bluehens Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Look into renting a house in Key West. Been there a few times and that is always a good way to go. Definitely try to get somewhat close to the older part of town near Duval if you can....inevitably you'll end up there every night and getting home can get tricky. cool, good to know. im not going to rent a car so i'd rather stay in a good spot. good thing im only staying for 4 nights. i may have other questions, will let u know.

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 This morning, as I was getting out of my car, I happened to look up and saw a flock of birds. The area around my school is fairly flat, so you have good visability in every direction. This flock of birds extended beyond view to my right and to my left. I'd estimate the width of the flock at 100 yards or so. That part was hard to determine because they were high. There were literally hundreds of thousands of them. I don't know what kind they were, and I don't know anything about migratory patterns of birds, but the direction they were traveling was due north. I don't know what to make of that. Maybe nothing, but it just seemed like a bad omen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe nothing, but it just seemed like a bad omen to me. I see flocks of thousands upon thousands of crows heading back to roost on a lot of nights, though I don't know if they do something similar in the morning. I've also seen a flock of God-knows-how-many starlings flying over 95 one time when I was stopped in traffic. That flock may very well have been in the millions.

packbacker Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 DC folks, is there a list of seasonal snowfall list for your area over say this past 30 years. I am curious to see after a stinker of a winter does another stinker follow or do you make up for it the next winter. For RDU area it's almost always another stinker.
