Hello Tim, Yes it's pretty cold around Seattle these days, but at least the forecast looks like getting back to normal in a week or so. Actually, I don't mind the cold too much since I don't have to work outside unless I want to. Also, the mountains are gorgious in the mornings, and the dog poop is easy to clean up. The main downsides for me are my furnace running 24/7 and my shop temperatures below 32F to start with in the AM. I still would not want to live anywhere else (at least for now).

It's getting cold all over, John. It is almost frigid here.

Same here in SD. The radical average high and low temps along with the torrential rains are enough to make me consider buying a long sleeve shirt or two.dusty wrote:It's getting cold all over, John. It is almost frigid here.

It is almost the same height and width, but an inch+ shorter. They have designed the trays to open to the same size (Ht, Wdth, Lngth). One real good feature of this table is they have designed the drawer to be deeper, by an inch. Don't know where they found the extra height to be able to have 4 deeper drawers and the taller legs. But that's O.K. These tables are no longer available.

You might like the 'average temps, but not the real estate prices nor taxes compared to NC!:eek: Also appalachian hardwoods require considerable shipping costs to obtain.
OH! And then there is that San Andreas(and others) fault thingey!

It even has gotten cold here in Southern Calif. My wife and I went out this evening and we had to wear sweaters. We saw a little frost when we woke up this morning, and this afternoon the temp was down to the high 50s.
Ok the state is almost bankrupt, the state legislators are corrupt, but the weather is hard to beat.
