In Florida winter is the time for outdoor activities. We get a week or two in January that are quite cold with highs only in the 50s. OK, I hear you northerners laughing but that is cold for us Floridians.

50's and raining?! I just spent 3 days in a -40 deg C chamber testing cars. I had to go out side to warm up... and it was 20 deg F in Michigan all week! I need a vacation.

I got a free house (my grandparents), but the price is Michigan winters. There are two ways you could avoid Michigan winters. One way is to become a snowbird. Either buy a house or condo or rent a condo and spend your winters in Florida. Snowbird rents are pretty high but it's cheaper than buying. The other way is to sell the house in Michigan and buy one in Florida or another warm weather state. Living in Florida has it's perks. I'm wearing shorts and a tee shirt today. Honestly I would move to New Mexico or Arizona before I move to Florida. My wife has made it clear that would be a solo move.

Well, that's a pretty good reason to stay in Michigan. I've never been to the southwest. We are east coast people so Florida was best for us. It seems that most easterners move to Florida and most westerners move to Arizona. Midwesterners are split. Everyone I know here is either a native Floridian or from the eastern half of the country.

If it's any consolation it's been quite cool here for a few days. I have to wear long pants and a sweatshirt. Brr!

Denny, stay where you are. Those that move south get weak and can’t handle it when the thermometer drops to 50!! The winters are for running trains anyway.
LOL Joe! My parents, who live in the West Palm area called me and said it was cold and I just laughed at them.

Our turn finally! We got about 8 inches here in Southern New England so far. Beautiful. And, of course, no school for the kids and working from home for dad. Looks like the storm is here until tomorrow (Tuesday morning) at least.

We received about 5 inches yesterday. It was to wet and heavy for the snowblower so I had to manually remove it. Took quite a few breaks so the ticker didn't blow out.

Got about 2" overnight, but the big stuff is coming tonight. Maybe 12-18".
The pups loved it this morning. They chased each other all over the yard.
