    I've been working in Montana and South Dakota, and with temperatures in northern SD in the low single digits with a wind chill of -10 to -17 that is a little too frosty for me.

    I am a mild weather kind of person and I would rather be back in Houston or in Arizona with 60 and 70 degree days with an "occasional cold day" in the 50's.

    Candigirl, U r so right. My mom called from west tn yesterday, and 1inch of actual accumulation that did not stick around long got memphiscityschools out at 11:30 and banks and civil services ended at 12pm. That city is so ridiculous i love it.
    This reminds me that freshman yr, up here it snowed like a 14 inches and stuck which is normal for the midwest, but i just knew i had a free day. Well, I called the business office and asked if we had school and they all started laughing and said u're that girl from tn aren't u?

    All of this weather talk reminds me of one of the reasons I just can't leave PR - every day is right around 85, and every night is right around 75. GAWD I love it!!!

    Jameson,

    That's hilarious! My relatives in Omaha just sent me that same joke the other day except it had 'Nebraska' instead of 'Iowa' (no difference weather wise)!


    That and it ended with this sarcastic remark about Nebraska's football team which just had it's worst season in over 40 years:

    @ -500 degrees
    Hell freezes over,
    and Nebraska wins another National Championship!!

    Spring CAN'T get here soon enough!!

    Yep,

    It's 84 degrees today in Phoenix and I'm still wearing a
    terrycloth hoodie jacket and jazz pants when I run my errands (and the plastic windows are still on my jeep)!

    Although, I did just come in from laying out at my pool...a faint bikini line in an hour. It was relaxing, but I think I'll rely on the Mystic Tan shower for my color!!!
