OK, more than a year later and this thread is applicable again. It's 17 degrees right now. How is it where you are? If anyone posts any temperature over 70 degrees, I'm gonna brain ya! My toes are cold! Darn, Tommy, you need to come visit ol' Bear here deep in the Redwood Forest of extreme Northern California. Right now, at 0800, it is 54 degrees outside my bearcave just blocks from the Pacific Ocean. The lowest temperature ever recorded around here - ever, for any date - was 17 degrees. (Scanning the BluePride breakroom...) um, maybe we can find a place for you to snuggle and put yur toesies to keep 'em warm! Bear _________________

Carroll is being polite, but I will risk being brained...It was only a high of 74 today. It really drops down at night though into the lower 50's. In a few days after the cold front comes through, they are talking about highs around 60! We have our moments though, we get 4 or 5 nights of temperature in 30's at night each year.

It sure felt really cold last night at work. The temp was 18. The scary thing is that was 20 degrees warmer than when I worked the night before last. Wind chills were about -20 to -30 that night. Just being outside for more than a few seconds actually hurt any part of your body that wasnt covered. And even some covered parts started to hurt or get numb after a couple of minutes. It was bad cause at the start of that shift we were hunting down some young car burglars and I "had to" get out of the car and try to track them down on foot. When they got caught, I wasn't as happy about that as I was to hear that someone had a squad car nearby I could hop into to warm up.

You know that thing about Karma? A few postings back I was semi-bragging about our nice moderate weather down here. Well that obviously changed for us as well as over half the nation. But to top it off, a class I have been hoping to get approval for in New York City, IN JUNE, got approved for this March 15th. I'm thrilled to get to go to the class. BUT MARCH? IN NEW YORK? Karma is coming back to haunt me! At least we are gonna get back to the low 70's later this week.

Hey BluePriders, Gee, looking back over the "Baby it's Cold Outside" thread, I see this is not the first time it has been cold enough to shrivel the gonads clear to the throat in the South. Oooops... can I say that? SOOO... you folks down Florida way better be warmin' it up coz I'm gonna be there for over a week, starting next Friday. I'm going on a cruise out of Miami with 3700 "gentlemen of quality" on board (GASP!) Okay. I have received some Private Messages from you good BluePride folks inquiring about my well being following the recent big earthquake here in northern California. I've responded to them but decided to share my response with all of you as well.. ...it was an unusual quake for California. Ours are generally the "rolling" kind. This one was apparently a severe JOLT... or two, three, depending upon where one was. Oddly, I was on line with my friend Jeff who lives just over the border in Oregon, about 20 miles north of me. Jeff typed... "DID YOU FEEL THAT?" Uh, no... feel what? Truly, I hadn't felt a thing. I have no idea why. However, where I live in the deep forest near the ocean, it is loose soil, much of it sandy, which tends to "liquefy" in a quake and act more like jello or a mushy sponge. Where the soil is more solid or rock, the jolt is much more severe. ANYway, in Eureka, 100 miles south of me nearest the epicenter, malls are closed and every business with large windows lost them. Shelved merchandise is on the floor... as are pictures, dishes, anything on shelves in homes. There's a LOT of damage but very little actual building failure from collapse. Except... there are many beautiful OLD Victorian structures in Eureka. Many old post-and-pier constructed homes have bounced off their foundations. It's sad. Still, I am fine. I had the fleeting thought that maybe my land here in the forest a few blocks from the ocean might be oceanfront property soon, LOL!!! Bear ____________________

With all of the snow we've been getting in the east, I'm getting a case of cabin fever. I'm going out to play in the snow!

Yeah, what is it with those Florida snow bunnies? Here on the left coast, deep in the forest of extreme northern California (latitude slightly north of NYC,) we KNOW what snow is!! In fact, it even snowed here once (a dusting in the 1960s.) This morning, right now at 7:30 AM, it is 55 degrees (and raining.) Darned Florida snow bunnies don't know what COLD is! ;D That Rascally ol' Bear ___________________________

Bear, I will never understand why people who live in Florida say It's cold when It's 50 degrees!!!! True, we do have some cold snaps ( in fact, cold weather ruined George and Anthony's vacation) Still, we don't have snow, sleet, frozen pipes, and five hundred dollar oil bills. We don't have five months of nonstop cold weather. We don't have to take time to warm up our cars before we get into them. I'll take the cooler weather in Florida any day over cold winter weather. They need to stop complaining

They need to stop complaining (Bear hands dear Carroll a cookie...) Well, I LOVE the rain here in the forest. It makes my skin so supple. Nobody believes I'm 140! But, we do need to help Tommy. Perhaps you could send him an orange? ;D Bear ___________________
