ADHD,.....interesting.....I grew up in southern California & through most of my married life, we owned a time share condo in down town Jackson Hole Wyoming.....spent several weeks there every winter skiing at the village......I so love Wyoming. Looking back....the many winters when we were out skiing in the -10F temp.....would skii a slope then come into the cafeteria & thaw out the feet.....the numb tingling....ouch. Remember one night we were out walking & couldn't figure out why it was hard to breath.....came back to the condo & had the TV weather on....it was -40F....no wonder my lungs were crackling when I breathed

Remember the first year we bought out condo.....we went there in September....let my parents have the condo & my husband & I went out backpacking in the Tetons.....the weekend we drove home to California, the snow hit......just missed....don't think my pup tent would have been good in the snow.

I loved driving there as I always enjoyed driving in the back country (as far as the roads were open in the winter)....the moose that jumped out in front of my car.....she was strolling along at 2 mph....kept looking back over her shoulder.....to see why I was still behind her...lol. Love the cross country skiing & snow shoeing......always love the winter.......Wyoming in one of the most beautiful states....know it doesn't all look like the Teton county.

I moved from California to Kentucky a few years ago when I left my husband.....I enjoy the winters here too....they are cold....but not at cold as Wyoming....we get snow.....have had it last a week, but mostly just lasts a few days at most......It's beautiful too & works much better for my horses than going from the warm California desert to the ice cold northern states.

We had it really cold last week....& I don't have my heater working yet....they hot wired it for AC at the end of the summer (never used the AC this summer either).....I had to use my room heaters earlier in the week as it was in the 30's already....earliest winter so far.....it's supposed to be a very cold winter...can't imagine it being any colder than when we had the ice storm last winter.

So that's the state of the weather here in KY.
