Thanks for making me depressed Okisteve, I have to go to 2 of the cities on that list next month.

What's that white stuff?

[Asshat]

I kind of miss it though. It's been so many years. I have these "Christmassy" thoughts of carrying in firewood passed the "real" tree, the smell of the wasil bowl and fresh pine blending delightfully with freshly baked bread and a lovely ham in the oven.

Okay. I'm over it now.

[okisteve]

Ummm. As far as visual beauty, not much can beat OR. I've gotten used to Okinawa but it's not all that lovely unless you're looking out to sea.

Where I grew up, we could always see at least two volcanos. I miss that very much. I haven't seen the PNW since 1991 on a short visit.

I've been looking at home prices there. Nothing is as I remember it, and it seems like a bad (expensive) place to retire. My mother is in S. WA and enjoys it. I do miss it.

[okisteve]

I still own a house in the Rogue Valley but if I ever go back it would be to the coast. Home prices have risen there a lot too though but I could swing it when I sell.

I miss snow:(

Of course I don't miss the cold with the lake effect breeze making it a chilly -30F.

[Tempestuous]

We are supposed to get 5-10" on Christmas eve.

Kinda excited about actually having a white Christmas.....had a couple of years where there was week old snow or even 4 days old but The night before will be nice.
Hope it really happens and that the weather guy isn't just leading me on. :D

Though I do miss being able to go to the beach on Christmas day.

No kidding. Iwas there in chi town for just a little and i hated that funking wind. brrrrr.

[P_chan]

Imagine working on the lake, outside, during a blizzard with -40 temps. The whole time your standing outside waiting for casino junkies who still try to come to the casino in those conditions to valet their car:thumbdown:

[Fonze]

Is that what you did?

[P_chan]

Yeah I was a valet runner and we had to stand outside all the time and we were right by the lake.

[Fonze]

I remember about 3 years ago the Navy was giving people pay incentives for choosing that area for Duty cause no one wanted to go there for that reason.

[P_chan]

Hell they can pay me extra to go back home. Cost of living is really expensive though.

[Oxmix]

More snow today and windy also. If you spend any time outside you begin to look like Nanook of the North. :D
