I see ABQ currently in the 70s and a 10-day forecast of nothing but sun and high temps between mid-60s and mid-70s. Meanwhile, those are temps for regularity in the MKE area....in MAY.
Oh, and yes, I *did* willingly move away from ABQ last year.
I will now repeatedly bludgeon my head with a dull hammer.
This has got to be the driest and warmest winter we have had in some time. I'm enjoying the weather I just wish we could get some moisture.
If it was warmer and drier than '05 - '06 that's really something. I remember from Nov '05 - May '06 ABQ rec'd something like 0.16" of rain. It was just unbelievable.
EP, I just can't watch you do any more bodily harm to yourself. I'm starting a collection for your MKE-ABQ moving funds.
I think this is wonderful weather. I am used to it being in the 30s(for a high) back in Maine. We seldom saw 70 before June.
And its not cold here, cold is having weeks of 0 and below temps. I'm thinking this winter is heaven.
ziaAirmac, you started this thread to rub it in that EnjoyEP should never have moved, right?
Tim, will your fund take payment via PayPal?
The weatherguy on my radio station commented this morning that he was afraid the fire hazard was going to be very high this spring, and earlier than usual.
But....we still have March....maybe we could get a huge snowfall.......

I remember that well too - very well. And honestly, back then, as a proud ABQ resident, I kind of almost took that stuff wholeheartedly for granted (the *positive* aspects of living in the warm / dry).
Took it for granted, I did.
Yes folks, the lesson as always: I am an idiot.
For the region in general, surely the moisture and precip when possible is always good. However, many folks live in ABQ (or the Southwest in general) to reap the quality of life benefits that go along - hand-in-hand - with the dry, sunny weather.

Awesome man, awesome. I will be the first to contribute. Let'ssee what I have got here...hmmm, $0.50, some used coffee grounds, and a half-ripped postage stamp. Oh, and a cr**load of snow.
(OK, now would be the appropriate time for some super-wealthy benefactor that has been a three-year lurker of the CD Forums and has "developed a soft spot for that ol' SOB EnjoyEP" to step in, throw a $20K spot on the table, and get EP and fam back to the Duke City!! ).
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some *SHOVELING* to do!!
ziaAirmac, you started this thread to rub it in that EnjoyEP should never have moved, right?
I will speak for zia (until he can chime in) and confirm that yes indeed, this was a pre-emptive, cruel...very cruel...very, very cruel...shot.
What a mean fellow.
I did have the good fortune of meeting personally mr. ziaAirmac when I was in ABQ a few weeks ago and can attest that in general, he's a great guy; however, this cruel thread is a testament to his harsh side!

Of course, Rankin will have to speak for himself here, however, let's set the minimum donation standard at $10K. I get two donors then at minimum, and the EnjoyEP family is golden! Included is a multiple-cerveza round on EP at the Horse N' Angel.
(Just don't make the check directly to Rankin...next thing you know, I will *still* be shoveling up here years from now and you'll see TR in his silver-plated North Albuquerque Acres mansion gloating about the "ultimate scheme"!!! )...

Wait, that's EnjoyEP's forecast. Nevermind.
ALRIGHT, now that was just about as wicked or cruel as zia's original post.
Hey, we have a "heat wave" of sorts - 42 degrees tomorrow!!! Woooooo freaking hooooo!!! Rolling in an outdoor hammock until the high of 20 sets in on Friday.
Argh, I will now dig my thyroid out from my neck with a butter knife...
You called it, yukon. I cannot tell a lie As EnjoyEP points out, we had the chance to catch up while he was out, and when this weather hit, he was the first one I thought of. He's a great guy, and it's meant as a friendly ribbing. Harsh and cruel? Sure! But what are friends for? EEP, I'll make it up to you. Next time you're out, first round's on me

EP...you just need to bite the bullit, sell the house in WI and move back. Tell your family you will buy airline tickets 4 times a year to visit them. (Those tickets couldn't cost more than WI taxes!)
Good idea Yukon, about PayPal. And just to allay EP's concerns about possible misuse of the money, pls send those $10K contributions directly to the moving fund, instead of to me. Here is the web site:
I will make sure the money is spent...efficiently.
