    I love seeing those Florida beach cougars in their natural habitat, running credit cards up on International Dr. and sunning themselves at Daytona on the Atlantic side. The most rare high maintenance ones are usually spotted more on the Gulf coastline. I have an Atlantic Canadian dark haired example, very ferocious at times. Like when I bring home another motorcycle part.

    Two or three? We had that in 10 days over the holidays! Snowblower won't throw it over the banks anymore. Then -25 C without windchill(-35-40 with), Now today it is raining and well above freezing. WTF! When this freezes again the bodyshops and insurance adjusters are going to get rich! 15 weeks to go.

    315 feet and it's called a mountain :rolleyes:. Dang, it was 9 degrees at 5 this morning. A couple of water pipes froze up, even with insulation.

    Warmed up to -5 today. A couple of local fuel stops had their diesel pumps gel up the last 2 days during the -20 to -30 degree weather. I think tomorrow it will get above 0 for the first time in 4 days. Getting to be a long winter already.

    New Hampshire checking in...been some weird ass weather for sure. We got the snow storm of 12+inchs. Then the warmup to 35 on Sunday and then low 40's on Monday. Now plummetting to 5 degrees.

    Mother nature, a typical female... is up and down...all over the chart weatherwise. I don't think we're even at the half way point of winter yet...close but not yet.

    I was watching FOX yesterday on the rare occasions that I watch TV anymore, and they were saying the global warming crowd is blaming this super cold weather on - you guessed it - global warming.

    Heh,I watched a documentary on it when ozone depletion was all that was being talked about,the bits I remember about it was we aren't going to have palm trees growing here in Canada any time soon:rolleyes: but weather patterns are going to show more intense storms more often,but finished with saying are these storms the cause of global warming or is Mother earth just going through another cycle like it has done every 4 or 500 years or 4 or 5000 years(can't remember which:confused:) like another ice age...So was it dinosaur farts caused the last ice age:wideyed: or was the planet going through a cycle...
    Remember they were saying when the polar ice cap was melting because of global warming?? Well now it's global cooling :eek:

    They have yet to explain why trees and grass spring up as soon as the ice melts away from ground that was supposed to have been covered in ice for billions of years.
