    Brrrrrr!!!

    Must be something to all that global warming malarky....I've never seen it so cold here in "sunny" San Jose! It got down to 24.6 degF last night. When I went out (to help run a marquetry class) this morning, I couldn't beleive it - my fountain was FROZEN SOLID! Here the pic:



    This NEVER happens here.....until now! What's next? Snow??

    Where have I got to move to, to be in a nice temperate climate for the next 20 years or so of global climate change?

    You guys need to come to Canada. No snow here in Toronto and a balmy 27 degrees F. Only snow is in Vancouver where it rarely snows

    Ha, thanks for that report. I don't feel nearly so bad now about our 17 this morning. We used to live in Castro Valley, and there was just one year that it got down to the high 20's and we lost a lot of plants, and a lot of people had broken pipes.

    Ugh. We've got a train of 3 or 4 ice storms coming through this weekend. I spent the morning cutting up iced over branches and jamming them in the garbage cans for pickup. Nothing worth turning either, dangit.

    I had to stop after a couple hours because I soaked through my winter work gloves that are "water proof." My finger tips felt like they were on fire. Felt like that might be a good stopping point.

    I will consider this weekend a good one as long as we don't lose power.
    Where did I put that tape measure...

    Dave....at least that's what the realtor told me when he sold me this place. He said that's why it was listed at such a large amount.

    See.... If you lived on the right side of the river you wouldn't have those problems...

    It was a balmy 37 degrees and rainy here today. Carlyle always seems to get by-passed by the nasty stuff..... might have something to do with the lake here... or not....
