I love northern Wyoming!

Well, we have plenty of the blowing, but no moisture. Really drying things out, and darn tired of 15 to 20 MPH winds day after day after day. Hopefully it will warm up quickly out there and melt the snow. April snowstorms bring May flowers!

Maybe they CANCELLED spring for that area to try and discourage the California Immigrants !!

Ugh. Praying for you guys to get some of this wet stuff. Hate to see you have a bad fire season!

If only that worked. My property taxes jumped 30% this year thanks to all the left-coasters moving to the area and buying houses at above market prices!
Hot, and dry as a popcorn fart in west Texas.

Its hotter than blazes here in Saint Petersburg, the temp is 85F with 73% humidity. I’m going to go downtown this evening and go into Tampa Bay.
I miss snowy weather and cool rain, but I get your point. It’s late in the season for snow.

There is a madness going on in Florida with real estate prices and property taxes. The American Dream of owning your own home around here is dead.
PS: I have passed through Wyoming a few times, and it looks great. I sort of remember Green River, but it’s been a long time. And I was on the Interstate, so I didnt get a very good look at things, but I liked what I saw.
Magnificent. I figured that the Green River area was great, so I looked up some shots.
OK, I’m done.

I was actually born in Oldsmar, and spent three decades in Florida (mostly the Tampa Bay area) before moving out here. If you drove across Wyoming on I80, you went through the least scenic part of the state, yet it still has some magnificent views! If you ever make it out this way again, give me a heads-up; love to recommend some epic drives, cool sites, and decent places for vittles. Heck, the wife and I could meet up with ya' and buy you a beer (or root beer if you don't do the alcohol thing) and shoot the breeze. Oh, and if it makes you feel any better, we'll likely be hotter than you by the end of next week, and "affordable housing" here is code for $350K ("low income" is a $275K manufactured home duplex)!
93 degrees in the shade here today.... .
Oh, the audacity of Americans moving freely around America!
Maybe if the Wyoming homeowners weren't so greedy and insisted on selling their homes strictly at market price, your property taxes wouldn't be skyrocketing.
But, no, silly me, it's got to be California's fault. Again. Always. SMH...
Yikes! I’m at the beach today. Lots of people in swimsuits, and the AC is on high!
I know you Californians secretly love to take the blame for the real estate boom; but you know such places as Franklin, TN or Mercer Island outside of Seattle; just to name a few, have more expensive zip codes…. smh…. :)
Heck, try moving to Santa Fe, NM…
Son ended up going through MONTANA to get past Wyoming last week. I think he's returning by way of Idaho and Utah. Wyoming is NOT the place to be lately.
Where's the closest beach to Dallas?

Whatever your opinion on California, it’s an amazing state.
They must have really messed it up big-time, to have so many people, rich and poor, fleeing for other states.

Hmm, could've sworn I wrote "left-coaster", not "Californians". I guess I was under the mistaken impression that there was more than one state over there. Oh, and just for giggles, try looking up the latest news from Portugal about the influx of folks from America. Good reading.
Yes, you did say "left-coasters" (when replying to Colonial Girl's post regarding Californians). But that's semantics. The other side of the equation remains...
"Frost warnings northern Mn."
Not frost but high 30's predicted in north MO. My baby soybeans may need sweaters.

You & I should meet at Ricks's on the River and talk Rugers over a few dozen oysters sometime.

It is not the first RED State where people from Liberal Demorat states move in, then prices go up and then they want too change all the laws to resemble the sewer they just left! I lived in Scottsdale for 13 yrs, and people form Calif., like it or not, were not well liked, for those reasons. The Calif person always thought they were smarter and better than everyone else.
Enjoying that special time of year with the house windows all open. Fresh clean air, gentle breezes blowing the curtains, no costly noise of the furnace or A/C running. Fall asleep listening to the tree frogs & wake up to song birds.
A traditional late spring in Ky. that we don't seem to get as often these days. Thinking it was just a year or two ago that we would be running the heat one day & have to go to A/C the next.

Same here in the Upper Peninsula “next door”. Had to cover the wife's plants Wednesday night, and will be doing the same thing tonight and tomorrow night

You are lucky. In the Spring we have that on a daily basis.
Heat at night (40s) and A/C in the afternoon (mid to upper 80s).
FWIW & YMMV, but I'm thinking about leaving Arizona and maybe heading up to Wyoming, for similar reasons! :-)

I have lived in Northern California most of my life. It is a beautiful state with great hunting and fishing. Plus lots of other things to see and do. I will be honest with you the Dems are destroying the political landscape. Diesel for my truck is close to $7.00 a gal. But the libtards keep voting the same tax and spenders into office. The state politicians are so anti gasoline that they can’t even take off the gas tax to help the working people. God Bless America

My spouse Ashley was born in Aurora, Mn; We went there one year to visit Dad; Ashley said two weeks good for visiting that area of Mn; The last week of July and the first week of August.
Population was listed at 1842 when we visited, saw a recent note about Aurora and it said Population 1492.

I would like that, but I am afraid that I am at the end of the line. My health is awful and getting worse, sometimes my BP is 200/100.
