Whats your weather right now?

To all our warmer temperate members. 30 yrs ago I too was a winter Noob. If you’ve never experienced the pleasure of moving snow imagine this……. You wake up one morning to find that someone filled your driveway and the streets with loose sand.lol . Now you get to move it to the side but you quickly learn that as it piles up on the sides of the driveway you have to get creative because you’re running out of room. If your lucky you have a machine that can throw it further. This is the easy sand, sometimes it’s wet, slushy sand that weighs as much as shoveling bowling balls.lol I also never realized that major downtown areas can’t just pile snow on the sidewalk so they have it trucked out in gravel haulers and dump it in the Detroit river.
 
It’s a rainy day here in the Valley of the Sun. Dark and rather dreary but we sure need it.

Been cold the last few days but there's a change happening.

When I went out for my walk this morning, a hard frost meant good going - instead of muddy path there was firm, crunchy soil. But as I was returning through the village it began to rain, which falling on cold ground immediately froze. I could hardly walk along the street and the back yard was so treacherous I just couldn't keep my feet. Must have looked hilarious . . .

It's still raining a few hours later and we know this signals the arrival of a warm front. In another few hours, should all be thawed.

Been away for a bit... ditched Montreal in favour of SW Florida. Its midnight, 21*C / 70 *F right now. Expecting a high of 27 *C under sunny skies tomorrow. Sad thing is that I have no bike here, only a boat. Being a big boat fan, that's a hardship I can endure!
 
Cold but sunny day in Newport.
Wife covered the store, so I could repair the front door which was leaking in water. Job done so happy days for me!
