Nope its summer through to Jan mostly and winter in February, cold but I haven't worn a winter coat since 2002. Hm I left it in Indiana, now its COLD there and It snows like... WE called them blizzards, but nothing shut down unlike Texas, if it snows they shut all north Texas down and you stay home until its gone, strangest thing I ever saw. The sun melts things by noon most times
WOW amazing. So u only have 1 month of winter?

We have more than 1 month of winter here, we have approximately 5 months--and I hate it. As Single4 said we feel lucky it will be 50 degrees this weekend here. :(
I am a warm weather person myself--I don't like cold. Last winter I was snowed in-- our drive way had 3 - 4 feet of snow and we couldn't get out also our electricity was out for 3 days because of the blizzard. We finally got out when a nice farmer drove by on his tractor and dug us out.
All of you sound so experienced in traveling--I guess I am too poor to travel, but someday maybe. :rolleyes:
I can live through you guys.
As compared to other parts of the country. Far as I know the only ski's in Texas are water ski's. Now the wind can be brutal and you better protect yourself, 30 degrees may shut every thing down as the wind makes what they call black ice and they shut down all the highways.
Black ice is hideous.
BIM you are welcome to come visit me.
If you are a warm weather person then the mediterrean would actually suit you rather well, such as places like spain, italy and MALTA (my home).
Our main source of income in Malta is tourism.
We have farmers to in Malta but mainly in Gozo, Gozo is a smaller island as Malta is the mother island of the maltese archipelago.
I can't imagine what I would do if I saw so much snow. When I lived in UK for 6 years it snowed only once but not a lot and I remember I was SO excited the I ran outside and bare handed I grabbed a bunch of snow... and OUCH it hurt lol, silly mediterrean gal ;)
Here in NY it is similar to BIM. Typically we have winter from November to the middle of March. And I live where there is lake effect snow... having more then a foot of snow in a couple of hours has been known to happen.
I want snow... Im jealous.
Here in Malta it starts getting warm in April, summer starts in May through to Oct, but July is the hottest month, November is pleasant, December through to Feb - what we call "winter", March.. a very short spring lol
What's that?Quote:

Just like the movies :)
With snow everywhere, jumping into the yellow cabs, walking passed all those huge buildings. Amazing. 1 of my dreams.
Visit the Empire State building, statue of liberty...
When the cold wind freezes the pavement making it so slick you have no control over you car. You can't see it either. When I lived in Indiana on the tip of Lake Michigan the lake effect snow was like a blizzard some time. I never stayed home from school because of the weather in my life and have a bad back to this day from shoveling snow all my life. You can have the snow and cold, but I do miss cross country skiing in the winter.Quote:

[QUOTE=Krs][QUOTE=SINGLE4]Trying living in Nebraska!Nebraska is somewhat in the middle of the US! There are 2 states between Nebraska and Texas! Texas is to the South of Nebraska!Quote:
Where is Nebraska? :o
I actually live 5 hours away from NYC. They get far less snow there then I do where I live. NYC during the holidays is magical. I have only been there during that time once or twice. When they get a lot of snow it gets kind of hairy there because they have no place to put it.
WOW 5 hours drive.
Here in Malta to get from 1 end to the other end of the island could probably take you 1 hr maximum lol
KRS I just looked up Malta. It looks awesome. Are you anywhere near Comino "The Blue Lagoon" That is where I want to be. Soooooo pretty.
WOW I didn't even know that place existed. Malta is an Island, right? (stupid me from Nebraska) What do you do there?
It looks like you could get to Spain, Italy, France, & Greece pretty easily, do you fly there? (probably another stupid question) :confused:
Speaking of NYC... I can't wait for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Is Crete nice?
What is the purpose of Thanksgiving actually :)?Quote:

And when do you celebrate it?
And do you eat Turkey for Xmas too?
Next Thursday, actually!:) Turkey is traditional, but I know a lot of people who make a ham, instead. I think its mostly choice, really. As for Christmas we usually get a turkey breast instead of a whole one.
In my family we each beef at christmas or Italian foods
Red meat is awesome... any good holiday recipes?
We go for traditional HUGE Turkey meal for Xmas.
We start with Soup, Lasagne, Turkey - potatoes and veg, then sweets and lots of liquor ;)
Then all stuffed on the sofa lol
o_o That sounds good.
Chicken Parm then beef tenderloin with all the fixins... lots of desserts and drinks. Gaining weight just thinking about it
What's a traditional American dish?
Sounds good too... yumm!Quote:

I love food.
All that sounds scrummy yummmiiiieeee
Even here in the Med, food is great!
Pecans are just another nut, but good ones. Here's a recipe for it:).

What dishes are popular over where you are at?:)
Thanks for that :)
Well, popular foods here are PASTA, all kinds of pasta with different sauces, such a red sauces or cream sauces, with meats or fish etc.
We love our steak here too.
My favorite restaurant in Malta believe it or not is :- Buffalo Bills ;)
Traditional maltese food is, baked pasta, very very good. Only Malta does it ;)
And also we have amazing maltese bread, for lunch in summer this is awesome. We sliced the maltese bread, smear a fresh tomato on it, add the pieces of tomatoes, add oil, salt n pepper, olives and capers.. and its easy and so tasty. Sometimes we can add tuna.
You ladies have been passing that flask and talking ALL morning, Do you think this is a Holiday? Pass that flask this way will you?
