Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

nope, different folks, Aaron; these were in daughter's wedding party.

The friends that travelled all over AZ for 3 months last winter are going to Spain this spring...for several months.

Other friends are spending ALL WINTER in Melaque, Mexico.

Nice that they all send pics.
I write back "hug a palm tree or two for me". :lol: :lol:

Aaron, how about those folks whose blog you followed...the ones in the RV who posted daily from AZ?
Are they on the road again this winter?
I sure enjoyed reading theirs and seeing those fabulous photos (including the wild donkeys).

...in between plowing driveway, shovelling sidewalks, scraping windshields...you know, normal winter stuff for those of us who never go away :|

W and I were house sitting in Belize for friends who live there who went to Panama for the holidays--to escape the cold in Belize. They had a great time in Panama which they said was warm!

I still follow them everyday with coffe, he's like me in some ways. He has a sense of love for the same country I like so well. Loves the little towns and the people that live there. :D

Looks like everyone is enjoying far and away places while we enjoy the cold. :lol:

Aaron,

Thanks for the reminder of the name of those folks.
Will catch up with their travels over a few coffees; they take such great photos.
Right now would be nice
John, I'll choose Wednesday when our HIGH is expected to be -15C.
Damn those arctic outflows from Alaska or Siberia or wherever.
Somebody said Moscow was 0C today (while we're -11C) :?

Nice pics, Barb! Panama City is supposed to be very cosmopolitan, with a very nice historic district.
