Okay it is pretty up here in spring. But I've been listening to ice crashing down all night. Had to go out and move my car from under a tree. I'm pretty sure I would rather Florida year round.
And to think last week my wife was suggesting I open the pool early. |

For us (originally from Michigan), the big difference is that when up north in the coldest part of winter, you were stuck in your home with nothing to do and running the heater. If you went outside, it was uncomfortable - period. There was not much of anywhere to go, and certainly nothing to do outside. Here in Florida, in the hottest parts of summer, you can sit inside with air conditioning (no different than running heat up north), but you can also go out and enjoy a pool. In addition, the temps are much better early in the morning and late in the evening, so you can still get out and do something. Coming from Michigan, the coldest part of winter was far longer than the hottest part of summer in Florida. |

When our kids went to college in the south, the first snow (1” using snow term loosely) jumped in their 4x4 to go shopping, cause that’s what you do when school is closed, no ski lodge available. I still remember their first phone call “Every thing is closed what is wrong with people is just Snow” Bonus for our son, he would pick up all the employees in his Jeep, drive to their restaurant, only place open. Made a killing because it snowed an inch, making everyone happy there was hot food.

Half an inch is enough to close schools, non-essential services and all public transport. Successive generations have no idea how to live with, or handle the stuff. Not so bad in Scotland as they still get plenty of the white stuff. |

I can't speak to the origins of 150K residents of TV General Lee...Also, I think that there is a lot of good give and take on here regardless of where you came from. Unfortunately you sometimes have to deal with some early settlers to TV that have done so lock stock and barrel, have no other comparisons to draw from anymore....and think we all think the same on a host of issues presented on this forum. Breaking News sir...it doesn't and we dont
