i am fortunate that i live near the foothills of the rocky mountains. the weather here is clement compared one way or another. very rare tornados, no floods, although it snows here it doesn't last long, it either blows off the streets or melts. occasionally a cold snap, but not as bad as other parts of the country experience. gets warm enough in the summer that shade in this arid climate is cooling and we can sleep at night because it cools after the sun goes down. occasional rain, but not months of it. what more can i say ? i was fortunate enough to be born and raised here and am glad to return here when i have been away. don't ask - i won't tell - it's a secret that onle a couple of million know.

It's cold. It's very cold. It's too damned cold! Okay, it's true that this winter had been mostly very mild until about eight or ten days ago... and it is also true that for the past four years I've been going around saying that after having lived in upstate New York for about a million years, these Rhode Island winters didn't seem that bad to me... But this single digit and zero degree weather combined with strong winds that keep bringing the wind chill factor down to minus twenty and minus thirty and even colder... well, all I can say is that it really is cold!

Here in Texas, it is just too hot and too dry (ie. drought). Our "winter" has consisted of about 3 days of sub 60 degree weather. I could use some real cold weather for a change, maybe some snow...

Just read an article that stated that due to a condition in the ocean about oscillation something or another, that Texas can expect horrible droughts for the next ten to twenty years, with mild mild winters. sigh. colorado sounds nice.
