Default To all my northern friends .......

.......your weather is down here in my yard drunk. You need to come get it and take it home.

But, please come back down in March and join us at Sparta, GA for the Old Hudson Side-by-Side Shoot. We promise to do everything in our power to ensure the weather is more agreeable than it is here this weekend! Wind chill tomorrow morning is supposed to be 9 degrees.

You can't appreciate the warmth without an occasional taste of the COLD!

Well now you know how we feel in August when you allow the 98 degree,100 % humidity air to escape to us. Only returning the favor. I always blame it on my granddaughter in S.C..

I beg to differ, Stan. What you got was the pushy neighbor. The unwelcomed guest is still here, up North.

Garry until reading your posts about weather the last few years i thought of your area as a ''southern '' state. I was obviously wrong. Your photos remind me of the winters we used to have 20-30 years ago.

Daniel (and Stan), North Missouri has prairie weather and is subject to wild temperature swings. I’m a Southern Boy at heart and still get disconcerted when my nose hairs freeze when I walk out the door.

We haven’t cracked 21 since early last week. Someone didn’t take enough of this cold air down to Jawja!! We don’t have much snow which means not any ice either. Just cold and windy.
