You'd hate it down here. It's 50º in the morning & 70º in the afternoon. Winds are calm and the beer is cold. Just miserable!

Well, I didn’t think you guys would like a picture of my patio roof half gone. This is far more funny.

Russ, Have one for me. Have two for me.

When you can't feel your fingers, go inside by the fire.

WOW! What a great shot and so appropriate. I am watching the flakes fall as I type. Baja doesn't get these big wintry snowy thangs. Just big sucky floods!

Hey Sharks...It is actually the same group of icicles I popped off the eaves and stood upright in the snow. I was playing with some color temerature ranges in my cheapo software the brown one was shot somewhat straight down, and the blue one is a horizontal shot.

Keep your powder dry pardner. I hope you get some run-off before the next phase hits.
