Tough Living In The South

[SEEGERMANY]

Wednesday - Low Temp 28 degrees, High Temp 50 degrees

Tomorrow's forecast - Low Temp 63 degrees, High Temp 83 degrees

Freeze your ass off one day, burn up the next. Even though we have pretty radical temp variations, I guess it's better than being ass deep in ice and snow. What's it like in your neck of the woods?

[Freyr]

Hovering around 0, lows kicking around -7. Don't even ask about windchill

[Madness]

Just got a foot of snow over the last couple of days. Temp is hovering around 20F. We have the same type of temperature shifts here in Vermont...especially during the spring and fall.

Its about 50 out now, but it stays pretty much that way all winter. We just went through a couple of storms that shut down most of the roads between I-5 and Highway 101, but they have all but one back open now.

Our temps stay between 50 to 70 pretty much year round, with some dips as low as 28 for a day or two, and some highs of about 100 for a few days of the summer. Except for the monsoon season, I like the weather here. At least I don't have to shovel rain.

In the last 15 years, it has snowed twice here, and both times it melted the same day. But I do like nasty storms, and the coast gets some good ones. Just keep the generator full, and have lots of propane, batteries and candles on hand. The wife stocks the pantry and deep freeze like we are getting ready for a nuclear war, so that is taken care of.

Edit: I see that you live in Bossier City. I almost took a job with VIP boats, just north of you, back in '89. The wife and I decided to drive down and check out the area first, and I am glad we did. The damn crickets outside the hotel sounded like they were warming up chainsaws...lol! I turned down the job (running the electrical/motors dept) when I saw that they were building the harnesses out in the parking lot, and red seemed to be the favorite (and about the only) wiring color for the hot leads. :ROTF:

The engine harness was the only wiring that met USCG specs, and that was only because they bought them pre-made. I bet trouble shooting the wiring was a real blast.

No thanks. Still, it was very nice down there. The trip was fun, and we knew we were getting close when the store clerks went from saying 'You have a safe trip' to 'Y'all drive careful'.

Here is SoCal it's 62 with a low of 45.

You would think we were in the Arctic with the way people dress when it gets below 70 here. It was 68 and sunny yesterday and I saw thick jackets with scarfs and gloves on a few people.
