Soooooo tired of winter !

[Poirot]

LOL, sure, rub it in, rascals.

 

[katmouse]

Poirot, thanks for the laugh with government snow plow

 

[TheWriter]

Snow is coming our way too ! It's official... I was still hoping, but alas, it's coming. It'll start tonight, and go on for the next two to three days. Sick of it too !

Project Florida may be back on the table !

 

[ktspirit]

You couldn't stand it down here, Quebec, lol. You die of heat stroke your first day.

 

[TheWriter]

You'd be surprised, ktspirit ! I've been to Walt Disney World in July and in August and I did not mind at all ! I think Floridians were hotter than I was !

 

[Old Cowgirl]

I'm holding off on my comments about our milder weather. You folks in cooler climes might get even with me, come July and August.

 

[Daysdegrassi]

Yup, all the Floridians will be complaining then, lol. I'm probably moving to FL in summer too.

 

[ktspirit]

Yep, some triple digits F here in summer at times, and humid. Be careful what you wish for, lol.

 

[Daysdegrassi]

KT, I keep hearing about how beautiful the Panhandle beaches are, and how they're the best in FL. Is that true?

 

[ktspirit]

You got that right! Especially around Ft Walton and west, but for seashells, Panama City Beach area is great, just wear shoes, lol.

It does get hot in the summer but hey, you live in AC, you work in AC you drive in AC....and when you want to be outside just pop over to the beach!! LOL. I will take Florida anyday over living up north in the winter. I was in California this summer and the heat was brutal and I was not near the beach. I think the first year of living in Florida is always heard adjusting to the humidity but after that it isn't hard at all.

I am sorry for you all and how tough this winter has been. Don't wish that on anybody.

I have had enough of winter as well. We had 80's on Friday last week and all of the snow from our back to back storms had finally melted all 24+ inches (not counting the huge drifts created by plows and shoveling) was finally gone. I cleaned some of my flower beds. I have a ton of daffodils coming up, tulips too and my lenten rose are all gorgeous right now. And here comes the snow :( and it's going to snow off and on for the next several days and Thursday could be a good size storm with plowable snow - only saying 4 inches right now. Enough already!!

 

[Puddle Duck]

Come to Florida and be my neighbor. It does get hot in the summer but like Rascal said you are mostly in the AC and if not you find something to do that includes water. LOL We live in the pool in the summer.

I feel for all of you getting hit by wave after wave of cold, snowy weather. It is definitely a rough way to start SPRING. Hope you get some relief soon. My in-laws are arriving today from Kansas and I feel bad because it is raining here. (like I can control the weather haha)

 

[meldrel]

We get some pretty good heat and humidity here in Kansas - had record breaking heat last summer. My AC died one day in July when we were at 112 F - (not counting the dreaded heat index or humidity at 100%) I was so happy we had an extended warranty!

I do enjoy visiting Florida - St Augustine, Key West - and I love Marathon :love:

 

[Puddle Duck]

^^^^ meldrel, I adore St. Augustine. We go several times a year and would love to retire there. :love:

 

[Daysdegrassi]

I went there as well last fall, for the first time. I loved it.

 

[meldrel]

Yep St Augustine is terrific - so much history and charm! Good cemeteries too - I visit cemeteries wherever I travel. Key West's cemetery is amazing - my favorite headstone there "I Told You I Was Sick"
Sorry for going off topic :back:

 

[rascalsmom43947]

I love St. Augustine too. Great little shops and restaurants. My favorite it the Greek one called Athenas...oh man good food and wine!!!

 

[Daysdegrassi]

Rascals, I went there with my dad! Amazing food! And you get a great-size portion for what you pay for!

 

[Puddle Duck]

If you go back try Pizza Alley and Harry's. These are musts when we visit. I also found a really funky new place called The Back 40. It is just outside of the historic district. Great food and my kids can't wait to go back.
