How much snow do you have?

[SusanLR]

But I can't stand being too hot or too cold! Discomfort is unbearable!

No snow on the Gulf of Mexico in mid Florida either. I have seen very light little amounts in the night
twice years ago.

@Judge I never grew tired of the desert in Arizona and wish I was still living there.
I like it the same year 'round. And no killing humidity like Florida.

I live in Southern Europe, close to sea level, so I rarely get snow. Up in the mountains though, that's a different story.

Beautiful pictures, l stopped by the ocean last night, and thought how beautiful. l feel at peace looking at the ocean, even during spring break, l was able to park and nobody was atound.

In living in the suburbs and a micro climate of the Bay Area for so many years, all we had was brutally hot and mildly cool. Hotter than even the high desert in summer. Not to mention an oppressive cost of living and too much traffic and people in general. Over time the negatives outweighed the positives of living there.

Yeah- I grew tired of that, and "got out of Dodge" for good.

At least here in Northern Nevada we have four distinct seasons, less people, less traffic and a lower cost of living in comparison. Though yes, Arizona's desert is mighty pretty as well. It's not all about just the weather.

As for humidity, well...I grew up in Virginia. Going back east as an adult was not so nostalgic as I had always hoped it would be. Not to mention the cost of living and some brutal winters.

No Snow. Early Spring.View attachment 52626

Beautiful trees! I think the one on the lower left might be a Redbud tree rather than a crepe myrtle. Check it out - you can eat Redbud flowers. I rinse and dry them and sprinkle them on salads when the trees are blooming in the spring.

No snow, having an unusually early and warm spring. Here on the south coast of England the daffodils, snowdrops and crocuses are flowering, the early fruit trees are blossoming and the deciduous trees are starting to bud. A couple of weeks ago I was on the beach in shorts and t-shirt, although it is more chilly now it is still sunny.

Non current, but we had some last week.

Considering here in the Las Vegas, NV area (driest metro in the US) it only dusts snow every few years, and is only measurable about once a decade, its been a nice change of pace to have a cooler, somewhat wetter winter, including the city getting covered in snow a few weeks back. However, spring is clearly approaching fast.

The desert fauna in spring are likely going to be gorgeous this year with the extra precipitation.

I quite love the American desert southwest. Its much more diverse than most people realize, and my-word can the wide open landscapes and harsh formations be striking to behold - no pictures will ever do it justice.

We had a bit of snow but it's been sunny over the past couple days and the snow is taking a good cutting.

This morning. The far left is some lawn chairs sitting on top of a picnic table, you can't see the table. To the right of that is my Geo Tracker totally buried, hasn't been moved all winter because it needs a fuel pump.

Since I mentioned it earlier... The second last weekend of May in 2010... Central Alberta and a snowy and chilly weekend... Just in time for our annual church retreat! It was a "nice" weekend to go down to the beach to take some snow photos...

In the 15 years that I have been here, we've had the most snow that I have seen, in northern Wisconsin [USA], too.

It is about four feet in my yards and twice that as plowed from our city streets. My back door is snowed shut.

Are you able to adapt ? Still get out and about?

As a caregiver to my wife & daughter, I stay close to home.

I deliver the free paper (by trike, 15.5 mi.) once/week as the roads are cleared, though.

I haven't driven out of town during this season, because of the bad highway conditions.

Last winter I didn't get out of town much, highways were worse than usual and I only have a compact car

It's possible. I looked up Redbud trees and found like crepe myrtles they come in different color blooms from royal white, Pink, Red & Purple and the blooms look almost exactly the same. I will not know for sure until the leaves start to grow. Will update what kind of tree they are then. Also you can eat the leaves of the wild garlic. I harvest some of the inner softer leaves for my wife's salads & she likes them cooked in eggs with fresh spinach.

Edit: After doing more research on the difference in seed growth of the two trees & inspecting the tree I saw a couple of left over seed pods which are of the Redbud type. Thanks for the correction as I would rather be corrected than give false information.

We have lost a lot but still have a lot. Mid winter I tossed that shelf in the snowbank that is rusted out at the bottom, because I couldn't get behind the garage where I put the rest of the scrap.
