I swear I'm so jealous of you guys that got snow this year. It snowed one time here in NM and it was melted by 11am. If I had things my way I would be living in Montana. I love the desert but I'm getting tired of it.

The desert screws me up. I dry up really bad. I can feel every screw, pin, plate and rod in me like it was put in by some hack job. I wouldn't survive.

Man that sucks. I like the dry weather. I was in Houston in the summer time at one point with 95 degrees and 95% humidity, I thought I was going to die lol.

Usually it'll snow 3-5 times a year here. Enough for me to go do some donuts and have a little fun. Usually that tides me over. This year has been sucky though. It's been almost 80 degrees this week which is unheard of for this time of year.

That's how it is in FL too.

SC checking in. Out in it all day everyday in the summer. When it's a 100% humidity and 100* I tend to start much earlier and knock off much earlier though. Cant carry enough water with you on the larger tracts.

That's why you see the 7-3.30 shifts. Imagine being a roofer in that?

It was -2 last night and currently is around 30 outside. I would expect to start seeing 40-50 days by the end of the month if we can keep the Russian/Siberian air masses north of us.

Drill....all you need to do is drive to Alaska this year and you'd be so tired of snow, you'd beg for NM weather again. lol. It's not really that bad, we just got it in big drops. It never built up gradually, just in big drops. Otherwise we are at normal averages for snow, but a bit colder this winter than the last 20 years have given us. It's snowing in Fairbanks right now, but it did warm up to the teens there today.

White...you know I'm very partial to our trucks colors. I agree. With bottom trim painted, they are hard to beat in looks. Without the bottom, it's like a Teal blob. Without the offset, it looks too condensed for me.
