The blizzard on the east coast...
Went swimming today just after the blizzard. There were few people, though more than I expected. Later I was surprised to see a noodler joining. :D The water smelled fishy (really as if there was dead fish in the water), wonder why :cool:
I swam with no problem at all during the blizzard...........did I mention that I am here in Pasadena, California?:banana:
Sorry no white Christmas for you :(
I had plenty of white Christmas's when I was growing up in Newark, NJ. Now, if I want a white Christmas, I drive two hours to Big Bear, CA and have all the snow I want.
White Christmases are overrated.
Agreed. I grew up in San Jose, California and essentially only saw snow when we wanted to (driving to the Sierras). I've lived in the Snow Belt pretty much since 1977. I've grown accustomed to it, but would still prefer to swim outdoors (or work on my car without contributing more to global warming or ride my bike without needing snow tires or hand warmers) year-round.

That's just 'cause you're from the Seattle area. Come over the mountains to the east side of the state and have lots of white stuff all winter long! :applaud: :groovy: Every morning I wake up and either have to brush off the snow, or scrape the ice of the windows to go to practice.
Not really during the blizzard but right as the snow started coming down. The pool was crowded, it seemed that a lot of other people wanted to get in a swim before it got bad out so they could stay home and hibernate as well!
My pool was closed. My street is still not plowed today! Trapped here with 3 kids and cabin fever. I am trying to visualize shoveling as type of core conditioning.
Not if you have never had one. This past weekend was my first white christmas.
Mine, too! It was the first time in 130 years that it snowed on Christmas in the Atlanta area.
As a (Southern) California girl who grew up in the sand and surf, it was only the fifth time I had ever been in snow; second this year. It took 40 years off my life, just like that! I felt like a kid, again, throwing snowballs!! :bliss:
Our blizzard went bust but we had high winds. I went swimming with the team at 3pm in a bubbled in pool. I could see the lights swaying with the wind gusts. It was freezing when I got out and so painful.
