Default Geez, I can't wait to be shoveling sunshine!

Although I agree with TOPHCFA the biggest drawback in FL is its third world status in healthcare, and a few other issues,

this part of the year in NE is the worst. Very jealous of you all living in TV during the months of Jan-Mar

Same here, we spent the fall in TV and came home for Dr's visits this week. I'm running south just ahead of the storm tomorrow!

Nothing wrong with the Healthcare in Florida, I've had worse in other states.

I'm in one of the pale blue bands, not the lightest, but not one of the dark ones either.

We were scheduled to head south on Sunday, but had to bump our departure to Monday so we don’t have to drive through that. Got down to the mid teens last night, can’t wait to get the hell out of here. Oh well, at least I’ll get to fire up the tractor Sunday morning and plow some snow (which I enjoy in limited quantities, so I can scratch that itch) before getting out of dodge.

How much worse can the other states be? Our hospitals have one star ratings. Is there a lower rating? If so, YIKES!

Luckily for me I saved a snow shovel cause I know the big one will come to the Villages sooner or later

Once in a while I miss Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin. But, then there is all that extra laundry you have to do because of layering up.

Denver would be cold one week and then warm the next. I was there a year in 1983-1984.

Research how hospitals are rated, and what makes some hospitals lower ratings.

Well, that sure isn’t sunshine I just finished plowing. The snow measured 10 inches in the picture of the picnic table I took this morning. We got about another three inches since then and the storm is winding down. Scratched that itch and now I need to pack the car so we can hit the road to the Villages at first light tomorrow morning. Will be shoveling sunshine by Wednesday : )
