I heard that!

This winter, our fifth on the road, has been a pain in the rear. In the first four winters, we were stopped just twice by snow. This year the weather stopped us five times.

The stops include a snow squall on I-40 near Flagstaff, AZ, traffic stopped on ice at Homestake Pass in Montana, a sleet storm that grounded us for a day in Newburgh, NY, ice at Vale Pass in Colorado, and blizzard conditions in Minnesota. Additionally, there have been a bunch of snow, rain or "wintery mix" events that have delivered a number of no-fun day and overnight trips this year.

I joke that for people who were raised up North, every winter day down south is a bonus, and for people who were raised down South, every winter day up north is a penalty. This year, from November to March, we have only been in shirt-sleeve weather a couple times, and then only for a half day or day before the freight takes us north again.

Spring cannot come soon enough.

Yep, that's what we've had. Woke up to 10 on Monday. Tues we topped out at 75 but before the night was over it was 30.

We've been lucky this year, we've missed most of the storms. Either came through just before or just after. Now we're sitting in Sunny Rockwall, TX and the temperature is perfect. I just hope we aren't here for the "time change"

So much for global warming

Bah, you folks living south of the American /Canadian border don't know what a *real* winter is truly like.

Agreed!

And you are welcome to have every bit of Winter to which the northern tier is subjected. Help yourself to every snowflake and the sub zero temps!

I don't even go to Michigan until April.

I'm sick of the time changes, not to mention it's very costly to be on DST. We should leave it alone or at most turn the clocks forward 30 minutes and be done with it forever.

Forgot to add BAH, HUMBUG!
