.... meanwhile, here in Xiamen, China... it's 30 degrees celsius at night!

That is crazy boneheadz! :shock: The E looks beautiful in the white blanket of snow, but it must be freezing like hell.

Sheniferous, is it muggy in China where you are at? 30 degrees C is hot, but it would be more crappy if it was humid as well.

This might be the universe's responce to my new hawiian seat covers
:shock:

bone

I awoke to the exact same image. Same snow, same black E. (less trees in my neighbourhood though) And it is still snowing like crazy out there! Not that cold at least.

I place the blame firmly on your shoulders, bone. :lol:

damn, I've been running the air in my house for the past week -- afternoon temps in the high 80s.

Same here. Atlanta's been quite warm this past week. Using the AC in the house and while driving my E.

We only receive a little bit of snow about once a year (and then most of us don't know how to drive in it!).

Meanwhile back at the ranch in sunny Florida.....

Air temp. 87 F.

Gulf temp. 79 F.

6mph. E breeze.

Sunny ,think I'll go for a dip in the gulf :P Another excuse to run the E in the sand . :P

no need to taunt us :wink:

rafale...Only 8 hours from Atlanta. 8) Come on down ..Everyone else did this winter . :( ..Another reason to get miles on the E.!! :D

It's not quite Florida, but we're going down to Jekyl Island, GA the last week of May. We love the beach (especially my 14 year old son), and this will be our first road trip in our E. I think it's about 5 hours from Atlanta. Can't wait!

yes, and i have the lethal heat/humidity combination here... it's bad, but only 1 more month before I go home to the nice sunny weather in LA... and my E! ;)

Here in Florida humidity is not an issue ,at least not to us on the west coast. We always have an onshore breeze to cool things off. :lol: What is an issue is mosquitos.. During certain hours they can be a pain in the a$$ 8) Love bugs are present during May & September but thay just annoy ,not bite/sting. :x

8) Hmm, the perfect day in Seattle today! 62 F and partyly cloudy! 8)

Beatbox... Y'all ever have any problems with fungus growing on your E.. :P

All kidding aside,62 & partly sunny sounds great. Any wind ? Wind here makes every day a training day .. :?

Nope! No fungi here, ummmm, I don't think so. . . Nope! None here! :P
No wind today, just nice and balmy! :P Just perfect for the Division Track Meet today! 8)

Yeah, the weather in the south has been pretty nice this month so far. A few storms lately... but we can use the rain.

Yep ..Your right Redpunk ,we can use rain .Maybe we can convince Beatbox to share some of those Seattle showers . :lol:

Soory. No rain for ya'll. Clear and 70 today throught the weekend! 8)

Beatbox ..remember what Mommy said & Y'all wear your sun screen. :lol:

Especially on my bald head! OUCH! :shock:

Your not alone Friend ! your not alone.. 8) I have tan lines on my head from wearing my cycle helmet. I resemble a Zebra . :?

Your not alone Friend ! your not alone.. I have tan lines on my head from wearing my cycle helmet. I resemble a Zebra
Ahh, yes! I coach highschool track. I, of course, wear sunglasses!
Can you say, "RACING STRIPES???!!!" :P

What I hear most.. What happened to your head Dad. ?? :lol: :lol:

BTW - people in Seattle don't tan, they RUST - good thing we got the SOP! We'll blend in by fall this year! ha ha :roll: :P

...............Englewood weather ?? 90... sunny ... breezy ...Perfect beach weather. 8)

Oy - 75-80 is more my Seattle-style-skin! Any more than that and I just melt in to a puddle. :oops:
Even when it's 80+ here tho we usually get a nice ocean breeze off the Sound. I lived in Colorado for a year, but couldn't do with out that salty air! Guess I was born in to it! :)

Nav-E-Gator ...75 ?? We turn the heat on at 75.. or ai least pull out the long sleeve stuff. No wonder all those windshields are cracking. Poor things are shivering apart. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey, when you live up here, 65 is shorts weather :!: Just ask BeatBox :!: :wink:

Hey we are all anxious to see you & Beatbox in those shorts. :oops: Wooo Hooo. :lol: When will Y'all post those pics. :shock:

Delaware it has been in and around the 90s, plus HIGH Humidity,.. super yucky icky hard to breath weather.. just YUCK!

Can not wait to move to Colorado!!

GYPSYTDA... Been there ,done that ...Remember to take Y'all's snuggies. :lol:

[quote:c1c0744e15=" "]GYPSYTDA... Been there ,done that ...Remember to take Y'all's snuggies. :lol:[/quote:c1c0744e15]

Yep Snuggies. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Welcome back gypsytda! Where've ya been!?

So...is that the technical definition?? I thought I was the only grown adult who used words like that...or is that just what my family tells me to get me to stop?!?!

Anyway, had to chime in on the weather thing...just because we have legs so white they actually have been known to blind the unsuspecting tourist...and this nasty habit of wearing shorts with Gore-Tex and sandels...wait that's me again :?

Near 70 today :cry: for me that's already to warm :evil:

jesse

Near 70 today for me that's already to warm
Yes, but in true Seattle form, still overcast! 8)

ALSO in true "Seattle-form" we're all in short-sleeves! Over 65?! My, what a WARM month we're having :!: :!: :wink:
Have to admit I've never experienced the East Coast heat & humidity for myself. What's a good month to visit to avoid getting the worst of that (whenever we get around to taking that trip)?

__________________________________________________ _____________________

Nav-E-Gator... Where in the East? I lived at Lake Tahoe CA. for 13 years & didn't see much difference between it & the mid-Atlantis states. Bur Florida is a whole other ball game. It's a lot like Ca. in the sense that there is a dramatic difference between extreme north & South. They are both very long states with different climate zones. After living at needle peak in Tahoe & then coming to Fl. I felt like I fell into a fire . :cry: We are here 20 years now & need arm warmers to ride our bikes in less than 60 degrees. :lol: I'm in southwest FL. on the coast & it's great weather between Oct. & June. Tends to get hot the other 3 months. But we that are year round residents find it very comfortable all year. Your E will love it here . :lol:

Well, the whole East holds a certain fascination of one sort or another - from New England all the way down. Many many years from now my hubby I hope to motorhome our way around to most every state in the continental U.S. - hey, maybe we'll tow the E! (or what's left of it by then!) ;)
Have you seen anyone post about a nice long road-trip in their E yet? (Like 3-4 states or so?) With gas prices the way they are it's probably cheaper to fly some places than to drive tho! :roll:

Take a look at the postcards on http://coastlineoftheworld.com/sitemap.html

Really nice photos. One thing that strikes me so far, and I may still have a couple pages to browse through is your Laptop Table. That is really cool. Get that somewhere or, I assume you made it yourself?

WmAS1960 (Bill)

OH, when in doubt, read. I have been catching up here by just breezing through. Didn't notice you had a write up about the desk. Really Cool. As a Photographer and Videographer that could be real handy.

Really great photos Eagle. :lol: everything looks wonderful ,including the E . :lol: :lol:

beatbox: hi thank you.. well went off to colorado, found our new home.. (land anyhow, the home will be started soon, and we should be in it by the end of the year, or beginning of next year.. we will move by the end of the summer, and rent whileour home is being built!)

Glowing legs.. ah yes, i actually can signal planes.. now in DE there is a tanning salon every other street.. DE is like a relocated London, we rarely see sunlight, mainly raining overcase.. PLUS hot & humid! I could not tan if i lived on the sun.. some reason i never have been the tanning type.

East Coast, well the wild thing is North Carolina & Georgia are cooler then DE, and often so is Florida.. DE is an extremely hot & humid state... just yucky.. and there is nothing to come here for, it is boring too.. really nothing redeemable about DE.. i mean it, bring a book or something if you visit for some freak reason..

Ahh and my technical terms, yucky yes, absolutely that pretty much covers DE climate, on a good day.. and we hardly get winter, it gets into the 70s in freakin' February.. we might see some snow (if you pay close attention since it melts as it meets the ground, or sooner). .. oh can you guess i hate DE>??

Thanks everyone! Fountain of Knowledge to be found here! Bald Eagle - that is one fantastic website! Will you publish when you're done trekking around?!
Gypsy - so mental note then, do not move to Deleware, right?! :wink: Although I have to say that when I did a year (time served) in Colorado I was less than impressed. Pretty state, but couldn't get used to no ocean air. :roll: And prepare for the wind in the Springs!
I Love Seattle and don't plan to move away - however, I do hope my future travels take me as far as Bald Eagle has gone! Amazing! :D

Yes, they are...but I had nothing to do with it! Just responding to Nav-E-Gator's post inquiring about a long trip in an Element. A great adventure and I'd love to take credit, but my longest trip has only been CT to NC.

Hmm, could it be t-storms! :lol: Sorry to hear that weather in Delaware is so bad. Moving to CO might do just the trick! Good luck on your move! :wink:

Very nice here...no Brood X, either. :) Fairly typical, with highs this week expected to be in the low 70s, lows in the high 40s or low 50s with rain showers "sprinkled" throughout. I love rain! :D Perfect "elements"!

I personally do love rain, and i have to laugh when i look at the weather report.. what i hate is the high humidity that teams up with the rain afterwards, and feels like a huge sauna that you can not escape.. you can feel it even when you go indoor into the a/c...

aside from the weather, i love soo much about colorado.. speaking of that,i have to pry myself away from this keyboard and get some stuff done.. maybe another minute or two (funny how those minutes bleed into hours huh?)

Now & through the remainder of the week....Southwest Coast of FL.

High 89..
Low 68.. Clear, breezy & no rain in sight.
Absolutly beautiful weather for everything out doors. But we need rain ,BIG TIME !!Remember what Mommy said,wear your sunscreen. 8)

Gypsytda, have you looked at this site yet? http://www.eunos.com/keith/ Click on postcards. Amazing Colorado and Utah scenery. Link was originally posted in Offroading (by Paulj I believe). I moved from NJ to Oregon many years ago. Never looked back. Same reason: couldn't stand the east coast weather. Sometimes you have to roam far and wide to find "home".

Not sure how long it has been since you have traveled up here, but in the 15 years I have been in DE.. this area has gotten MUCH worse.. per the year.. insane..

though if you really want to experience BAD traffic just travel on 896 southbound to the beach.. That gets really silly!

Enjoy your trip and your visit with your kids!

I'm anxious to get north & have my kids tease me about the E. :lol: :lol:

Color in the back ??

:o What's that?! Sounds like a form of outdoor exercise! :shock: I think I'll leave that to y'all in the sunnier states. I know lots of mtn. bikers around here, and they all have amazing "fell in the mud" stories. I'm afraid I'm just not that in to dirt. :lol:
p.s. I'm not the one moving to CO :wink:

High today 91- uv index at 10-- Cold front tonight --all the way down to 79 :P :P Heat index 96.. :cry:

oooh yikes.. and humm snow bird.. is that when you get that might be a flurry from the sky?? grin!

well humm DE, well we have hot, hotter, and hottest..

(each with rain, rain, and some more rain.. today we have this wierd weather.. the sky is this never seen before, light blue and the fluffy things are white not grey... hum,.. and no water coming from them.. how odd.. and the temperature is strangly pleasant ok this CAN NOT last!)

with an occassional freak moment of semi cold with potential melts as it hits the ground snow.. ok sometimes it sticks, sorta.. but melts soooo quick.. yet for some reason people still feel compelled to stock up on milk and bread for that horrible snow "storm" of 1 inch.. nooo, egad it is a blizzard.. :D yeah they be freaks here i do think..

of course their driving only mirrors that.. "the sky is falling" syndrom hits when it is rain, snow or hey sun too.. :wink:

No GYPSY.. Snowbird season is when everyone from a snowy state/country thinks we are lonesome here in Florida & come to teach us how to share the simple things in life .Like water,air,ocean,beaches,highways,restaurants,hospi tals,doctors & so on.. :evil:

(we were at Hooters till the AM ) :lol: :lol: The curbs were covered with cyclist trying for shade From Palm Beach south.. Plan on a head wind all the way home. A gift from Castro. --outta the SSW at 15 is to be expected. :shock:

now you know i actually knew that.. just did not dawn on me.. sorry for the mental lapse.. sigh sorry..

Fear not i am so not a snowbird.. give me the cold and the colder and i am good to go.. but this does not mean i do not like those who love the hot and hotter.. some of my best friends love southern climates.. this is what keeps the earth balanced eh??

Well, i know you will keep those snowbirds under control!! (best ya can with out shootin' em down.. i am sure have days that might feel quite desirable!)

oh gosh that is too good.. i love it.. of course i wish i could share the visual i have right now.. you would love it.. smiles!

ummm... I think we have truly shown our skills at creating meaningless weather banter :lol:

P.S. Its HOT in Texas

it is 0915 on tuesday and the temp is 85, humidity of 72 and it feels like a cool 92.

O.K. Y'all ..Here on the other coast of Florida at 10 am, 84,clear, (skin damage in 15 min.) breezy.. Don't know the humidity but after my brisk 40 mile ride ,it felt like 100 coming home into the 15k breeze. :cry:

today's hi 101. gotta love it. anybody want to visit?

Calvin...your on the wrong coast...93 here. 8)

you mean where it is cold. you a 10 degrees colder. that is like an artic wind. i like the heat. that is why i live in south florida. how places can you go for a 30 mile ride at 1730 and it still be in the 90's. with this kind of heat maybe some of the fulltime residents will leave. i can only dream.

What's it like in my home town.. Well today will be like yesterday. Very clear & very hot,skin damaged with more than 15 min. exposure to the sun. Around 95 with a breeze of 10-15mph. Most of the surrounding areas have uncotrolled wild fires due to hot ,dry conditions. But I am not the least concerned.I am turning off the airconditioning & will ask calvin13 for some of whatever it is that he is taking. :P If this makes no sense then read the preceeding post. :lol:

Well it sure "Ain't" May here but June ?? Hot'n hell today. 100 Degrees today, still 96 at 5.05 PM.
40 mile ride :shock:
No Miller time here , Absolute (orange flavored) & iced tea.. :lol:

hot places cold places.. this is why we have such variety.. since some like it hot, some not..

I am a not.. i love the cold...i hate the heat, completely! (looking forward to my move).. insanely hot here too.. ick ick.. humid too!

After 13 years in the Sierras ,I'll take the warm weather.

Things I nolonger say.
I wonder if the pass is open yet?
Do we need chains to get up the access road ?
Who in the hell left the beer in the car overnight,it's a goner.
Honey where did you park the car last night? we got dumped on & I can't find it.
Honey ,call road service the battery is dead again.
Or my favorite, Hell no I'm not digging the car out.It's your turn ,I did it yesterday.

you are a hoot.. and oh gosh do i remember as a child the number of times sodas exploded in the car.. from the cold.. and watermelons from the heat..

enjoy your heat florida.. i will take the snow, cold, and digging my vehicle any day..

I used to rent the basement from a family that did snow plowing, i had a prelude.. they thought i was insane... as i would hop through the snow to feel the lumps to find where my car was, and dig it out.. then go off just driving for fun.. love the snow.. just the freak i am.. smiles! :D

GYPSY ..Everything in moderation. (even moderation) :lol:

I was a snow /ski freak from 1954 ( before Head introduced the metal ski to the USA ),until 1985 when my wife shattered her leg in 17 places. We lived in Vail for a year (72) . I guess we just ate enough snow for one life time.

Colorado is a wonderful place to live and I sincerely wish you and your hubby all the best that life has to offer .

What's it like here in sunny Florida today ?? Well ,there is more hot water coming from the cold water tap than the hot water tap.. 8)
