It was a strange drive. First, I noticed the lack of Palm trees. Then I noticed the lack of green and all the trees looking dead and gray. The radio started talking about "get your furnace and boilers serviced before you freeze".

I was the only car with Florida plates going NORTH. Soon, all the cars were dirty, gray and rusty. Gas prices were in the $3.60+ range. Snowplows were everywhere. Then We hit snow. Cars were off the road. Potholes, rust and bulky coats and gloves, etc. 18 degrees.

I just got in from snowblowing my son's driveway. Rock salt on the walks, etc. Something I never thought I'd do again. Boy...the power of grandbabies!

Weather permitting, I'll be back next week to palm trees and pickleball...

Your grandchildren are adorable! Enjoy your visit to the frozen north and travel back to Florida safely.
