11 degrees in Ronkonkoma N.Y. and very strong winds blowing! With about 10 inches of snow.

Snow removal is included in your amenity fee here!

If snow removal is included in our amenity fees, we're getting ripped off. I haven't seen a single snow plow go buy our home since we moved here!

BTW, the only thing I've had to shovel since moving here is sunshine! I could have said it was something else, but I'm trying to be nice!

Nor will I forget my car sliding out of the driveway because the ice built up over night... woke up to my car out in the middle of the street! Hurry down to The Villages. It may be a little cold here today, but I don't think I will find my car out in the middle of the street! Good luck... stay warm!

Lol....I read your post and immediately checked my driveway! Phew, my car is still there. I can't get to the villages fast enough!

Do they even sell snow shovels in Florida??? Where do you find the sunshine shovel? It's probably one of those "as seen on TV" products! Or should I say "as seen on TOTV"?

I can honestly say, that I am grateful to be in TV. I'll take 40 degrees over the snow and bone chilling temperatures, anyday. I use to make fun of TV people, who said it was cold here, as I looked out my window, at blizzard conditions in CT, but you get so use to it being warm, when the temps drops you feel cold.

I don't miss the snow one bit.

I have to be nice to my friends back home, by not calling them, and crowing over the fact, we don't have to shovel sunshine.

Live is great when you are in TV. I love it here!!!

I don't miss the weather up in Massachusetts at all. No snow throwing, sand and salt, no slipping or falling, no cleaning off vehicles. Best of all I don't have to work in it anymore either!

Just remember what you lose in January you gain in June

Picked a good week to head south from The Villages. We arrived at PGA National Resort and Spa New Years Day and it has been beautiful....

It is all relative of course, but it is even a bit chilly here, topping out at 65 degrees today....

PS. I must say I really missed The Villages on the first day when I was poured a $7 draft beer! I asked if I got to keep the glass...

Whoa!!!! $7 for a beer sounds expensive!!!

Where were you? The "House of Beers"?

BTW - I would have thought it came with the glass too.

At least the sun is out

Am so grateful for the friend who came this afternoon with his snow plow and cleared much of our driveway of the 10" of snow. Grateful, too, that it did not take me an unnecessary amount of shoveling to clear the garage doors of the snow drift so that hubs could get the snow blower out to do the finishing touches on the driveway and the sidewalk. And grateful that we were able to clear the cars of snow and out of the drifts just so that we can feel like we can get out if we have to go somewhere [but have absolutely no plans to do so!]. And grateful that the sun is out, the house is warm and we can sit inside and enjoy watching whatever goes on outside our house!

BUT most of all...am glad that a week from today we should be in N.C. with family and on our way to our snowbird nest in the Village of Silver Lake! C'yall soon!

Even the dog doesn't want to go out.

My New Years resolution is to be in the Villages before next winter!

Just 4 words of advice: Home made chicken soup.

We are also from the Saratoga area and we were groaning about how cold it was here today. Then.......I remembered that my hometown just got 10" of snow yesterday and they woke up to temps of -6. So, I feel blessed to live here. I didn't even have to shovel when I got up. Life is good.
