JD, I love it!

Diane, sounds like our "cup of tea." Or, yours to me to which I would then, switch the tea after I distracted you...

Hey Bob, seeing as how you have such lovely weather down there, you don't mind if I move in next door to you do you???

Here's one I got in an email today. Thought it was to cute. Had to share it with you.

It was 49 in South Jersey today.Felt like spring.

Good one, Jerry!

So, Jerry. Which category of that list you posted are you in today??

This afternoon I was here:

20 above Zero - People in Miami all die.
Michiganders close the windows.

Tonight, we're back here again:

Zero-3:
Californians fly away to Mexico .
People in Michigan get out their winter coats.

(Wind chill 10 below zero:
Hollywood disintegrates.
The Girl Scouts in Michigan are selling cookies door to door.

Man, is it EVER going to end?

Hehe, am I keeping the rest of you cold yet too?

I have a picture my mom painted of Nova Scotia that makes me feel cold when I look at it. Too many more of these 70 degree days in Febuary and I'll have to go look at it.

It's not as bad as it could be. But dang, I feel for you.

Keith, I really didn't need to hear that.

The kids had another snow day off of school today. It's gotten to the point where they're complaining about it. My youngest, last night, said "I don't want another snow day, I want to go to school". They know that at this point they have to make them up later.

No kidding Roy! Let's hex Keith's weather now too!

It's back down into the teens again during the day here and below zero at night with the wind chill. Heah!

It was -1 without the windchill last night.

Hoping for close to 50 this weekend.

(shivering in the car this morning...)

Ron Koval

and it's 1 degree this morning...burrrrrr

OK. 'Can't stand it any longer. In the thread title what the heck does "OT" stand for?

Open thread?
Over the top?
Old Top?
Overly temperamental?
Only Techs?

OT = Off Topic

That's when I get to jump in and cause trouble!

Thanks! 'Couldn't figure that one out at all.

'Long as it doesn't get OC (off color).

Should I change it to the "Official Wintertime Blues Thread"?
