on a lighter note...

Yeah, I left out Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada, admittedly they each get snow in the higher elevations. But I was keeping with the thread photo of a lot of consistant cold winds, natural snow, ponds/ lakes icing over, and freezing temps.

I also didn't include Washington State, Oregon, and several of the northern plains states.

For the most part those that play hockey in the desert southwest learn to play in a controlled environment.

When I lived in Tucson the local winter time joke was to go up to Mt Lemon and snow ski in the morning, freezing ones hinney and then return to the desert floor to warm up and go swimming in the afternoon.

I never learned to ski so I spent much of my time at the Tucson Rod and Gun Club, sadly from what another AH member told me is now long gone.
A few people here in the Phoenix valley like to tee and ski. Golf in the morning and ski in Flagstaff in the afternoon. As for me growing up and working all my life in Northern Ontario, I could care less if I ever see snow again.

Hard to believe the top goal scorer in the NHL was born and raised in Phoenix AZ. But he does play for my hometown team, the Toronto Maple Leafs!
Looks like I might have to block you now. ; )
 
Best part about traveling to Toronto was staying at Wheels Inn and watching the Wings beat the Leafs.

In a past life my job came with a suite at what was then the Air Canada Center. As a lifelong Habs fan I was always in trouble when they came to town!

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
