[Update from Boats]

Well the lighthouse is in another snow storm, after about 8 years it�s �showing� her age and in need of some repairs. The problem is the weather where we live, you see we get a normal amount of about 60 inches of rain a year. That�s normal.. plus the normal amount of snow, and this year its about 5 foot so far. Now at the end of the year which starts in late October till Christmas, we�ll get even more snow. You never hear much about are weather because it is normal for us. Take Alaska�s normal weather problems, if there weather was to happen down here, then some one would say the weather is very bad. �Here�.. I love this part of the country because of the weather. But try to paint a house here takes a lot of weather planning, you watch the weather reports and work around them, well the last few years it �s not been easy. Things need to dry out before you can paint, Right... Good luck of that one. So Cary, if it�s too hot where you live, we have a lot of room in Washington State. And thanks for your help, I need to learn more on this computer.

Good Morning World, How's that for a start. The North/West is still in the snow showing as it's snowing right now where we live "Again". The lighthouse has that 50 year old look about it right now, can't wait for good weather to make repairs on it, paint and all thats needed to make it look good. We count the days it's does not rain here, what a deal. This part of Washington we'll get about 60/ 70 inches of rain a year. Some days we call it painter rain, just enough to piss off a painter if your painting outside. Wind has been a problem this year and across the country the weather is bad, so we're not alone in having bad weather. The weather across the pond is not any better on the London side of the world. We all could use some nice weather. If any one would like to jump in here and say a few words, do so. Make fast mates and ring the Bell. . "Boats"..

Hi Boats,

Sorry for not being more active on the boards...I have a lot of different things going on, and unfortunately, lighthouses have been on the back burner for me. I did get in one new lighthouse visit, which I'll post a new thread about in a bit. Not much snow over here in NJ - I think there's only been 3 days of snow this winter, with about 6 inches total.

Hope all is well!
Cary

2012 is well underway and where is all the people, not hard a word. The lighthouse is still standing after the wind, ice storms passing through here. We are way over on rain so far this year, the last two snow storms did a number on us living away from the big towns, and then again we live at the snow line. any of you folks got snow problems where you live. I keep trying to get folks to say a word or two here, your key boards do work, "Right".. So how was that New Years Party. "Boats"..

Where are you folks, any one out there, knock knock, you can't be so busy not to say "HI".. Any one.. Hmmmmm. Ok. The weather is on us in the North/West, high winds, rain and snow more then normal. You can exspect other then normal weather in most areas in the U.S.A. . Out side this country is another story, in the E.U. you will see about the same as we're getting with more flooding in the low lands. In Japan the ground is still moving where the big earthquake was and still a lot more to come. How do I know this, I study the weather and what the earth is doing, not hard to do this day and age. Well I did get most of the Christmas lights up, but the rest is on weather hold. Thanksgiving night is when I turn it all on, but thats a "Maybe this Year". One day we get snow the next is lots of rain, but thats the North/West Washington area. So whats it like where you live? "Boats"..

Thats right, "Big Snow".. Depending where in north American areas you live, your bound to get snow, lot of snow, some places snow will come down that's not seen snow in years. Been studying the weather for years and from what I;m reading from all the northern weather sites, you'd better be ready this year. Stock up on food and water and other things needed to get you through the year, doing the plan now. And when I say get ready, don"t blow it off, cold weather can make a good day go bad if not ready. Some of you folks live outside the U.S. and may never see cold weather, world over the weather is changing. Find out what your weather is doing and can do, make plans, "Be Ready".. Now get a coffee and talk about it with family and friends. A little bit of ready is better then no ready. Make Fast Mates. "Boats"..

Since I lost my job and the new one requires more hours for about 1/2 the pay, my free time has been about 7 to 8 hours less a week. I also took the position of President of the Florida Keys Reef Lights Foundation and it is like a part time job.
