Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for January 24, 2010

rather have the snow anyway

Picky, picky, Joan!

It makes me feel cold just to look at this.

Are you sure this family doesn’t live in Illinois? This is what we have had for the past two weeks!!!!!

I’ll be glad when it gets back to normal; we didn’t reach 60 yesterday- but at least we had sun…

Why are they all bundled up? Is their heat not working? Wally sure does have a good outlook on things.

I notice Wally is the only one not bundled up, he must love it cold! He must have the heat turned way down. Poor Joanne and the kids! I like snow too but I can do without the wind/rain/sleet. It rained here two days in a row! So glad it’s done!

Mark Twain said, “if you don’t like the weather in New England, wait a minute” He was living in Hartford at the time.

Hey, you don’t like changeable weather? Come to Seattle. It’s been raining here since early November. Except for the week in December when it froze.

Missing Sun? Sounds like the Pacific NW with it’s 9 month rainy season. I don’t mind though, I had to mow my lawn the other day & yesterday it was sunny & in the 50’s!

Yeah, IndyMan, I know what you mean! This Chicagoland weather is all over the map.

Hey, at least it is not OOBLICK

GJ_Jehosaphat, we must be neighbors!

That’s an Oklahoma tornado, I’m sure.

Sunshine, no clouds, no wind & 80 degrees = PERFECT!

I’ll start the truck, you hook up the boat!

Hey Katy—I’m just 150 miles SW of Chicagoland– it spills over–for 200 miles.

SCKS weather has been fairly mild. For December it actually snowed on Christmas eve and Christmas day we could get out. January has been either bitter cold, warm up, and this week colder with a strong chance of snow and I for one am not looking for that. We live by a hwy with bridges and drivers have hit slick spots and out of control.

I live in southwest Illinois and the only weather we HAVEN’T had this week is the tornadoes, for which I am eternally grateful. Snow, wind, rain…can’t the weather make up its mind for 5 minutes?

IndyMan, I’m almost 300 miles southwest of Chicago. If we make Chicago a separate state, can we get the weather to settle down?

Hi Jehosaphat, WereW0lfe and Linda - do you all live in the Seattle-ish area?

Welcome to Colorado!
