Do not complain, sir; yesterday, in my homeland (Leon, Castile & Leon) it was snowing for twenty hours!.
This is my homeland: www.aytoleon.es
Do you like the gothic cathedral that you can see by the web cam?...

Default Is that Spain?
I went there several times. Loved Bareclona! Rota was a disapointment, though. I miss chasing girls along la Rambla.

Beautiful area. I haven't been there since the late 70's. It's on my list of things to get back to.

Y'all have to move out to this part of the country. It was cool last night (24) but it's suppose to be in the low 70's by lunch.

I spent some time in Alaska once. Probably one of the coldest moments in my life.

We got some freezing rain and snow flurries around my way last night. The main roads are fine but some of the side roads are covered with a sheet of ice.

Default Never got to Alaska...
...but I remember December in Great Lakes. Marching to breakfast at 0-dark-30, only to discover the fresh snow we're marching through is disguising the 2"-thick sheet of ice that resulted from a fireplug bursting as the water inside tried to freeze solid. Looking back, it's comical. But at the time, it was infuriating...we all went down like dominos!
