Plenty of snow on the ground out here in Sunny CA and reaching low 30s (up from last week thankfully).

I hate the winter, I want it over with and I want to get on the field for summer ball.

I think it's only been above zero for a couple of minutes that last couple of weeks. Snow and blowing snow with wind-chills dipping down to -45 degrees fahrenheit.

I love winter and the snow, even in CA

Inasmuch as I already had you pegged as an odd cat; I'm not surprised.

What is odd about liking winter and snow? Jump on over to Squaw, Alpine Meadows, Kirkwood, Heavenly, Sierra and a few smaller areas and see how many "odd cats" you find that like winter and snow.

By the way, kirkwood is right up the road. Those fricken flatlanders dont even know what snow is. They put on their cute little suits and drive their little suvs up to the "yippie warm fluffy snow" and prance around then go shiver at the lodge until they drive back home, provided of course no snow is actually on the road. If there is so much as a speck on the road, they panic and are "snowed in" Heaven forbid you are behind one of those idiots when they are trying to drive it.

I'm pretty sure you live in the frozen ice tundra, so you know what it is and you still like it!

That makes you an odd duck!

I'm with Wade here--I don't have much use for snow, though I know many Oregonians love playing in it. This actually would be a good time to get to Mt. Hood if you could get out of town. A couple weeks ago many areas hadn't even opened yet. And Oregonians stay all day and into the night when they go to the mountain even though they know it's cold up there. (Some) Californians are funny.

As for driving, most people in Portland turn into idiots on the road in the snow. It's a good idea for us to just stay inside when it snows in the city.
