Got a cold front coming in tomorrow. It's been 17 years since Florida has had one this early.

come on up in January and/or February after the holidaze
I'll give you a tour
and take you out for the best steak you've had


I love cold weather, I've just almost always lived in places that barely have any.  I've spent time in NYC, St. Louis, Rock Springs (WY) and Denver (well, outside of Denver, up in the mountains) in Jan. and Feb., and it was wonderful.  I'm the opposite of utee94 talking about how 80 degrees is getting too chilly.  I don't consider myself particularly hot-natured.....I need to bundle up as much as anyone if it's cold.  I just like the cold.   

Granted, I'm not sure how I'd feel about it if blisteringly cold temps were my reality every day, each year, or I worked outside.  But it sure does sound nice.

I didn't mind it nearly as much as a kid or young man - hunting, Ice fishing, snowmobiling, skiing, 4 wheeling, were a lot of fun

It just wears on you as you get older

I don't love hot, nor cold.

I'll have to say, the weather/temps in San Fran when I was there at the first part of June was probably ideal for me.  Although I was totally perplexed by folks swimming in the Bay waters.  It had to be frigid.

It's that one or two months or so where we put pants on and don't use our pools much.


Hey, I wear pants.......to church, and to work.......at least since the mandatory injunction court order said I had to.

You remind me that I've spent quite a bit of time around Thanksgiving and Christmas in both the Ozarks and the Smokies, and loved that too.  

Don't know if the yankees would consider that "real" winter, and I'm not sure how the months of November and December compare to January and February there, but I sure liked it.

I do not miss the cold and snow. 

Not to mention not seeing the sun for months at a time.

Not to mention a lot of other things I can't mention.

F that.

BUT

The food scene was awesome.

I don't mind visiting cold places during cold months. 

I no longer want to live in it for months at a time. 

It's a lot easier to grin and bear it when you know you're getting on a plane and leaving soon.

Chicago is one of the few places I've never visited.  People call it the windy city.  

I admit, I don't care for a lot of wind when it's very cold.  That would get on my nerves.  I like the cold, but with non-windy conditions.

They don't call it "windy" because of the wind.

Hmm.  Learn something new everyday.  

I always thought people were referring to cold, wintry, and windy conditions.  

See, if I'd ever visited Chicago, I'd probably know that.
