Hi everyone, not new, but haven't posted in awhile. It's winter and cold here near Chicago so I haven't gotten the chance to go out and play Darn Chicago weather. I plan to move to AZ soon! Hope everyone's holidays were swell. Have a good one!

Could not agree more!! Envy others who live in a warm state.

Southern California weather has been in the high 50's/low 60's and I think that's chilly for me :[
I have a few friends in Chicago who laugh at me for being weather-spoiled. My grandma lives in Arizona and the weather is high 60's so that would be a welcome change for you.

yes ma'am, you hit the nail on the head with that one. I'm hoping that I get this new job which involves a lot of travel so that I can to some warmer weather and get a few holes in. I've got a few friends that live in AZ and they love it. Good luck with the move.

I live in Cincinnati and it's been cold (although we have played almost every weekend this late fall/early winter). My mother lives in SC (near Augusta, GA) and likes to call and gloat about the weather there frequently.

I hear ya. Winter is cool for snowmobiling and skiing, but it sure sucks not being able to play golf. Hopefully in about 2 1/2 months the golf courses around here will be open.
Last weekend I was snowmobiling in NE Wisconsin and we rode by a few golf courses. For most of my life, snowmobiling has been my greatlest passion in life, but after riding by those golf courses, all I could think about was how much Im looking foreward to spring and the start of the golf season.

Know what you mean, wife is pregnant and on bed rest this winter so no trips up north sledding (usually 4-5 times a winter and raced sno-x and cross country for 3 years). Now all I can think about is retiring (I'm 33) and moving to a warm, gated golf cart community on a golf course with a nice bar!!!

I'm starting to hate Illinois weather! Only downside is I'd have to work year round instead of 9 -10 months.

Cold down south here around Peoria too. Too cold to play anyway. Have to load up the skis and drive around like I'm going to the slopes! Poor Seattle boy stuck in Central Illinois for awhile...dreamin.

We did spend Christmas out in the tidewater area in Virginia. Snuck into and caught a window of warmth! Got in two good rounds while there. Lucky me!

I hear ya. I used to love winter because it was snowmobile time, but in recent years Ive kind of lost interest in snowmobiling.

Snowmobiling has gotten to be so expensive (a decent new sleds nowdays will cost you $8,000-$12,000, a decent snowmobile suit will easily cost $500 and even helmets are at least $200) and with only being able to ride 3 months out of the year, it makes it difficult to stay interested. Im not sure that Id go so far as to move to a warmer climate. I cant really handle hot, humid weather; but spring could come early and it would definetly be OK with me.

I wish that I was in IL. That is where my other and her family moved to. went there for a trip in the fall. Besides it can't be too much worse than it is is on this mountain of colorado.

OK, right now here in NH it's 10 with a wind chill of -15 (those are all Fahrenheit numbers guys ... don't even want to know what the Celsius conversion is ...) I would kill for even 40 right now ... so, yeah, whatever ...

... with a wind chill of -25 feels like it hurts I mean it it really hurts as soon as you take a breath ...

We are actually being warned that we could frostbite our lungs if we breathe the outside air for too long ...

[HiMyNameIsMichelle]
