins filled with water in front of the heat register in the bedroom. Of course The Cat likes to drink out of it.

[LSAggie]

A dab of A+D Ointment in each nostril every night will prevent nose bleeds during the day in this cold, dry weather. (You can probably find it next to the Butt Balm)

[RMDupree]

Of course The Cat likes to drink out of it.

So will Alyson, most likely. :-P

[RMDupree]

Really? I'll keep that in mind.

And it ~is~ next to the butt balm!

[Corin Stormhands]

Are you gonna move the hermit crabs?

My daughter, who grew up in Miami, but went to college in upstate NY, allows as how she has had enough of it.

GAK! In Syracuse I'm sure she did!

When we were looking at college info for Clare this past year, we check out Canisius College in Buffalo, NY. I thought it was hilarious that the buildings all over their campus are connected by underground walkways! That way, they never have to cancel classes because folks can't get to the buildings. After all, I think their total snow averages over 50' for the season! I don't even want to imagine that! Needless to say, Clare decided she didn't want that either. She's planning to attend school down your way, in Naples FL! She's finishing up her admissions package this week. The deadline is March 1st, so we hope to hear sometime in April.
