We've been getting snow steady on and off for weeks now. It's currently minus -4 F degrees by me right now, and they predict colder temps tomorrow. I'm not crazy about driving in the snow, mostly due to the other lunatics on the roads, but I like the 4 seasons, and I'm good with it. Like everyone says, we need the moisture.
It was a lot hotter in Ca. In Camp Roberts when I was stationed there. In the compound 110, 115 wasn't uncommon.
only it was a, dare I say it, dry heat.
