The pitty party starts right here! It's going to be about the same in OK... Someone pinch me! Why did I move to OK??? Oh yeah, it's a better place to live... Brrr!!! Tim
Whenever I need a little cheering up over winter weather, I can usually go to wunderground.com and see how things are in Old Crow, Yukon. (why do people live there?)
It would be nice of those TDA's in the arctic NW and Alaska would get straightened out on when to send their weather this way. In winter, no. In summer, send all you want.
That was just depressing. I got on the weather underground to look at Old Crow, Yukon and they are only 1 degree Fahrenheit colder than here where I am in Lusk, Wyoming. We don't have a wunderground station here but the one at the HS works well and gives accurate readings. Negative six degrees fahrenheit here and that is the warmest it has been for a few days.

The short answer is no... About the only thing CA has going for it is good weather. Everything else is the price you pay for having good weather.
Oh... The other good thing about CA is the high price of homes. I say that because our house tripled in value in 6 years! It's what allowed us to move east and get out of debt...
So, don't feel bad for those that still live there, it's their choice! If they leave CA they might come to your neighborhood!!!
Mid-70's here for the past three days and late tomorrow the storm arrives.
My buddy in New Orleans bought a storm damaged boat on E-Bay for $2,500 (36 footer with a fine diesel). We motored out onto Lake Ponchitrain (spelling?) yesterday in shirtsleeves.
I gotta get a motorcycle ride in today before the deluge and return to the 40's.
I'm 15-20 min north of Tulsa and we were spared the worst of the storm. There's still 3-4 in of solid ice but it's all on the ground. South and East of here is a different story with ice in the trees and fallen power lines. Warmer weather (low 40's) is expected later in the week but the damage is already done...
suddenly it feels alot colder. Its been in the single digits around here and with the wind chills get down to the negative teens every day. Here being as far north as you can get in New York. tomorrow starts our heat wave in the 20's
