This is what it looks like here right now (picture will change with time). Typical CA sunshine, though it was raining this morning.

You say that now, but wait until it's a hundred degrees and humid in August, and you want to go skiing... Smile

rosborne - I vote for the winter view. Definitely the one my dogs and I prefer.

I like the fact that it changes. When I used to work in San Francisco I was amazed at how consistent the conditions seemed. Sure it went down to forty degrees at night in December, and way up to seventy degrees in July, but mostly it never changed enough to notice.

I think I have an Autumn pic of the driveway. Maybe I'll post that as well.

Yeh, the skeeters are a problem. The summer pics look lusciously green, but you don't get bit looking at pictures Smile

Nope, I'd want to blast down those nice twisty roads in NH on my motorcycle.

I can't wait to go snowboarding, though. Maybe NEXT weekend.

I lived in California for two years before I could detect the change from spring to summer, or summer to fall.

It's all in the length of shadows.

Sounds great Smile I had a Honda Nighthawk 750 a few years back and country roads in summer were the absolute best. I loved driving in the evening, when you passed into and out of those cool patches that smelled like woods.

Then I hated parking the bike, getting out of my leather jacket before I sweated to death, and then swatting mosquito's. Once you got going, stopping was not a good option.

All this f'n snow crap made me just get on the horn and expedite the San Diego trip in March.

I can't wait. Heard it's the good time.

I hear you rosborne. I never ride without full gear, so even stoplights are miserable. I'm going to buy a mesh jacket for next season. It felt nice when I had my first bike was stupid, cruising around in a tank top, but not a smart option.

Rosborne, the Winter view is just beautiful. It made me sooo homesick for the years I lived in NH. My access road looked just exactly like that. It looked much different from yours in the Summer, though. Unpaved gravel, for one thing. There's nothing quite as pretty as snow, as long you don't have to go out in it much.

Here's another nice thing you get in Winter, sunset through naked trees Smile

This is from a roadside in Mont Vernon NH, probably one of those nice little roads to motorcycle on in summer Smile

"We have too much snow (whine). We can't get to work (whimper). It's cold and slippery (whiiiiiinnnnnnne)"

Get over it. Here in California we've had 20 feet of snow in the last month alone. 20 FEET!

we've had no meltage this week -- piles are still as high (if not higher) than they were on monday...

They're higher, RP, because the plows have pushed them all into these six-foot high (a very slight exaggeration) towering bastions. And temps in the teens means that nothing much has been melting.
