One snow fall of six inches and a few other dustings of snow. Today I was driving around with my car window half way down. Tomorrow Phil may give of the bad news of six more weeks of winter or not!Mail Art Dramashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641811876296214400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-44925117959834515562012-02-01T11:50:52.336-06:002012-02-01T11:50:52.336-06:00I ran into a wall of rain like that, on the highwa...I ran into a wall of rain like that, on the highway one time.

The only reason it is not too dangerous, no one can see far enough to go fast. It is when you run into a fog bank on an interstate that causes problems.<br /><br />Hermit, between you and my wife, we could predict the weather better than the weather man.<br /><br />Jane, I know what you mean. We can bear once in awhile, but not over 200 days a year.<br /><br />Bob from Athens, my son worked in Oregon for a spell and told me about it. When the sun shines, it must be beautiful.

It was always foggy and always cold. I sat in a folding chair on the beach, wrapped in a blanket, while my kids were down at water's edge getting their feet wet. There was always an animal swimming fairly close to shore that looked like a dog - I finally figured out it was a seal. There are lots of them to be seen everywhere along the Pacific coast. <br /><br />Monterey (s. of San Francisco) is also foggy & chilly, but once in a while the sun comes out and there is nothing like it anywhere.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-29340419402252173772012-02-01T10:49:19.462-06:002012-02-01T10:49:19.462-06:00As a kid I lived on the coast of Oregon, we just t...As a kid I lived on the coast of Oregon, we just thought of fog as lazy clouds. During a dry year we had over 60 inches of rain. During school recess we would go out as far from the school as possible and then tell the teacher we got lost and so therefore didn't come back from recess for a while. Not hard to do when visibility is less then five feet all day.Bob from Athenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124078025732286371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-54988948766376428322012-02-01T10:18:45.083-06:002012-02-01T10:18:45.083-06:00We had fog here this morning,I guess a certain amt...We had fog here this morning,I guess a certain amt is necessary but I don't like it.

It was soo thick I had to open the door so passenger could see the white line on the edge of the road. Only way to see stop lights was when you got to the intersection. Scary , real scary! <br />Course over the years living down there we learned to deal with it.

The snow does seem to melt fast when the fog moves in. The coast of Maine has some amazing fog along the coast. It can be totally fogged in on the beach, but 300 feet inland it's sunny and 15 degrees warmer.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.com
