    On my way into work this morning, I had to switch to 4 wheel drive in my Ranger. Only about an inch of snow but every time I'd take a corner or go up a hill, rear tires would spin. Once I got out of town, no snow, just cold wind...and so it begins...wah, wah wah!!! I'd love to do the snowbird thing in the winters!!! sunny

    Well I guess you guys in the south and west can make fun of us in the frozen zones of the country.  But when all of our snow melts into the ground,....it fills our wells, and watersheds.  So at least we can have clean water to drink, bathe, flush our toilets ,and wash our vans, without taking a chance of getting tickets from the water police affraid
    But 60* sure sounds good !

    Yep, just fooling with you guys. Grew up on the east coast and know all about winter. Came to CA in the winter of 1980 and never went back. I do know whats it like to work in the cold, not fun. We here in CA sure do need winter and lots of rain.

    You are more than welcome to come and get all of the snow you can transport. I'll send you an email when there is more than we can use. cheers

    Yeah just kidding with you snow dwellers, I grew up on an Air Force Base in Germany and loved the snow during the Holidays. But we pay for the great winters here in AZ with a brutal summer. Gets too hot almost to drive our temperture finicky vans.

    I've been watching the local weather up there and it looks like we are getting rain! Plus some snow? Have you been getting any snow over there yet?

    My place is too low - according to the snow levels they showed the other day when I checked...

    Don't know how high up you are over in the oroville area...
