Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

I'm feeling left out. (Of course this will change)

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

... yeah boohoo, I don't have any snow either.... but in my case, that won't change. :D :p

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Phucking Mexicanos.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Okay, now I feel the need to rub your nose in it. ;)

This is the view I get every morning when I hike up the mountain. Notice the cruise ships and the green golf courses - I took the photos today and yesterday.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

That's one good thing about here - golfers are silenced for half the year :p

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Don't you mean that Winterpeg has 10 months of winter and 2 months of bad cross country skiing? ;)

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Bring it on ;) - if it shuts up those bores with tall tales of their stick and ball feats, I'm all for it. Why, they're nearly as irksome as fishermen :D

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

I don't golf, but did I ever tell you the time I fought 5 big wahoo on a single cast.... or did I mention the time I grabbed a sierra right out of a wave just before it broke on the beach? .....or that we had 5 marlin hooked up at the same time?:D

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

:D :D :D

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

No, it's all true! :D

^^^ If I didn't know any better, I would think that you were trying to take much of the fun out of fishing. ;)

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Very nice.

I noticed. :)

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Yeabut. How about a photo of the barrios?

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

or the lesbians.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

So, you want to see more? This is the beach that I just got back from only 30 minutes ago. Maybe I'll post some pics of a barrio later.

The water in the foreground seen in the first two photos is from a fresh water spring. The last photo shows some of the vegetation growing near the source of the spring only a few hundred meters from the beach.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Thanks for the additional pics, Ocean. They are lovely.

May I use the photo of the vegetation as the wallpaper for my desktop?

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Certainly Judy.

Here's a few more including a barrio shot. The 3rd and 4th shots are of the very southern tip of the Baja peninsula. These photos were taken only a few minutes ago.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Thanks, Ocean. :)

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

OK, now how about the lesbians?

link deleted by moderator; reason, far too interesting.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

I thought that you would never ask.... right after my home here in Cabo was finished, a couple of lesbians came to my door and asked me if they could come in and have a look around (I was already living in it)..... I told them no, figuring if they wouldn't let me in on the fun, then why should I do anything for them. ;)

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Seems a few people want to see more. So it's back to the oasis, in what is a semi-arid region of Mexico dominated by cacti. These photos are optimized to be displayed on a HDTV (16:9).

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Nice pics. I worry that the cruise ship contains golfers and fishers but I'll let you off this once ;)

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

I would be more worried about the "cruise ship virus" (aka Norwalk virus).

This morning I walked/climbed up the face of the highest mountain shown in post #18 (2nd photo) and took a few photos from the top. The places in these photos are easy to see on "Google Earth" - at the very southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.

Photo #1 - looking west out at the Pacific Ocean, at some resorts and at the wealthy Pedregal area on the mountain , #2 is Cabo Marina - the largest harbor in Mexico, #3 - looking east at "Land's End", "Lovers' Beach" and the Sea of Cortes

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

I'm sure you're all dying for an update on this crucial thread. Well, I'm here to tell you that it continues to be a-not snowing in Richmond Hill. I'll get back to you all when winter starts.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

I wonder what the odds are - based on historical data - of Toronto having a green (or brown) Christmas? My guess would be around 1 in 20.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

You think? I could do some googling but I seem to remember more non-white Xmases than not in recent times (last 25 years). (Usually we have had a bit of snow by now, but it normally melts quite quickly again in December, it's after that that the stuff sticks around).

Any yet in Baja?

Global warming, innit?

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Yeah, maybe you are right. My experience is more with K-W, where they normally get a little more snowfall annually and are at a higher altitude than Toronto. These differences aren't big, but they are significant.

The Baja (northern part) can get snow up in the mountains, but I have never seen any snow in the mountains of the southern half of the Baja.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Perhaps. I can't recall ever having a green or brown Christmas in Waterloo, and I spent 25 years there. We came close a few times though.

Here's a view of our mountains taken yesterday:

BTW, the white stuff ain't slush. ;)

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

In that link, the illustrious media source David Phillips says this will be the first non-white Dec 25th in Thunder Bay in history . I mean, what's this country coming to?

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

I edited my post.... I meant that we always had a white Christmas in Waterloo.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

I'd pop out and take a photo of the backyard, but it's darkish right now. Last time I was out for a smoke (see footnote) a few minutes ago it was +9C. (Roughly 52F in case dbd33 stumbles across this thread).

tobacco, in case Rich007 stumbles across this thread.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

That's a crazy warm temp. for this date.... but I knew how warm it was across the country. I have Star Choice TV here in Cabo. I enjoy seeing the snow in the streets (on TV), as I look out at the pool.

... isn't dbd with his horse at this time of night? ;)

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Well it's not all that warm everywhere...

I also prefer snow on TV to the shovelling stuff. But I can't afford Star Choice.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Actually, I don't shovel anymore. I blow the white powder.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

I stopped shovelling too and used a plow on a 6X6 before I moved to sunnier climes.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Heavy, man!

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

I think the temps across Canada are well above normal - well for most of the country.

Re: Arrrghhh! It is a-not Snowing in Richmond Hill!!!!
 

Yeah, I did the entire cul-de-sac.
