Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by marty on Nov 3rd, 2002, 12:36pm 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 |

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by BobG on Nov 3rd, 2002, 1:13pm 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. |

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by Peppermint on Nov 3rd, 2002, 1:29pm oy vey!

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by StanTheMan on Nov 3rd, 2002, 3:15pm 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! StanTheMan |

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by echo on Nov 4th, 2002, 9:07am 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. |

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by 9erfan on Nov 4th, 2002, 6:05pm I LOVE THE WINTER! Especially here in the SF Bay Area ;D ;D. I think I wore a coat twice last winter ;D. It's perfect when the fog rolls in and you can feel the bay breeze blowing when you sleep with the windows open ;D. 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! :o |

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by Charlie on Nov 4th, 2002, 6:27pm 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! 8) ::) Charlie |

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by SFChris on Nov 4th, 2002, 6:41pm 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 |

Title: (atleast 1/10th of an inch)Re: I HATE WINTER Post by stevek on Nov 7th, 2002, 8:15pm It rained today in southern california (at least 1/10th of an inch). But the previous few days were great. Combine that with the over head surf last week and I know why I live here. Stevek |

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by 9erfan on Nov 8th, 2002, 12:47pm Peppermint, Trust me, you forget about how great the weather is here when you see the cost of housing! :( And today the weather is DISGUSTING! We are having a TERRIBLE storm here in Northern California; flooding, power outages, trees down, high (70 mph) winds last night. It was not fun trying to make it in to work today because it was dark and I couldn't see where all the flooding was. It's UGLY right now! :o :o |
||
|
Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by SFChris on Nov 8th, 2002, 1:06pm 9erFan, Amen to that - I am in the middle of having my roof replaced (figures, huh!) when that storm hit last night. The workers left some of the equipment on my roof, and when the winds came last night it it blew heavy machinery back and forth all night long....I'm not in cycle BUT I was up all night hoping the roof didn't come down. Supposed to be worse tonight. Chris |
||
|
Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by Peppermint on Nov 8th, 2002, 1:09pm Yes...thanks - I got that small consolation from another Californian just a few minutes ago... there may be stray snow flurries here.. but the sun is shinin' bright right now....sumthin' is sumthin' :D ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by stevek on Nov 8th, 2002, 3:20pm Yes, it is still raining but the surf is double to triple overhead at rincon. And the dolphins were surfing the waves. Now if I was in better shape so it didn't take me 45 minutes to get one wave I would really be having fun. |
||
|
Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by Bob P on Nov 8th, 2002, 3:31pm Come on up the coast. I've heard they're expecting 25-30 foot swells tomorrow. Probably a good day to go over to Morro Rock and watch the idiots get swept off the the breakwater by some sleeper wave. I could hear it pounding when I left the house this morning. |
||
|
Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by Marc on Nov 8th, 2002, 3:36pm Bob, Just left the rock - oh sheeet! Bigger than last Feb. - waves are taking some chunks out of the top of the jetty. Try to leave early and check it out... I'd go to the beach today, but there isn't one right now..... Marc |
||
|
Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by SFChris on Nov 8th, 2002, 3:52pm Better yet - come further up the coast to surf Mavericks...no one has died there yet this week! |
||
|
Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by 9erfan on Nov 8th, 2002, 4:00pm Chris, This is our payback for bragging about the nice weather in Cali. ;D I hope things go better at your house tonight. Be careful out there! I heard the lights went out on the Bay Bridge last night! :o Virginia |
||
|
Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by Marc on Nov 8th, 2002, 4:02pm Chris, I'm an old surfer from way back, but the outer sets at Mavericks are waaay outta my league.. Much happier at Rincon or sneaking into The Ranch. |

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by BobG on Nov 8th, 2002, 5:57pm Sorry you people in California have a little storm and can't go surfin right now, but.............. you didn't have to send it over the Sierra mountains into Nevada. Got so cold here that I had to wear shoes most of the day. Damned temperature must have dropped into the 80's. :D |

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by marty on Nov 8th, 2002, 6:14pm A light rain has just started in San Diego. There is talk about shutting down all public transportation services, libraries and post offices. I hope that we will survive this one :o Marty |

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by BobG on Nov 8th, 2002, 6:31pm LOL Marty One day it snowed here in Vegas. Paralyzed the entire valley. The schools were closed cause the bus drivers were crashing. No body could get to work. :'( It was the worst snowstorm in decades, almost a full inch fell that day. :o That snow was on the ground for almost 3 hours! |
||
|
Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by Cathi on Nov 8th, 2002, 7:00pm Yup, yup, I remember my California days- 'course, we lived inland......never got to live on the beach.....only time WE got to yell "Surf's Up" was when the Northridge EQ hit in... watched the water in our pool fly out of the left side, then out the right side.....total water loss was about 12,000 gal.... I live in Oregon, now....... |
||
|
Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by Peppermint on Nov 9th, 2002, 8:13am Sorry about the bad weather Cali folks...........NOT!! ;D I always wanted to hear the waves crashing, but not in my living room.........yeah, big deal, tomorrow will be another beautiful sunny and warm day. ...light rain.. 1/10th of an inch....3 hours of an inch of snow..... Hey here's an idea....grab your surf boards and head on over to Morro Rock..BobP will be waiting for you to pick him up as you sail past his window... :D :-* (Ohhhh... the bitterness....!!) |

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by Lapsi_Harmaahapsi on Nov 9th, 2002, 11:20am I don't understand why someone doesn't like winter. Anything over -5 C is too warm for shorts & t-shirt. |

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by firebrix on Nov 9th, 2002, 11:55am Ah HA!! So you've BEEN to Wellington, then Charlie?? :o As the political centre of NZ we try to stay away from Wellington! We live way north of there, thankfully, but when we had to go and work down there right in the city, I was a bit worried about all the ropes that encircle the pavements, and asked why they were there. I was told that it gets so windy with the hi rise buildings creating wind tunnels that the ropes are there for people to hang on to so they don't get blown away!!! Worse, it was true!! No way this chikki brikki was getting on an outdoor scaffold!! Not when I have to run 'round in the shower just to get wet!! Couldn't wait to get outta there; it blew and blew!! However where we live it's a lot more pleasant. Welcome mat's still out; a bit damp today tho', but at least its warmer! (the weather, not the MAT!) Some good but smaller surf here in NZ too, - our daughter's in Gisborne (city of surf NZ) surfin' her heart out this weekend. PFDAN to y'all firebrix |

Title: Re: I HATE WINTER Post by Bob P on Nov 9th, 2002, 12:25pm Visited the rock this morning. Looks like it's gone down some (the jetty in the left of the pic is 15 feet tall) http://pahlow.net/temp/surf.jpg |

My son caught the news this am, getting ready for work- Rincon was the topic- I think he left with his wetsuit on- surfboard on the rack....I failed to remind him of 2 things...he's a banker, and we are in Portland now........old surfers never die...... Are you guys okay down there? I love a good storm- but it looks like it's getting out of hand....this is a CA Coast Check- everyone safe & dry? Cathi |
