Is BYC Experiencing Cabin Fever?

need to add that the snow level is down to 2000 feet... VERY rare happening....

You'll have to explain this to me. I assume it has to do with mountains? We have none of those here.

Frogs??? I was just imagining last night what that sounded like again at night. It's a sweet sound that means the frost is out of the ground here.

Well it's going down to 9 deg F here tonight, and just started snow flurries, so those peepers won't be peepin here for a bit....

I always wonder how they can handle the back and forth of above and below freezing temps that we get here?

Spring starts in January in the Ozarks, lurches on in a complicated way, with spurts and setbacks, until May. Then, early in May, there is a cold spell known as blackberry winter because it comes when blackberries bloom. It is a worrisome week for anyone who farms....You have to take springtime on its own terms in the Ozarks: there is no other way. It can't be predicted. It is unsteady, full of promise, promise that is sometimes broken. - Sue Hubble

LOL.... Highest mountain is around 5000 feet... San diego is at about 200 feet in general above sea level

But my home is in the high desert at around 3000 feet.

San Diego has about the same climate as Italy... In winter you can go ski then come down to the coast and surf....

My little patch is between the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific ocean... in a little nubbin of the Sonoran Desert. Yep we get snow but not a lot. Annual rainfall there is 10 inches.. Similar to San Diego... San diego is a bit more humid... Because of the ocean.

Sounds like heaven.

no mountains here

 

[A_Fowl_Guy]

We just have really big hills.

 

[drumstick diva]

that will do

 

[oldhenlikesdogs]

We have bigger hills with mountain in their name, but they are just big hills. Glaciers took away our hills right here in the middle of the state.

the whole region is west of the San Andreas fault... As my Geology Grad Son says... We wont be an island after the big one but we will move more toward Alaska by a couple of feet.

Californias Mountains are much younger than the rest of the US Relatively speeking...
