these pictures have been floating around the internet for a couple of years, with all the snow and ice around it reminded me of them.
I guess things could be alot worse huh?

Burrrrrrrrrr........freaking........burrrrrrrrr
I'll just sit tight and wait for Hueso to send more warm tropical pictures
I realize that this is not severe for some people but should hit the mid 20's here in South Alabama in the morning
May be Hueso will keep up us warmed up all winter with mo pics

Screw that icy crap! The one thing I hate,
(maybe more than BalsaCore), is temperatures below 50ºF... I'd never make it as a Yankee!

I figure that those bare chests lasted just long enough to snap the photo... Now just how long that palm tree would last, with snow laden fronds, is a puzzle.

While all you youngsters are bravin the cold, your friggin parents are down here running red lites, driving 10 mph, walkin slower than a snail and generaly makin a mess of things.
Al Gore's a lying bastard.

Why do you think I have a business in the Virgin Islands and our Annual Home-owners meeting is in February. Let's see some more pictures from San Juan.
My favorite tree???
Palm tree . . . see any? No? we're in the wrong place!
Ice on the creek and the pond this morning and tomorrow's supposed to be cold. Oh, yea? What's today?
Pray for February.
