What does it look like where you live?

In the Los Angeles area this is what the view out my door looks like. Yes there are mountains in Southern California and yes they do get snow, just not these ones. It’s going to be in the low 60’s today and nice. You really can’t beat SoCal’s winters but the summers are starting to just get too darn hot for me. Not only the summers but we were having almost 100 degree temps in October and November. Not fun. Crazy as this sounds to most of you guys but I miss the winter snow on the ground like I had while going to school in Montana. Christmas is so much better when it feels like winter. Then again its kind of great when every year I go play golf on Christmas and Thanksgiving.

I hear that! I grew up in Kentucky, and while of course every Christmas wasn’t white, there were some that were, and I miss that greatly out here in the desert!

23

How about us guys in the midwest SWAP you guys out west our white stuff and grey clouds, for the sun and the sand? LOL!

I’ll send some sunshine but you can keep the white stuff…I don’t miss it one bit (I’m originally from New York City)

25

I’ll swap any time somebody wants to. I just got back from firing up the snowblower and plowing the end of my driveway, AGAIN. Damn snowplows, lol. A house in Nevada with a pool would be sweet, my pool has had a tarp on it since Thanksgiving (Canadian) weekend.

Lillen,

The pictures were beautiful.

It’s cold and windy here, but sadly no snow. It rained Saturday night through Sunday afternoon.

27

just cold and windy no white stuff

if we had that the whole city comes to a standstill[:D]

No pictures here…probably for the best. Just cold, dreary, old (most of the houses here are 100-150 years old) city stuff, with spots of snow here and there, but no real snow cover.

29

No pictures but here we got 10-17 inches all around, 20 degrees, and more snow over the next couple of days.

30

Partly cloudy and around 60 degrees.

31

This is a really fun thread ! I wish we had a big snowfall here in southeast Ohio. Hardly ever see any really big snow. Lillen , it sure is beautiful in Sweden. I’ve never been to Sweden, but your photos remind me of central West Virginia.

Nice pics, everyone![:)]

32

70F and dry here. We are in a drought.

But we DO have passenger rail service.

33

New England looks alike Sweden.

This was the first snow fall.

Then we got the 12".

Then the 10".

Then the 3"with rain .

Then cold!!!

When I get the time I’ll dig it down to the tracks and let the Sun shine on!!

Then we can resume running of trains OUTSIDE!

34

Umm…Where is here?

35

San Gabriel valley, west of LA, north of Pomona, CA.

36

southeast Texas looks like a lot of mainly oak and pine trees and as flat as a pancake in most spots with an occasional rolling hill here and there…Snow?..What is snow?..chuck

37

Yeah, well, that is where I live…NO wait, I’m EAST of LA. Doesn’t make sinse if you are west of LA but north of Pomona. You’d be East of LA and North of Pomona or you would be West of LA and North of say Watts.

38

Zak,

Dah, of coarse, how dumb of me… What the heck I lived in Walnut/ Diamond Bar and forgot where LA was!!

39

Man, that’s funny.

Sometimes I’d like to forget too

“…it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…” [:-^]

Actually, North Carolina grows more Christmas trees in the US than any other state.
