O.K. Now I'm really getting ticked. After two days of temps. nearing 50, after delighting in the glory of the first run on non snow covered bare pavement since I don't know when, and with impending races nearing the weatherman informs me of not only yet another snowstorm, but THE snowstorm to push us over the all time record for snowfall in the state. And although it will only take 2.5" to do this, they say we are getting 4 to 8" of the stuff! I'm telling you gang, I've really had enough of this. I mean come on. It's almost April! My first TRIATHALON is June 1st. That means swimming..... in a lake.....that at this rate will probably still have ice on it! I am SO far behind in training for any of my events, I haven't been running ( snow) haven't had the bike outside yet, ( snow) and forget about swimming. Ok, I could have been treadmilling ( hate them!), and I do have a bike trainer ( not much better than a treadmill ) and I've just been lax about getting to the pool. But I still blame the snow!!! Thans again gang for letting me spout off Andy

So Andy, you think you'll actually go home after your Florida Disney trip?? Great time to buy a home you know... Actually I feel your pain/annoyance. I grew up in NY and left once I had the money to go. Never looked back. I hate cold and snow. ( I know hate is a strong word. That is truly how I feel!) I told DH if we get stationed somewhere that sees snow, even an inch per year, or gets below 65 degrees on a regular basis, I am going home to Tampa.
