Oh, this is soooo funny you guys! I did that yesterday & was wondering when anyone would notice. Gen, you were the first LOL. It is nice to see weather where you all are. I want a bigger one like Gen & Skeet. Notice how cold I am over here? It'll be low of - 10 this weekend. Took me awhile to figure how to do it. Isn't this fun?
Joe, no need to worry about your puter going nutso.
Laaz, if you don't like the beer, shove a lime in it LOL.
I can't believe I didn't see this post earlier...was on here 5pm till 6 pm.
There, finally got the big one on... I'm colder than Canada!

Yea Patty for starting this--and Joe, like Patty says you don't have to worry about it affecting your computer-- you are just pasting a link to another website on this forum-- just like the photos.

It is interesting that when you change your choice of banners it gets applied to all previous post with the banner. I initially had one that looked like am alarm clock.

Gen, I remember trying Labatt Blue, but I think that was more like Bud. The one I liked was a brown beer.

As for putting lime in a coors --it is a waste of good lime! -- Like putting it in Miller Lite.

I was just looking back at some earlier post-- anyone that has been using a signature and has pasted it into their signature block now has it on all of their earlier post--and the information is continuously updated.

HOW FUN IS THAT! IT IS COLD HERE AND GETTING COLDER, WILL BE WORKING ALL WEEKEND

I am baffled by these temps! 10°F in Wis., 5°F in Min., and how can it be colder in Fla that in SC??


Our temps here are nuts here. It was seasonably freezing (-15°C) last week and now its back to being unseasonably mild. Weird.

Hey Gen, It's been like that a lot this year-- when Lazz or Ned would mention the temp there I would notice it was warmer than here. I think they are getting winds coming over the Gulf stream with all that warm water when those highs move across south of them but north of us.

In the summer you will see we are often cooler than them as well.

I like it!

Ivica-- you are warmer than we are! Wow

Patty and Joan-- That is some bitter cold! Ouch!

Skeeter,
my local weather pattern for 2007 so far looks like one from the 1st half of April, eh...

I love April weather-- we may get a little taste of that early next week-- I'm ready for the cold t go away.

Didn't wear my long undies today & wind chill is -15F. My bones got cold going from car to store! This is some wicked cold!! Joan, I'm sure you're colder by you. It is fun to see everyone's weather here

Skeeter,
I'm looking at the forecast for Pensacola, yes, April is there ... and remains here too
Believe me it would be much more normal that I have Patty's weather here!
I have opened thread "Off-topic: Unbelievable weather pattern of the winter 2006/7" which I shall update as time goes on... Join me there to compare our current winter weather...
Looking at "2006 arborday.org Hardiness Zone Map" I see that hardiness zone for Pensacola is 9 (9a?). That is what I got this winter here too, and I'm at 45.5° N 16.4° E.
Daisies never stoped flowering, violets are flowering for a couple of months now, these days we got usual spring signs too (snowdrop flowers)... Suprisingly, trees are keeping with it amasingly good - being not much confused (except inground fig looking 'suspicious' to me...).
I see no much chance for any cold to last longer than a couple of days here - sea temps arround Europe are abnormaly high, land temps too - and that goes all over Siberia... Unbelievable...

Ivica, yes we are now in zone 9 again-- we were when I was growing up as well and then after the record setting cold of the late 80's and early 90's we were reclassified as zone 8 until the latest adjustments.

In the distant past this area was considered a citrus growing area-- there is a town just N of Mobile-- about 60 miles west-- named Satsuma due to the fact that it use to have commercial satsuma groves. There were also a lot of large satsuma trees around when I grew up about 30 miles west of here that got wiped out in the freeze that hit in the early 60's-- it got down to 14 and stayed below freezing for 3 days.

Skeeter, I see a lot of nice avenue names in Satsuma (nearby Fig Island): Pine, Oak, Maple, Orange, Magnolia...
I have Magnolia Grandiflora (possible native in your area) which I shall plant inground this April.
