Hey Svenn, I see your in Norway, My work takes me to
Amsterdam every 2mos. were I can enjoy a few days
of Europe. Hope to do a tour of 10 countries this comeing June.
I know it is very cold there on the north sea, Wow !
The northen areas of the U.S have had much milder
winters the past couple years. Put I fear this year will
be very cold.
Wishing you PFDAN

I trade with you this year.... Here in San Diego the darned sun is shining all the time - can't stand it !!!
I think we got some rain in March...
I sure miss the fall, winter and spring... here, all we have is sunshine.. I am not being sarcastic.. just took the chance to let it out.. (I grew up in Sweden).

marty...........besides the sunshine season you also have earthquake season, riot season, smog season and forest fire season.
Up here on the edge of the Mojave desert we have four seasons. Two in the summer, the cool season is "DAMN-it's-hot" and the warm season "Sumbitch!-I- think-I'm-gonna-pass-out-hot"
The mild winter season is colder-than-a-well-digger's-ass and the real cold frostier-than-a-librarians-thigh.

You folks just need to move to Kansas City...("where everything is up to date", ya know!)
We have FOUR seasons -- granted spring and fall seem a bit short, but we do have all four.
Winters here can be a bit tough, but not as bad as places like Minnesota, upstate NY, or Maine. *Real* winter here runs from mid-December to mid-February
I'm no fan of winter either, but I found it to be very managable.
A friend of mine moved from here to Ft. Worth, TX ...
He loves the very mild winters (or total lack thereof) but he discovered that summer runs from April till late September! Ugh!
Well, Svenn -- I wish you well and stay warm!
PFDAN!

Nice catch Svenn. My car has looked like that on several occasions here in Kansas City. Much preferred the Minnesota winters. At least there you can do something with it. Here in KC we get freezing rain the majority of the time and any snow we get does not stick around very long.
Kansas has two seasons - Paving with asphalt, Not paving with asphalt. Seasonal colors are - green for spring, and different shades of brown for late summer, fall and winter.

Aw, Gee, poor Marc!! Before you turn him into toast, bear one thing in mind- he has a HUGE problem with sand in his house.....well, someone has to defend the poor guy....AND, if he walks too far west- well, he WILL get wet- or run into a big rock!!
Portland, OR is still seeing sunshine- but the temp is hovering around a toasty 42 as I write-
sheesh!..... ....Sunburn my ...................
Think I'll go get a hot toddy.......

I LOVE THE WINTER! Especially here in the SF Bay Area ;D ;D. I think I wore a coat twice last winter .
It's perfect when the fog rolls in and you can feel the bay breeze blowing when you sleep with the windows open .
I did go out for lunch in a t-shirt and it was just perfect at 68 degrees. Unfortunately, not as nice as MOrro Bay.
Actually, the only time it becomes unbearably cold in SF is in the Summer! It's so funny to see tourists come in their shorts & t-shirts and freeze their A-S-S-E-S off!

Come back here and get stuck in a six-foot drift near Buffalo International, spend all day in line to buy gas at the only station that's plowed out, fight your way down I 90 in blizzard behind snow plows and be forced to stay in a Best Western along with 422 screaming kids, eat nothing but donuts and Dow Chemical created apple pies from a machine, and next day spend 5 hours going 45 miles. Now that's fun!

Virginia (9erfan),
I'm with you - I have a fire in my fireplace almost every night during July and August while everyone else is dying from heat...but now, it's beautiful. I walked Ocean Beach yesterday enjoying the 76 degree weather here in the City. Picture perfect this time of year.
Chris
