Roxxie2 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hey Sable! I didn't know that you were an upstate NYer! Me too! My family is all from the Rochester area! I live in New Mexico now but I had my fill of snow for sure!! lol Its sunny, 40, and beautiful out for the moment. I don't mind the cold I just hate being dark and gloomy all winter. New Mexico is usually sunny and bright! It does go down below zero at night because we are over 7,000 ft above sea level! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just a temporary 2 1/2 year transfer while my husband worked at Xerox in the early 80’s. I’ll never forget the day he came home and said, “We are being transferred again. We have a choice, Cleveland or Fort Lauderdale.” Since I had lived in Fort Lauderdale from the ages of 12-15, the decision was easily made. That was 35 years ago. Our house in Rochester was in Fairport and I worked on Brighton-Henrietta Town Line Rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always laugh when people think NM is hot all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of, the Island of Fuerteventura, a favourite Island of ours, never been here this time of they era before, usually in February. Such a wonderful switch from grey and cold for a week. Coming back home means that the Christmas lights and holiday spirit is showing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in the Navy I was first stationed at Groton Naval Support Facility and in the winter we would average 17 degrees below zero with the windchill working on the water with the subs...icicles on the eyelashes etc. I have a friend who thinks that New Mexico is hot all the time and wants to retire to Las Cruces or Mesilla because she wants to be out of the cold lol (she lives on the Santa Cruz coast of California) and I have often shared with her that she will not be leaving the cold in NM....but she maybe didn't quite believe me until I sent her the photos of the ice on the road and the temperature gauge from our car. I, personally, do love the area and my husbands family is originally from Las Cruces when it was still Mexico lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are up at 7000 ft and its not quite as bad in the summer. We did have a couple of summers lately that got pretty hot but we don't even have AC! I did buy a swamp cooler this past summer because it was too hot for me! I would not want to live down in Las Cruces for love nor money. uh uh....lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sable Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 My son is doing a cross country drive from Ft Lauderdale to Seattle and back. Why he chose to do this in winter is beyond me! I’m hoping he is going to see scenery like yours @WyckedWood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qubanqtee Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 It never rains in California - yet here we are with rain (don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for it) but my heart goes out to all the fire victims who are now looking at mudslides ..... it seems this happens so very often here.

havanaholly Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Kelly, I just heard about the tornado out your way; are you OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Oh, yes, although it was a surprise to my mom when I called. All their news out there has it as happening in Seattle. I had to break the news to her that it was only a couple miles away from me. What's funny, though, if you look at a map of the area where the tornado touched down, you'll see Salmonberry Rd. Where that road ends, just west of Bethel, there's a house there with an empty lot behind it. I was considering buying that lot. There were a couple of roofs torn off, a lot of debris scattered all over the place, and since we have tons of trees up here, we had tons of trees down all over the place. Naturally, I slept through the whole thing and didn't find out about it until late last night. But where I was, we certainly had plenty of wind and rain yesterday. We're supposed to have high winds again tonight through Thursday night with another storm coming in, so who knows? We might see another one. Here's a link: https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/rare-washington-state-tornado-strongest-since-1986/ar-BBRb48c Here's some video: https://www.kitsapsun.com/story/news/local/2018/12/18/tornado-port-orchard-washington-social-media/2357505002/ And this was yesterday's news which I read at 3am last night.

You're welcome, though I'm not sure I had much say in it. Anyhoo, here's a pic of the tornado's path (I think it went from the southwest to the northeast): You can see Salmonberry crossing the path of the tornado. If you follow Salmonberry to the left and to the end of the road a couple blocks west right before that large stand of trees, you can see that little house there and the clearing behind it. That's the lot I was looking at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
