More Pix For A Laugh

[W8taminute]

There is something to be said however for living in extreme cold and snow areas.  Today when I was snowblowing my driveway it was 14 degrees out.  I felt like a Panzergrenediere on the Eastern Front fighting both the enemy and the elements.   ;D

^Silly people, there's plenty of room here in Arizona  8)

talk to us in August

I've lived in hot and I've lived in cold. I'll take hot.

Seriously, even after living in Alaska for six years, living through three F-4 or better tornadoes in Oklahoma, and being in a tornado with rain coming down in sheets in Florida, the worst weather I ever experienced driving was leaving Flagstaff, Arizona in March heading west towards California and running into a surprise blizzard coming down the mountain. That was probably the most scared I've ever been driving. The suckage was enormously bad.

most retire either there or here.  :-\

14? Thats nice. Our high today was 9. For about 20min.

^We must have had a heat wave then.   :D

That's pretty cold there mirth!

I can handle a few weeks every year of this shit much better than the heat and humidity. And please don't tell me about the 'dry heat'. It's a dry heat in Hell. You still sweat your balls off.

thats why I dont wear pants.

Nice try, but we know better than that.

I like Arizona, even in the summer. My wife's dad lives out there and we visit once or twice a year. I'm not stupid enough to stay out in the sun when it's 120 degrees outside, even if it doesn't feel like it in August. It's hard to go swimming without some kind of overhead cover, even, and sidewalks/roads are like hot plates. Compared to Houston, though, where we're swimming in humidity 98% of the year, Arizona's dry 120 is much more preferable to Houston's sticky 90.

Exactly! I'm a native Houstonian and you couldn't pay me enough to live there again. Compared to Houston's weather, Arizona is heaven. Not to mention the lack of allergens. If you don't have an outdoor job, Arizona is great.

;D Haha! When I was in High school in Michigan and walking 1.5 miles home in the dead of winter, I'd pretend I was a German soldier on the Eastern Front carrying the barrel of an MG34 (my heavy book bag)

Give me snow up to my waist, the cozy glow of Orange and yellow from the house windows, a real fire and a glass of single malt when I'm done anytime over Sun and heat and sweat

[Staggerwing]

Just one glass?  ;)

I have to concur about liking the cold better than the heat. I spend the hottest parts of the Summer feeling like I have the flu.

I wouldn't mind living somewhere where it snows. Of course, that comes from growing up in N. VA and having good memories of five-foot blizzards that catered well to fifth-grader adventures.
