Insufferably Cruel (Downright Mean)
Lens: FA 31 Camera: K-3 Photo Location: Our Driveway ISO: 200 Shutter Speed: 1/500s Aperture: F8 
Posted By: Sailor, 01-27-2015, 03:24 PM

My younger daughter and her husband are "enjoying" a brisk winter day in Manchester, CT. It hit 81F here in Lake Jackson this cloudless afternoon prompting me to send her this photo taken by my wife, Connie.

I did the same thing to my brother in Manchester, since the last two days here have been 70 and sunny. He just posted a shot of his shoveled driveway, looks like over a foot of snow. I would not be surprised too be shoveling myself in a week.

I'm in CT and just finished digging out from more than 2' of snow. This photo isn't funny! :-\

be careful buddy, daughters have a clever way of getting even I've found over the years. Nice to put the top down and cruise isn't it.

I didn't even notice the handsome dude in the photo Heinrich, guess I'm just too much of a car guy.

Apparently, the storm wasn't as bad as predicted, but my daughter said they had 12" when I talked to her yesterday morning and it was still snowing.

Sorry. However, I've paid my winter dues and then some; 48 of my 68 years were spent in Illinois, Tennessee, Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio and Michigan.

Hey, Bob, I'll watch my back. It was a pure pleasure to take a . . . . . brisk . . . . . . drive with the top down wearing a T-shirt and shorts in January!

Thanks, Heinrich. It's my pride and joy - I wish the driver were as well assembled and well polished as the car.

But you did notice the girl explaining the Alfa Romeo 4C in one of my "car show threads." Now why would that be??????

Just wait till August - then you can send me a photo of a pleasantly warm, mosquito-free scene while I swelter in place (or shelter in place should a tropical storm be on our doorstep).

Thanks, EM, but that's not a smug look, it's a dumb look which I've perfected for many decades.

Mosquito free? August?

I know these words are in English but they don't seem to be making any sense to me...

Not to minimize the impact but those “flurries” on the US east coast just don’t seem all that bad from my perspective here in the Great White North.

It looks like more of an annoyance than a storm from our point of view.

Just as an aside, if you reverse the numbers from your 81F and you will have the -18C we are “enjoying” here in Waterloo today.

You are indeed a cruel man Jer but you have a very nice ride there.

Not fair, yesterday I was out in this amazing sunny fantastic weather but I was detailing someone else's vehicle (a Mercury Mountaineer).

That's how I feel when I see some of the Aussie membership images being posted here at this time of year.
