Florida cold and The Winter Olympics 2014

I know the weather up North’s been frightful and no where has been delightful during this winter season, or at least that’s what the news is saying.

Some of my friends in New England are crossing their fingers for Spring or at least snow on a day off so they don’t have to leave an hour earlier to get to work.

Florida has been up and down and it’s really killing my sinus’. One day it’s 54 and balmy, the next it’s 44 and raw. Pollen high, Pollen low “Grrrrrr Arrrrrrrg” Fog every where.

I want to wrap my hands around weathers neck and shake, like Homer does to Bart and say. “Make up your damn mind all ready!”

We’ve even had more than several nights of hard freezes. You know 22 degrees at 11 PM and it has no where to go but down and they don’t call it off until 9 the next morning. I keep asking myself.   “Am I in Massachusetts again?”  Oh wait – NOT.

(Sarcasm) Yes, welcome to Florida.  Hi there, how ya doing. Oranges are lovely, grapefruits, Mmmmm. Warm, hmmmm not right now, It’s not sunshine and smiles all the time. 

I took a picture on my way to work one morning with the frost on the grass along the roadside, not sure how well you’ll be able to tell, but it’s white and not green. LOL.

The good news is we finally received a bunch of rain in area. YES, thank you!! Although driving in it yesterday was a pain in the butt!!

So I say to my friends up North – take your cold weather back. LOL, I really don’t want to pull out my cold weather gear.

And how about those Winter Olympics going on in Sochi!! I was at my grandmother's house yesterday and we started watching them. The Men's Snow Boarding came on, can I say Holy Crap Guys!!

You guys are awesome!! GO USA!!!!

My favorite is the ice skating, both singles and couples. I remember my Auntie had it on every winter Olympics and I'd sit on the couch with her and watch. Smart enough, 'not' to try it out on the ice 

Fall / Winter...in Florida??

Yes, Winter in Florida, although you kinda have to say it like Dr. Who did in the recent episode of ' Dinosaurs--on a spaceship' sort of like, it's here and it's really happening LOL. 

So I just had to put the Dr. Who trailer in, so you  could see what I'm talking about LOL. (he says it near the end of the trailer)




The weather's been really nice lately, down in the 50's at night and 70's during the day with a slight cool breeze. Ya, you know...T-shit weather :-) Now I'm guessing we'll probably be in for a harder winter than last year. Maybe a few more nights of freeze warnings and 28 degrees than last year, and I'll have to dress in layers LOL. OK! I'm ready!! Where are my socks? ;-) hehehehe.

Although I've been  here for, geeze 8 or maybe 9 years now, I just can't seem to become acclimated to Florida summers. they are just to hot for this northern girl. Thank you for A/C!!

I know my friends and family up north have already seen snow falling and kudo's to them for shoveling the snow LOL, that's something I'd just rather not do anymore.

So I guess if we lose all electricity across the globe for some reason or another, you know aliens or what not, I'm hiking my butt up to a decent weather state. You know some where not to cold in the winter and not to hot in the summer...is there such a place?? Guess I'll have to start looking ;-)

Hope everyone stays warm where ever you are this Fall/Winter season!!

Take care and read lots!!
