While I only live 30 miles from the FL border I seldom travel there and haven't been very far South in FL since I took my kids to Orlando 25 years ago and St. Augustine (pretty place) 20 years ago.Comment

not just the ugly lizards, FLA has a Python\Boa problem too,Comment

We would have the same problem here if not for our "beneficial" cold snaps. Not to mention extra weeds and bugs. Some things we don't have (like scorpions) because they would probably drown.
Weather is mild this week here. Sunny days in the 50's-60's with lows near freezing. Whenever it warms up any at all it rains.Comment

About 34-35 f here by mid-day, and then back down to 25-28f at night, which is a bit on the warm side for this time of year.
Roads are still kinda iffy- I've been off the bike for almost a month now. Sort of hoping for dry roads soon. I'd like to get back into riding for the exercise.
Been seeing red crested wood-peckers for most of the winter. I had thought they migrated. A little odd to see them trying to drill into the oaks and elms around here at ten below.
I'll keep an eye out for them- photo opportunities are still rare for me with those birds.

Phoenix...30 Jan, high temp 78 degrees, WX channel says feels like 83. Yes it is warm, today I had to repair a water leek in the front, and sweat like July. Cooler this weekend and supposedly rain.
You all will get back at us in July - Aug when it's 120 degrees here and you are 85.Comment

33F and overcast today.
We actually came close to record warm for late January with the last two days of the month edging low 40's.
Streets are drying off quite a bit, with a lot of newly exposed pot-holes. I am going to get back on the bike in the next couple of days. Most of that really glossy overnight melt water ice is gone now, so should be a bit safer.
I could really use the exercise.

"feels like" - depends whether your sitting in a chair on the patio under the shade having lunch or out in the sun busting your butt.Phoenix...30 Jan, high temp 78 degrees, WX channel says feels like 83.

The forum just folded on my Android phone this a.m..
I can still get on and post on the laptop with the stuff pictured and described on the first page of this thread.
Colorado low set to slap us beginning sometime over-night.
It's even supposed to clip Hogger. These counter clock-wise rotating low pressure cells appear to be more frequent these days, or maybe the joints in my knees are paying more attention to them. At any rate the system extends from the foothills all the way to the eastern edge of Minn, and from Just south of Nebr all the way to central Manitoba, with the north edge bisecting the Interlake area. Big system...

Strange. Everything is normal here (forum) but certainly not for everyone. I had that one blip for a couple of days that I mentioned, then everything returned on it's own.
Since I did have problems though I have to rule out area/location. I wonder if the cause could be signal strength? I think I read where Lyman said an upgrade to the forum's website may be needed but if so that will have to go through Pat.
Weather wise everything here is mostly overcast, cold, wet, windy. Overall crappy.Comment

We're on a fibre optic network here, with both the laptop and phone on the same wi-fi signal.
Grandson games off the same wi-fi signal, which devours massive amounts of band-width, so I doubt it's either of the wi-fi signal or network service. The system keeps up with everything to a much more than reasonable extent.
Very likely a security up-grade issue at the host server level.

About 28f here and light snow.
Supposed to head out for family meet today if any of the required party's are willing to show- no big deal, just playing catch-up and how the heck are ya's :P
Still playing around with and investigating photo flash, and am a bit surprised at how much I've retained and how well it all still works.
