Interesting perspectives!! Love it!!

It has snowed in northern floriduh before, but never as far south as where I am.

I do expect in a few years though, it could happen. Since Al Gore says it's warming, I'll bet my wallet it will get colder.

He a wrong way Joe if ever there was one ...

Been there...done that. Never lived where they get a LOT of snow, just dustings. Even for that, still a major pain. Makes for some fun times if you have kids though. Bundle them up and hand them shovels. Everyone turns target after 10 minutes or so.

I grew up in Northern New Jersey, so I've seen my share. If you have the gear, an overnight camp out in some deep snow covered woods is AWESOME and I highly recommend it.

I spent nearly three hours on boxing day shoveling snow out of the car park...my mother was fretting about getting out after I had left for the weekend. Her low profiles were doing nothing but spinning in the snow. bless. She sounded like she was going to buy a new car, I told her to just change the bloody wheels in the winter, like the bloody Germans who made the car. That's how felt after the shoveling.....

Just to get back onto a warmer subject, Here's one from ther archives of my mobile phone (sorry it's a bit fuzzy) - Cape Town and Table Mountain from the beach were all the shots of the mountain are taken, Milnterton/Table View/Bloubergstrand. They also have hundreds of kite surfers around there...quite cool.

LOL... I love it. Quite ironic being that the only time I could use ben gay is after shoveling snow.

Here's some warm ones from our trip to the Giant Sequoia's.

This was on the way up to the Sequoia National Park:

Another of the beautiful river. It was a ton of fun running around on all the boulders.

Two 'little' ones:

The biggest tree in the world (by volume). Check out the dude taking a picture... he's above the sign.

And looking up:

Great pics of one of nature's crowning achievements!!

Heck after one season of shoveling, I started putting on the Ben Gay BEFORE I started to shovel ! Saved time and I could still reach around to apply it without pain ...

And it kept me warm besides ...

no snowblowers. I could use one... but the 30 steps from deck to driveway would be very interesting covered in ice carrying a big machine around.

My back has definitely gotten a lot stronger since I moved up here.

Yup, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

We had a massively large snow blower at our house growing up. It was a real beast but when that ice forms underneath, it's chopping time, and lots of it. We had a long arse driveway and without fail, within an hour of finishing it, a DOT snowplow would whiz by and completely block the entrance with slush ice and snow....bastards!!!
