They still hunt (it's in their DNA), but they usually come to the deck to refill their tanks. |

We had a small hail, rain, and lightning storm, the lightning took out something at a substation so we were without power for about two hours, not a biggie or anything, but it sure makes you know how much you depend on electricity.

Thursday we got 5" of snow which slumped down into an inch or two of slush. Yesterday it was 40 F, so we opened a couple of windows and aired out the house. Cindy Hamilton |

We have an emergency generator here to continue operation of hallway lights, elevators and garage doors so if it goes for any length of time, I can drive down the road a few miles to a parking lot in an area where they still have power and pick up a signal. |

I guess you have a screen door? I couldn't leave my front door open as there isn't a screen. There are screens on the back doors but they don't fit well at all. There are a lot of lizards here. Spring is coming so they are are becoming quite active. They won't hesitate to find ingress through an ill fitting screen or an open door. My neighbor left her sliding door open and told me she now has a lizard residing in one of her large *indoor* potted plants. She's named it "Liz" and joked she has a pet. (She's a little crazy.) I feel for people who have to deal with snow every year. When it snowed here in January (about 4") it was a treat. I wouldn't want to have to deal with it in huge quantities every year. It was in the 80's here last week but not at all humid. Perfect weather! This weekend it's in the high 60's. Still quite comfy and yes, windows open except when the pollen is blowing all over the place... it's been very breezy. Jill |

We're talking about the weather. No snow where joan is. None here, either. So she could leave the front door open. I'm braggin, too. I've had the windows open, haven't had to run heat or AC. It's been "sitting outside on the patio with a book" weather here. A tad windy (I have to use a hatpin to keep my hat on when I sit outside). I do feel sorry for the folks who have to deal with that much snow. It's probably not over for them yet this year. Jill |

The snow we had was not horrendous, about 8-10", but it was right about 32F, so the snow was wet and heavy, hard to shovel and a real work out for the snow blower. It's early March, so we are not out of the woods yet. The year I worked on a road crew we had to plow snow in the third week of April. It was a freak storm to come that late, and it was a serious amount of wet heavy snow. I was called in at 6 pm and plowed until 8 the next morning. I was in first and second gear most of the time, tearing along at about 10 mph. I went through through tanks of fuel that night. When I was in Tybee Island last week one of the local asked if we would see snow when we got back. He said he didn't know why people would live up here. I asked him what it was like in the summer there. He said 100 degrees and 100% humidity. I told him I would rather put on a sweater and a jacket than deal with humid 100 degrees. |

I can stay inside and run the AC in the summer. I never have to shovel or blow snow. And hey, sometimes the temps surprise you. Occasionally a nice thunderstorm will blow through in July and temps will drop into the 70's. Sitting outside weather. I really would not want to have to deal with snow every year. Did you buy any grits to take back home? Did you ever try shrimp & grits? How about the she-crab soup or Frogmore stew? Jill |

I don't like shoveling snow, but it's worth it to me to have cooler weather. When the weather gets much above 75, I go inside and turn on the air conditioning. I don't mind the really cold winter weather, when it's too cold to snow. Cindy Hamilton |

That's a common phenomenon. It's called a "hill". If it's a lot higher, it's called a "mountain". |
