We moved from Upstate NY to the South about 31 years ago . I can honestly say I do NOT miss the snow . The days of shoveling and running a snow thrower while freezing my a$$ off are a distant memory . Exactly how I want it 😁

As I tell my neighbors with green lawns, you can't drink green grass.
Drought here too but we're blessed with an awesome reservoir and no restrictions.... yet.

Well look at the bright side of it. It saves you all the trouble of painting your driveway white.

Another layer of paint on mine this afternoon. Might have to get the walk-behind paint peeler out tomorrow morning.

I think you need to clean your camera's sensor. It's got all kinds of dust bunnies on it.

^^^ I slid the window open to take the pic and the flash was on.
Funny how it made some of the flakes look so big. It was snowing hard.

Send it!

We haven't had precip since September and, though we have a ski area in town, it was 60F today.

The CO ski areas are barely open (WROD - white ribbon of death).

I'm getting sick of watering my trees and other things to get them through, year after year lately. This weather pattern sucks. Perhaps Seattle/Vancouver could donate some water?

70° here today in Lincoln Nebraska. Odd weather for the end of November. Going to be in the 60s for the rest of the week. On the other hand, it’s nice to be able to get out on one of the motorcycles this time of year.

I hate the cold here in SoCal. The girls at the beach wear one-piece suits instead of bikinis.

People pay me $50 to $70 per Christmas tree to have fake snow added to them.

I don't mind the snow. Clearing snow, even with powered equipment, I usually sweat too much and everything goes in the wash only to be wet again in a day or so. One thing I will not miss are my snow boots. I gave them away since I only use my leather hunting boots for snow stuff.

One year was bad though. I don't miss that.
