Rant about the weather...

[Toby's my baby]

Ugg... this winter has been so perfect, yet so annoying in the same amount. I live in northern Minnesota, about 60 miles from the Canadian border and we've only had about 1 inch of snow, which is melting. Every day has been 20-40 degress F, when it usually is about -20 degrees this time of year. Today, instead of snow we got rain! But, the temperature is starting to fall and everything is freezing. The roads are slick and there's a pretty good chance that this ice covering may short out some power lines. My boyfriend had to bring me home this evening early so the roads wouldn't be horrible yet, but the water droplets on the trees were already freezing, though, it sure is beautiful.

From what I've heard all this is caused by "el nino", though I haven't been paying too much attention to what it is, how is it effecting everyone else?

Every day my huskies look at me and ask "But where's the snow?" However, since my husband is doing quite a bit of traveling, I don't mind our warmer weather.

I hate it, no snow. It's just not suppose to be like this, it's suppose to be winter. I have even changed my location from NE Ohio to MUD! It's only snowed once and I have my puppy Layla who liked the snow and wants snow to play in.

I didn't know you were in NE OH-- I'm in NW OH!

I think your missing snow has been misdelivered to me in Denver. Please let me know where to send it.

Let me tell you it is meant to be summer in NZ, so far i have still had to put the heater on on occasion, today it is only 19 degrees c and it is windy and rainy, we have had so much wind, have not even been able to sit outside on the verandah and have dinner as i planned on our table and chairs with our fairy lights and candle,was to be romantic, yeah right, too cold, even had to sit in the car on a picnic too cold to venture out and too windy.

We really only have jan and feb left of our real summer, both those months are usually the hottest, and march can be too depending, although usually cooler in evenings and mornings, so far all our evenings and mornings are just like march-april weather cool, now i hate the heat myself, but even i am complaining, i do want a little bit of summer weather before winter hits us again.

We are having a wet one so far without to much cold weather. Seems like it has been raining forever lately! Flash floor warnings all day...

CatsinDenver, how about sending a lot of that white stuff east (to Pittsburgh!) so that we can have a normal winter! At the end of December I'm driving around with my car window open for goodness sakes!

Let me just say, we have our AC on here in Florida! We'll have a high for 85F today.

Yep NE Ohio! Recently changed my location due to living in MUD from the recent non stop rain.

David, I want winter also, but in the meantime, sorry about the gas companys luck!
My furnace only runs two or three times a day!

NJ has had beautiful weather this winter! It's been mild and no snow, I hate snow. I wish it would stay in the 50's or 60's all year around. I love this type of weather.

What a fitting post for today.

Once again we have rain
Don't get me wrong I love the warmer weather we're having, but I could SO do without this rain. The ground hadn't even dried out from the rain a few days ago, and now we're supposed to get 1/2" or more.

And i have to agree with you Pat...we need some snow for our huskies

I'm in Iowa visiting family, so I know what you all are saying. And I'm not complaining- after several feet of snow the rain with mild temperatures are nice!

I left last Wednesday afternoon to beat the snow, but at my house my husband says we now have about 3 feet in our yard...

We are having a very mild winter in Kentucky. The rainfall has been more but no snow yet. Temperatures have been great in mid 50's to 60's. We put up our Christmas lights after Thanksgiving in short-sleeve shirts. I've worn my winter coat 2 times in last couple months.
Today it's raining again but temperatures are going to be near 60 degrees. We've had cool nights 35-40 degrees.
I can handle this kind of weather.
