BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Huh? I remember reading about baseball sport's announcers (and beat writers) back in the day... It might have been Harry Carey, Jack Brickhouse... Chicago? The saying was: "You kept an overcoat on hand to July 1st in your locker." LMAO, "locker" what prima donna even utilizes a "locker" now. LoL... Or something like that in the Northern baseball towns. Also dating it heavily with the word "overcoat." It's February people! Soon to be MARCH... You don't even begin to plant your veggies in an area like BFLO until Memorial Day! Wow... All the whining going on! Now I gotta get my sorry azz to work... ;-) NEWSFLASH: Easter is set to the full moon and spring equinox. Easter Sunday is the Sunday of the first full moon after the equinox... It can bascially range the whole lunar cycle from mid-March to mid-April. Oh wait... Maybe that was your point... LoL ;-P one Easter many moons ago my family went up to Watertown got caught in a snow storm, the station wagon slid on ice and we crashed way off the road, (no one got seriously hurt) and sine we only brought "spring" clothes froze out butts off for a week. I'll always remember that and use it as my winter Almanac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 75 today when I got home at 5pm. Beer on the deck. Nice, leading out from our kitchen we have sliding glass doors with a deck & then a stamped concrete padio. I got 2 little Pomeranian puppies for the kids for Christmas(they weigh 3 pnds each). I built a snow fence from the deck to the patio about 4 feet tall. It is funny watching them trying to climb over it. Yeah that is what I am looking out at, I will be surprised if this snow melts by Memorial day. Sick of it, frankly. Nearly March and anticipating another 6" of snow this upcoming week. Thinking of relocating to Savannah GA. Savannah GA is awesome for St Paddy's day. My friends & I went down there one time when we were in our late 20's. Best St Paddy's day weekend I think I ever spent. It was so much fun. I would move down there just for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALOKIE Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 We got like three inches of snow today. This afternoon, before heading to the grocery store, I shoveled the driveway. Right as I was getting started, I noticed that someone had showed up with a bobcat to clear my neighbors driveway (a normal, residential, 2 - car driveway. Three inches of snow. No ice. A friggin bobcat!) I cleared my driveway in about 15 m8nutes and left for the store, and this guy is not even half way done. When I got home, he was gone and the neighbors driveway was cleAr, but some damage was done to the adjacent sections of lawn. Dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been in Alaska 20 years and I don't think I've experienced as bad a winter as your getting. At lest when it's cold here it doesn't snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At lest when it's cold here it doesn't snow. That's how it is here in this part of Illinois. It gets cold, but not a lot of snow. Going to be 40's and rain on Tuesday. The biggest snow in Chicago ever was 89" in late 1970's. They were crying bloody murder when the topped 80" last year... Normally, on this side of The Lake we only average about 40" a year, but get the cold in winter and brutal heat in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing I really hate about the weather here! Brutal hot in the summer. Also, I can stand -20 below from December to March. I'd actually prefer it to just stay frozen and then warm up and stay warmed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At lest when it's cold here it doesn't snow. That's what people used to try to sell me when I lived in Fairbanks. " Well, we don't have to shovel cold here bub!" Yeah, but it freaking sucks when the high temperature is -45 for 5 weeks straight, and you go to work and come home from work in the dark for 7 months. Freaking eyes freeze open on your walk into Walmart. Sweet! I understand that the climate is much different in Anchorage, Jim. Do you guys get really rainy summers like the interior? Choking smoke from wildfires? Mosquitos the size of humming birds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
