How cold is it.....
Try checking out Lake Siena, West Tropicana or West Charleston. Not to mention the far northwest. Those tours should include looking over, around and behind the nine-course-high property fences.Quote: EvenBobVegas is as attractive as Big Foots backside. It's what stops me from moving there.

It is beyond me, why people choose to live like an ice cube. :)
I woke up to 32 this morning going to a high of 38 with 1-3 inches of snow predicted, which will likely be flurries and I am thinking this is an 'indoor day'. Lol.

This is not the Vegas I signed up for. I have already been Googling this morning for a cheap last minute trip to Cancun. Sadly, with the Holiday Thursday, there aren't any great deals.

There are a lot of Montana snowbirds down your way, kewlj. They'll be back by late April/early May.

Just wrap yourself up in a nice warm Boeing 737 and gtfo. :)
It was 43 this a.m., 54 now, hope it makes 70.
Not to be (so far)... We had to turn on the A/C yesterday :P
people go to work and dark when they get
home. The temp is irrelevant.

Nice and warm at the keyboard, isn't it.
I always enjoy watching the extremes people will go to, to make their ideas appear to others to be the correct ones. lol
If I let people at work do things their stupid way, they will often work twice as hard to prove they were right. Fun times.
Guess thats where the stuff for Windsor went

My point is, what difference does it make
what the temp is outdoors if it's dark. This
was a crushing blow to me in Calif, it had
never occurred to me that yeah, it's Dec
and 65, but the sun goes down at 4:50
and it's night when I leave work. I was just
as restricted there as I was in MI in the
winter.

My work was outdoors. I worked every hour, some shifts well over 24 hours. It makes a big difference what the temp is, humidity also.
But if a person has the luxury of staying indoors and can adjust the thermometer to a comfy temp while viewing the working "folks" through a big picture window, then no it doesn't matter what the temp is.
Also the OP was "how cold is it" not, how light is it, so there is that. Every once in a while I try to post something on topic or pertaining to the topic, not sure why. Just a courtesy I guess? There is an obscure logic to it.

So you think watching people do outdoor
things is the same as doing them yourself.
Why play golf when you can watch it on
TV, right? Do I get 3 guesses which generation
you're from?
Ridiculous.
Wanted to hang out at the container Park.
Usually its too dam hot. this trip. too dam cold.
Finally back home in Tampa, T-shirt and shorts weather :-)

You're doing it wrong.
You're going to get, what, a few days reprieve? And then when you get home, even if it's 65* and sunny, you're going to be disappointed.
Come to me for two days. We'll leave at 7a and head to the woods. We'll spend the next 14hrs establishing camp. Once done, the real work sets in as you attempt to find a wisp of comfort as the temps drop past 20*F and you try to sleep. Come the sun, we'll dust the frost of ourselves and break camp. Then you can go home.
You'll return home so damn happy to be back in the desert, you'll have the best week of your life =)

You are the one with the statement "why does it matter what the temp is". Read before commenting on a post will ya?
If it takes you 3 guesses, then alright. I will give you a clue. I was in 4th grade when the teacher came into class and told me Kennedy had been killed.
an extra suet cake for the birds.
just when I got used to always being under a blanket.
get new front tires on my car, and have to
wait at Belle Tire for an hour with the other
old coots who, like me, should know better
than to wait till winter. Then I argue with
the guy who says the new tires have to go
on the back because that's how they so it
and I tell him if he does that he can come
to my house and push me up my driveway
then. He puts them on the front.
7 above was the high today, not for the feint
of heart.
Quote: kewljCurrently sunny and 71 degrees. .
Too bad Vegas sucks as a place to live.

A beautiful day in Vegas. I put back on my shorts and flip flops today.
Quote: EvenBobToo bad Vegas sucks as a place to live.
To each their own. I know that I would never live in the Midwest again.
Quote: ontariodealerjust got in from the o.t.b....its 3 degrees out.
American or Canadian?
Currently 7F/-14C here in the St. Louis suburbs. It's been warmer than predicted all day as well. We may actually stay above zero tonight.
So this morning I stepped outside in my socks to the pool area, which is surrounded by an outdoor type carpet. The carpet was soaked and obviously so were my socks. You forget about those kind of things when it rains twice a year. Lol

I was just thinking about this yesterday, as I tramped through a snow covered parking lot where the temp hovered around 34*F
There's, like, no shoes made for this. Most athletic sneakers, which I wear almost exclusively, are now mostly mesh. In order to get something slush worthy, you're looking at a boot which is too cumbersome for most every one of my indoor activities. You guys, you have no idea.
Well... there's always May-October =p
Quote: kewljHere in Vegas it's just about 60 degree today and mostly sunny. Just about average for this time of year. But the big news is yesterday was a rainy day. It rained the entire day, not hard but all day. We literally get 1-2 days like that a year.

Sounds awful there K. We have company from Wis., it's 76 and we decided to fire up the pool heater. It should be well into 80 degree water tomorrow. My wife just won about a buck seventy at the slots, that should just about cover heating the pool for the month.
It's good to be home =)
Anyway, if you threw a couple ropes over the roof when the snow is light and come out and walk back and forth with the ropes, would it help break up and bring down the snow without having to shovel?
:p
Quote: rxwineSaw warnings that people should remember to shovel their roofs. (collapse).

Sheet metal. Cut two rectangles of 8" X 24" and one 24" x 24". Curl the front of the 24 up about a half inch, like a ski. Fasten the 8's to each side of the 24 to begin a box. Have the ski part in front (so as not to hook under shingles), onto the back fasten slip-n-slide type vinyl. Attach this contraption to an extendable aluminum pole, like one found on a pool skimmer. Set "box" on roof edge and push up. Boom. Snow slides right off.
All you need is a Billy Mays to pitch it.
Quote: BoulderDamItIt's absolutely horrible here in San Diego. I woke up this morning and didn't know what pair of shorts to put on. I was absolutely distraught!
:p
I always so admire the people who live in
warm climates in the winter. They are
generally smarter, better looking, have
huge bank accounts, luxury cars, and
went to Ivy League universities. It makes
the rest of us who never thought of moving
look so darn dumb.
Congrats! (sarcasm mode off)

Why do you need to be so sarcastic? If you are happy with your choice of living like an ice cube...power to you, Mr Bob. Be happy. :)

Big whup. On a scale of 1 to 10 for lifetime

From what I understand, the Santa Ana's are coming in tomorrow, so we should he hitting the 80's in the Inland areas.
It should be lovely for guys like you down by the beach.

No need to apologize to me, apparently
you completely misunderstood my comment.
I was being sarcastic to make a point.
Never mind.
