It's been a bit better these last 2 days, but they're predicting the temps. will drop down again this week. Oh. Boy. (can you tell I'm thrilled?) We got about 5 cm of snow today, and if you were walking into the wind, it was nasty!:pinky:

The day started out, fairly warm but, by afternoon, the temp dropped a bit and it got cloudy. There was a bit of rain, around the valley but, none at our house.

I was out on the patio at 1:00 a.m., in p.j. bottoms, robe and slippers. Other than my aching stomach, I was quite comfortable.

another coooooolld day today. My riding lesson only lasted 1/2 an hour (instead of the usual 1 hour) because I was so cold I was starting to go numb. And I'm sure the horse didn't mind the shorter excercise session, either.

I've got several layers for riding, but it looks like I need more...
long underwear, under bike shorts, under a pair of jeans. 2 pairs of socks. A turtleneck under a hooded sweater, under a coat. Earmuffs, 2 pairs of gloves... and a partridge in a pear tree!

The cold weather hit us over the weekend here in North Carolina, but not as cold as there in Canada.

I'm not quite sure about the rules for links, but here goes. If you need dog booties or dog jackets for harsh conditions I would recommend http:\\\\www.dogbooties.com. It's a small business and they're extremely helpful. Just email or call if you're not sure what to order, or how to size, or anything else. Everything is hand made right there and is extremely high quality. (They even made-and donated-most of the booties for the search and rescue dogs that went in at the World Trade Center site after the 9/11 attack.)

It's another COOOOLD day today. It's supposed to drop down to the -40's with the windchill tonight.... BRRRR!!
I got Dixie's rain/winter coat yesterday, and to my surprise, she seems to like it! So she's been out in a bright red coat a few times now, bounding through the snow. I'm going to try to build booties for her from old socks, velcro and maybe some old insoles? See how long those'll last... I can just see her high stepping like a Lipizzaner or a dressage horse!

It is finally warming up here still. The snow is all gone, but more is predicted later this week. I welcomed the sun today, it has been a long time since I have seen it (or so it seems)

Oh gosh! The weather is just awsome here in NZ at the moment. I went out today with my grandparents and it was sooooo lovely and sunny at the beach, this has been the best day of 2004 so far.


Sorry to everyone having poor weather.

So far, this week, we've been at nearly 80 every day. It is now 7:00 a.m. and 60 degrees. We haven't had the furnace on, in over a week. Overnight lows have been in the 50s. I love Arizona!

oh... rub it in, eh?
It's another freezing day today. I walked the dog to the mailbox 2 streets down, and we were both nearly frozen when we got home. Here she is wearing her coat.

Two of my friends in NY called yesterday to say they bought their airline tickets for their annual trip down. They can't stand the cold anymore!

On a funny note, yesterday there must have been a glitch over at weather.com, because for about an hour when the secretary at school and I pulled up the weekly forecast for Tampa, it said 'snow' for 5 out of the next 10 days!
How I wish!

On Thursday the windchill here was -35, fortunately, I had that day off from work and I just stayed inside all day. Today (Sat) it has warmed up to +15 which is better, but STILL waaaay too cold!!!!!

Fine day on our Texas beach -- 71 deg. F., or 22 deg. C. A light rain earlier, but now very pleasant. Miss Kitty thinks it is a fine day to play in Ann's sandal -- ever known a cat with a foot fetish before? Cheers, Jim & Ann

One last try for Miss Kitty. Someday we may figure out how to handle photos -- there is a chance this time the attached photo may be small enough. We are afraid we may be outwearing our welcome. Cheers, Jim & Ann
