SURPRISE, ARIZONA
I thought it only fair to you folks in the snow regions that I make a little confession. It is, at this very moment, sprinkling light rain and has been off and on for three days. Not just that, BUT it's freezing cold (53 Degrees). Now, there you have it and I hope this brings a measure of comfort to you snow bunnies. BTW making this confession about my home state, hurt....but I did it for you.
 

Awwww....you poor baby! Since we've been back home the 1st of Feb. it's gone between 32 and 50F, sunny, rainy, snow flurries, sleet, windy, hail, thunder.

My cousin who lives in Arizona is coming to visit Scotland this summer. I hope it's not too cold for him!

Well, and this is strictly between you and I, it gets down to freezing once in awhile here in Winter. But we bear with it because most of us still have cold weather gear we acquired while living in snow country. But, Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha! I have a FB friend who makes it sound like paradise! Now I know.

People assume Scotland is buried under snow all winter. Not so at all. Some areas get more than others. We get very little if any but it still feels very cold with cold rain and wind. We are at the same latitude as the Alaska panhandle (56 degrees).
 
.48deg f... here at the moment...I'd get my 'kini on and go get me a blue tan.....but the neighbours might think me a bit odd being as it's pitch black and 9pm..lol

When it gets to Saturday over there and 78 deg can you send some over here?..this week is forecast to be a high of 58 F and mainly cloudy
 
58 sounds good. We're getting snow right now. Across the water there was a very heavy sleet storm, but it's just starting here.

This story means nothing without pictures Holly.
 
My son in law got a phone call (first one in months and months) from his brother who didn't call to chat about kids and family but only to go on and on about the damn flowers, the trees budding out, the sunshine and 15 degree weather (that's 59 degrees to you Americans) while we are facing 10 foot high snowdrifts, more snow in the forecast and -19 degree weather (-2.2 farenheit). Just having finished shovelling the driveway out for the 'umpteenth' time, his mood after that phone call was even blacker. Sort of like when my mother phoned, also bragging about her weather and I couldn't help but ask in all seriousness, if she had just called to gloat. I don't watch the weather anymore.
