Chatty Kathy thread for the week of December 3rd 2007

First comment on the chatty post!

well we FINALLY got some rain in southern California a few days ago!!!! about time

made ice all over my driveway... 2 to 3" of snow, topped by about a half inch of sleet, all turned into a block of ice by freezing rain. That's Iowa this time of year...

I'm glad you got some in my area of tx we only got .02 inches from that same cold front.

We got a little bit of everything in western MI. The snow, sleet, rain, made an interesting drive into work today.

It's been a strange weekend in the Eastern Washington, too. Snow, wind, rain, more wind, bitter cold, then relative warmth.

I can't tell if I'm going to burn up tomorrow or freeze my butt off. Or get soaked or be blown away.

With all the great GPS technology, we're still stuck with unpredictable weather.

We live in Georgia, but my son went to college in Iowa. He had to make major adjustments!

In Georgia, we shut everything (work, school, etc) down on just the promise (note, I didn't say "threat") of snow or ice.

I used to really love visiting Ames. That is such a great town. I might retire there someday.

One thing's for sure, it's COLD in Connecticut!

In NC (and VA, too) just the mention of snow (even flurries) seems to send half the population rushing to the grocery store to buy milk and bread. I've never understood why... snows here seldom last more than a day or so, and are seldom deep enough to keep you off the roads for more than about a half-day. So where did the idea that "We'll starve to death if it snows" come from? I think I could survive that long on the crumbs in the bottom of the toaster.

6 inches+ of snow in Chicago expected tonight. I hate snow.

It's cold here in NJ. We've had light snow most of the afternoon.

Live in NYC and sure is getting cold.. btw my home town is milw wisc!

Well, maybe not quite that deep. But we have about a foot of snow in the yard now.

I wish it would snow in GA, haven't seen a good snow here in a few years

Had a little bit of ice the other day, but now just a slight dusting of snow. Gusty wind and very cold!

76 tomorrow and lots of sun. I also can't stand snow. Lived in it too long in Cheyenne, WY and Wichita, KS.

the temp hasn't been too bad, but the wind in NYC has been brutal the last couple of days. that's what makes you feel the cold!

Woke up to -5 this morning. Snowed and sleet on Monday. Temps unusally low for this time of year.

Love the winter sweaters and coats, hate the cold.

My daughter moved to Tucson in August, my brothers live in Houston and California, brother in law left for Yuma in September...mmmmm they might be onto something.

Time to get more wood for the woodstove so the utility company doesn't get all my vacation money.

Yeah, VA is pretty bad. The mention of snow and the schools close down. You have to remember though that we virginians can't drive worth a darn!

I don't buy bread or milk (can't stand either). But I do rush out and make sure that I have enough beer, coffee, and snacks!

After living for 62 years in MA & NH and then moving to FL I can say without hesitation :

"I DON"T MISS THE COLD & SNOW !"

I'll just see how pretty it is in photographs or on the TV !

I think they said they got snow flurries here about
40-50 years ago !

We got flurries coming down now...wasn't expecting any and it has been going on for about an hour now.

I Drive School bus, and we love Snow days..We got about 3-5 inches this morning..and it came just at the right time to call off School. The roads are much better now and I am sure the kids are all off shopping. I am sure the Stores love it..

Thats why i left there...... hate that stuff.

Last time for me Ken was in 89 and it snowed 1 inch
roads closed, bridges closed, nothing moved for 3 days.

On long island as we speak!

Strange as I'm just north of you in CT. Nothing coming down here.

Surveys are done every now and again here in town;

Consistently the number one reason people love coming to Albuquerque is because of the great weather.

We get all four seasons but none of them are extreme. As I say this looking out my office window it looks to me like we are in for some bad weather today

It was 70 degrees ( new record ) in Denver on Monday 12-4.

How's that for global warming?

dd

its going to rain in cali during the weekend =[. i dont like driving in the rain.

This is a test - wanted to see what happens if I don't put something in the subject block.

Now I know, it is filled by the first part of the comment section. How about that??

Just got 8 inches of snow here! Evening commute was a mess. Looking forward to use my GPS when i visit my folks in a a couple weeks for Christmas. Stay warm everyone!

You have to put something in the subject if you are quoting someone, but not with a reply.

So far this year we in the middle of the world... and where the world started from... the Garden of Eden must not be very far from me.... here in Wisconsin...

We have gotten 11" of snow and it's supposed to snow today, and Saturday and Sunday. Whooo Hooo... let it snow, let snow, let it snow...

and watch the snow angels come out! lol

Thanks for all your hard work to make and keep this site...

Send some of it east. Extreme drought here in central NC, and we're on water usage restrictions. My son lives in Atlanta... Lake Lanier is almost empty, and they've only got like a 2 month supply of water left!!! We're a little better off here in Greensboro NC.

Got about 1" of snow here in SE PA it was mixed with rain and sleet. Nothing like trying to get that frozen stuff off your windshield in 25° weather with 9° wind chill first thing in the morning.

OK AF - tell me what that subject means! lol as you would say.

Asdfjkl; are the actual home keys on the keyboard

He's obviously left handed!

Good grief!!!

No matter where I turn, I see GPS on sale.

I bought a Magellan 2200t last October from Buy.com at what I thought was a bargain price ($169) with a $20 rebate which brought it down to $149. In the process of learning how to use it, I found POI-factory on the web and realized that there are better ones out there although more expensive. Not wanting to spend more than I had to, I felt that the 2200T would be OK despite the Magellan support issues and the older map installed on it. And so I settled down to enjoy it, despite the ads for discount Garmins and Nuvis all over the place.

Well, just a few minutes ago, I just saw a Sears ad for a Magellan Maestro for $149. Oh well...

I should have known that - can't see the forest for the trees.

I wanted to post something so I could become an active member but can't think of anything to say....

Answer a question for me if you would...

I see you have a c330 and have been a member for almost 2 weeks.

What map version came with that c330?

You can ask / say anything and someone will answer you in a very nice way.. Thats why I like it here ... Great USERS .. I would like to Thank everyone for making this place so great to want to keep coming back to..

Hi, all. I just joined - this looks like a pretty cool site!

I just bought a Nuvi 360, which I'm very impressed with. Anybody have any suggestions as to things I should do to make it bigger/better/faster/more?

Thanks!

Here is all of the discussions that have gone on about your unit. http://www.poi-factory.com/search/node/%22Nuvi+360%22
Looks like you have lots of reading to do:P

Welcome to the group, it is nice to have you here.

Miss Poi

Wow! What a good observation, you must work for the FBI. I am severely left handed.

Welcome to the Nüvi Zombie club!!!! You will soon find yourself addicted to this site, GPS, and Nüvis
