Almost needed sanding trucks today when someone left the sprinklers systems on last night over by the hospital. The trees, bushes, flowers, and grass were all ice covered and looked beautiful but it made the roads pretty dangerous.

Last year we forgot that the sprinklers weren't shut off and one morning, well, let's just say our hibiscus bush was a winter wonderland.....

This time, the sprinklers are OFF....but alas, the damage from the cold has still happened.

TOM, GET DOWN HERE......NOW!!!

Winter looks so much different when you don't ski any more. Can't wait for February to get here. Then it's TV here we come!

I don't care how cold it is up north, in the midwest or back home, I'm sick of the cold. I want FLORIDA weather and this cold stuff ain't it!

The only thing I like about cold weather is snuggling under a thicket of blankets.

Isn't it great though to look up the weather on the internet and see all the snow they are having back in your hometown. I'll take this weather over that anytime.

I was shocked to see, yesterday, that it was 2 degrees warmer here on the south coast of England, than it was in The villages!!!
Is this 'Global Warming' ??
