We have been hovering between 85 and 90 degrees around here and it is getting a little old.... I guess it's going to be another Christmas in shorts this year.[8D] Dave [/quote] [(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D] How does one get a Florida boy to understand snow? [;)]... here is my attempt, from my uniquely twisted perspective ...[:D][:D][:D] 1) go take a swim in the pool / ocean ... now you understand wet 2) then stand in a walk in freezer for an hour in those shorts you're wearing (no shirt, or you're cheating) .... that'll give you the chill effect. 3) Next, take those 40 pound sandbags that hold back your floodwaters, and toss them / pu***hem up and down your driveway for another hour, using a large garden shovel (no particular point to this exercise, just do it) ... that'll show you how labour intensive it is. 4) Now, repeat this process 3x per week, for the next 4-6 months 5) if you do all of this wearing rollerblades, while walking on banana peels, ... that will give you the experience of slipping and stumbling regularly 6) add the fun stuff like skiiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, skating, hockey season (usually), tobagganing, snowball fights, hot chocolate or mochas... also winter clothing and difficult road conditions (not fun) and, now you know... still, a bit of snow for me doesn't sound so bad after the hurricane season. Glad you're still here and TRAINing. I need a coffee [^] [/quote] krump, [(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D] Thanks for the explaination.... there is some good news...the high on Wednesday is only going to be around 70 degrees. Brrrrr!! I hope I don't freeze. [:D] Of course this "cold snap" probably won't last long. Actually, we do get snow (about half an inch every ten years) so I have seen the stuff... didn't have to do much shoveling though.[:)] Dave [/quote] Hi Dave9999, Glad to see someone up there still has a since of humor. Over here on the east coast, folks are still very skittish and nerves are frayed. you see it on the road and just about anywhere you go. Start talking about "Francis" and "Jeanne" and some folks just come unglued, others just go numb with fear. You see most of the east coast residence from Vero Beach on down to Ft Lauderdale, have never experienced a hurricane until this year, God what a way to loose your innocense. The last big one that I went thru was Beulah in 1967 in Texas. I did go through David and saw what Andrew did to Miami and Homestead, first hand, but I've never seen a summer like this and hope I never do again. How about you Dave, things getting back to normal but nervous yet? Hope so. As for snow, I grew up in the North Country of Northern NY State and believe me, as much snow as the Champlain Valley gets every year, I think I could take that better than another Fla summer like 2004. Thanks for the weather forecast for Wednesday, got something to look forward to. BTW; Fla Phil, How did you make out this year, any damage????Well, I've got an early morning so it's signoff and to bed shortly. Hope the coffee doesn't keep me awake tonite. Good night all...D
