I live in Milford,DELAWARE the town I was born in.It is about 90 miles south of Philadelphia,PA and only about 20 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.Weather on Friday was 70 degrees(not normal for this time of year)and about 42 today(normal for this time of year) ,Sunday,Feb 20.We have had an extremely cold winter which started very early for us in November this year.I am so over winter this year since we have had several snow storms which make life more difficult with animals.4 weeks from today,March 20 I am off to New Zealand and Australia with some high school classmates from class of 1957 for a nice warm vacation.I am so excited and looking forward to seeing beautiful country and hopefully holding a koala bear and a baby kangaroo.This trip has been on my Bucket List for a long time.
I am in southwestern Oklahoma. I live rurally in a platted town-that-never-was (the railroad missed it so it never developed) called Koonkazachey, which is a Kiowa Indian word for "beautiful place". Part of the Wichita Mountains runs through and around our property. Yesterday was a delightful 80 F degrees; today it is 34 F. So, while it's tempting to do a little fur trimming on my boys that were too hot yesterday, today they are glad to retain their fur coats. We won't be safe from a freeze April.
Folks in Australia can relate to my mailing address town, which is Hobart. Our town was named after a vice-president. I don't know who Australia's Hobart is named for.
I notice the elm trees are beginning to show life and daffodils are poking up.

What is snow?? It that the white stuff we see on television during the Winter Olympics?
We are in Cypress, Texas, just on the NW corner of Houston, Texas where it was 78 yesterday. We drive all year round (well except during August and September when its 100 degrees and 100% humidity).

Thanks everyone. I'll keep checking out the various States and other countries from the information on your mini profile that comes up each post. It's very educational.
I live in NSW Australia near a country town called YOUNG.
It has been a very mild summer here this year.
Few really hot days and no hot nights
...which is fine by me because I loathe the heat.
In winter we occasionally get 0 celcius and get a nice frost but that's about it. Don't know what I'd do with 6 feet of snow. Probably complain
.
Love these emoticons.

Okay, Take a map of the United States, put your finger in the middle of it and that is pretty close to where I live. I live in a village called Ithaca, Nebraska (pop.169)which is west of Omaha and north of Lincoln. Lately our weather has ranged from sunny 60*F, rainy 39*F, to frickin cold 5*F. It snows, then it melts a week later.

Like Sonya, I live in Mid Michigan, the mitten that you can see from Space! We're the only place in the world where you can use your hand to point out exactly where we live. So hold up your left hand facing away from you, and we are about 1" in from the apex of the thumb and forefinger.
Australia sounds like a great place to visit.
Sonya - we must only be about 20 miles apart - we need to meet up!

Ruffian - my husband works in Freeland, by the airport. I love those tacos at Freeland Dairy...yum!
North central New Mexico here, just on the eastern 'skirts' of the Sandia Mts.,about 30 miles from my state's largest city, Albuquerque.
This is 'high desert' country, basically...dry, with certain 'desert' features, including 'some' varieties of cactus and yucca. However, at my 6600 ft. altitude, there is also juniper, pinon and ponderosa pine, and a bit higher up, aspen. Natural grass abounds, but coverage is often sparse; much of what grass there is grows in scattered 'clumps'.The only thing lacking is WATER; in years when we actually DO have adequate rainfall, this country can 'green up' and look absolutely beautiful...but that doesn't often occur; often it is as brown as the dead of winter as late as June....
A plus is that the humidity is low, and temps at my house, mostly moderate in summer. That said...almost the entire STATE of NM was enveloped in an arctic blast at the first of this month, with temps going lower than ever before recorded in MANY locales...causing a tremendous amount of damage. I registered -26 Fahrenheit here on the coldest night, and have heard reports from near me of as low as -37 F!!! A fair amount of snow is not unusual over on 'this' side of the Sandias, but those kinds of low temps are virtually unheard of!!! When I ran into my plumber in Walmart yesterday, I THANKED him for the good job he'd done when I had to have almost my entire 'outside' water system replaced in April of '09...nothing froze up/broke!!
I love where I live!!
