(81,254 posts)Normal February around here.
Im no seasoned veteran but Ive never been snowed in like this as far back as I can remember, even born in the Midwest! I have kid memories of snowy days and cold mornings.
But in SoCal, OY! Anything dropping toward the 40s and thats the bitter end! Heck, it rains so seldom down there that nobody remembers how to drive in the rain! The accident rate on the streets and freeways always goes up.
In Oregon people seem to be used to SOME snow in the late winter. Ive seen three winters now. Snow yes. A few hours worth and then its melted away. But THIS? THIS particular winter? CRIMINY!!! This is bad! Instead of three hours and its gone, were at three DAYS and its still here! Conditions remain cold, slippery, and dangerous! Broken trees EVERYWHERE! My husband assured me they dont feel pain but it sure looks painful to me!
