I like to do a box or two when it is cold or raining.

WOW has it ever effected me now. AND why does it happen on weekends. Every weekend it snows. Then slowly gets warmer and by the time it's time for a coin show, POOF, more snow.

I spend more time reading books and browsing the internet looking at coins I'd love to buy but can't afford to.
By this time next year I hope to have even more books in my reference library.

I live in California and we are having a huge drought. We cannot get any precipitation at all out here while the rest of the country in freezing and covered with snow. There has been a recent bump in ebay activity. I have had shipping problems. Several lost packages. Many delayed. The weather is affecting something for most around the country I guess. |

Weather cancelled work today, a snow day, so I shopped on ebay, and actually won two very nice sets are great prices. I got a legacy set and a premiere proof set. And, work is already cancelled for tomorrow, so I have added things to my watch list. Sometimes, weather affects coin collecting in a positive way. Oh, I did get to interact on coincollectingcommunity more than I would have if I had to wait for work to end. |

Like hesgut, I'm in California where we are in a severe drought, no rain for years.
Has not slowed me down one bit cause I rarely travel to my LCS.
Almost all my purchases are online or shows.

Yes, when is bad weather so I have more time for collecting. But is not important for me because collecting is depends on the amount of schoolwork :-) Teh best time is during school holidays.

BUT you can still get to coin shows. Or even a coin store. And by me many can't even get out of their garages to go shopping for food. I'm really getting ticked off about this lousy weather. AND worse of all the Weather people that are wrong, wrong, WRONG almost all the time. A dealer has a certain coin for me and I just can't get to a coin show where he's at to pick it up. Today may be the first time I can even get to a store. AND it's supposed to snow again today. IF you want some of this Weather in California, I'd be glad to pay to have it shipped to you.  Did you hear about that massive accidents on our highways. One contained over 40 cars and several deaths. All due to this Weather. Edited by just carl

Finally it's snowed here again! It had been 5+ which was uncanny and wet, then dropped to -10... and now we have a new coat of snow to cover up the refrozen puddles.
So how cold is it in the USA? Is it true that you haven't got power outlets in every parking lot for cars' block heaters?

We got less than inch of snow down here in NC. That was enough for me to have today and tomorrow off from school. I guess that is good because tomorrow is coin club day for me.  Edited by CoinCollector2012

lol, was expecting a couple packages today, including my first CC Morgan and some other silver. With the snow and ice we got last night and this morning, I went up to shovel out the mailboxes so the mailman could get in to them. Finished up, started back down the drive.... and here comes a state truck to plow the boxes back in.  The mailman was about 30 seconds behind him and just kept going, gotta wait til tomorrow now. |

Ever since this post was started it appears as if Mother Nature said OK so you want something to stop you from coin shows? Well here it is. AND now many people can barely get out of their garages. Many find their cars towed away. Only happy people are those that work on cars that don't start.
So has the Weather ever effected going to a coin show? You bet it has lately.

Oh yes, when it is hot I never buy or even collect the chocolate coins.
