I don't use a pseudonym, and when I refer to something local I always
explain where I live.

We had access to them in Wisconsin, but not Indiana.

Indiana was not really snowmobile friendly like the northern states, either.

G: There has been constant research in rain and weather control for years. 
Hopefully, some day, we'll learn to control weather the same way we have 
learned to control many other aspects of nature.

Here in Florida, we are having a terribly warm winter. Flowers are blooming, 
trees and plants are pollinating as though its spring, and air conditioners are 
on in South Florida. 
Here is the weather report for coming days on the west coast of North Central 
Florida:


.
Tonight Mostly clear, with a low around 50. North wind around 7 mph.
   
 Wednesday Sunny, with a high near 65. North wind 7 to 10 mph.

Wednesday Night Partly cloudy, a low around 37. North wind 9 to 18 mph.

Thursday Sunny, with a high near 59. Wind chill values as low as 28 early. 
North northeast wind around 16 mph.

Thursday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 47. North northeast wind 6 to 
14 mph.

Friday Mostly cloudy, with a high near 63. Light north wind increasing to 5 to 
9 mph in the afternoon.

Friday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around 48. North wind around 9 mph.

Saturday Partly sunny, with a high near 68. North northeast wind around 10 mph.

Saturday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around 59. Northeast wind around 9 mph.

Sunday A 20 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 76.

Sunday Night A 20 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 
64.

Monday A 40 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 76.

Monday Night A 40 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 
63.

Tuesday A 20 percent chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 72.
..

While some may consider this ideal weather, it's bad for people with allergies 
since such a weather pattern produces pollen and mold spores year 
'roundGerry

2015-01-06 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes
The humidity where I live isn't bad, as there is almost always a breeze off the 
Gulf.  It's far better than the humidity in the Midwest where I grew up. That's 
the "pour me into a bucket the minute I step out of the door" humidity. Nothing 
like that where I live. That's humidity like southern 
Louisiana or Houston.

The thing that is the greatest about living here is how much sunlight you get. 
When I moved back to Indy I knew winter would be bad, but I had no idea how 
bad.  The lack of sunlight messed me up bad.

Yes I am with Curt having lived 8 years in mid-TN in the hot & humid
Cumberland river valley.
Its a big old wonderful world we live in huh?
See I wouldn't live in Florida for nothing. Well thats not true but it'd
take a lot of money and it'd be a limited time engagement. I can always put
on a sweater but if its too hot its too hot. For me too hot starts at about
75F...

No.

That's why I'm here. Remember, I moved back to Indiana in 2008 and lived
there for two years.  Prior to moving to Florida I lived in southeast
Wisconsin.  I know winter all too well, well enough to know that while no
place is perfect, I will gladly dodge the occasional hurricane and live in
the heat long before I ever put up with another winter.

I was in LA for the hottest day there on record, it was 118F and although its a 
"dry hot" it was like standing in front of the oven door all the time all 
around me. Still better than 95F and 100% humidity. I could handle the 
southwest.
Its not just the weather that makes Florida my version of hell...

I will say that I miss the fall, but that's about it for seasons.

Just as people used to ask me how I could stand the winters in Wisconsin (dress 
for it!) the same applies to Florida. Yeah, it's hot in the summer, but you 
just jump in the pool or go inside where it's cool.

Somebody ask Renfro what it's like living in Arizona if you want hot.  It 
rarely exceeds 95F down here.

I sold my snow blower when I PCSed from Dayton to the FL panhandle.  Dayton 
isn't Minot but I do recall a two-week stretch when it never got above zero F.  
Now that I'm back in the NC Piedmont (where it sometimes snows) I just wait for 
it to melt.  I love retirement.

Over the last two weeks we've had minimal sun, unfortunately.  Very partly 
cloudy, if you would.

I was doing some touch up spray painting on a couple of parts for the S500 and 
SL500 over the weekend, and had a tough time getting some sun to help things 
flash off.

Subject: [MBZ] 190D back to legal again


Since I haven't been driving my 190D it's legally inspected status had 
slipped so yesterday I set out to wrest it from its sleep and get it 
inspected. It was a mere 25F when I went out but the car started nicely 
enough. Unfortunately there was some ice on the inside of the windshield 
so I let it run while I scraped the outside, then left it running and went 
inside to warm up.After the ice had some time to melt I started checking 
all the inspectables, lights, horn etc. everything was good until I tried 
the washer and found a no-go. Started digging in and found the whole 
system was frozen up solid. I dug out the bottle and brought it in the 
house. It took a lot of hot water to melt the green Rain-X out. Apparently 
its not rated for below freezing...With the bottle clean and charged with 
good orange Rain-X I could finally hear the pump running but now water was 
spraying out from a white thing in the line, is that a check valve? Turns 
out its plastic housing wouldn't stay clamped, a couple zip ties fixed 
that. Finally the last few inches of hose had to spend a few minutes 
inside my coat to melt an ice plug.
Only took an hour an a half but we finally passed inspection. Then made a 
run up to Keene to get coolant for the Jetta's radiator replacement. I'm 
going to let a local guy do the replacement, its gotten all the way up to 
12F today and since my car has AC the whole front bumper has to come off 
for the job, not a big deal but not something I want to do outside in the 
cold...
