I live in Florida. I do not live in the warmest, nor the coldest parts of Florida.

But I live in Florida. There is an orange grove down the street from where I live...

why is the weather report referring to "snow flurries" and "hard freeze" for tonight?

(The flurries are expected on the coast, not so far inland as where I am.)

ken said yesterday that the low tonight was supposed to be 28?! brrrr... that's not right! he said they went to a new year's eve party in shorts on monday night & were planning to crank up the heat & bundle up the next few days!

although, speaking of things that aren't right, i'm ridiculously excited for potential highs in the 40s up here this weekend. :)

stay toasty!

Ken's right. That's what they're predicting tonight for a low around here. I wore a dress for New Years without hose and a pair of black slides. I did put a sweater on, but that's largely cause I know the restaurant we were at tends to be chilly.

I have to go find sheets to cover up the ti plant and the hibiscus in the yard. We have a lot of hibiscus too, so that will probably take several sheets.

I'm glad I own a good winter coat-I really never anticipated needing it down here, but between visiting my Mom and Dad and my in laws, I know I need one.

it's freaky when it snows in south georgia. i imagine it must be even moreso in florida with orange groves down the street.

IT BETTER NOT MESS WITH MY ORANGE JUICE SUPPLY!!!

It is a little weird. The occasional day or two of cold weather is not so surprising, it happens, and it's happened ever winter we've been here so far, but a hard freeze(28 degrees or less for 6 hours or more I think) hasn't happened in five years. It'll be interesting, for sure.

At least we've got hot chocolate in the house.

The governor signed an executive order about how quickly fruit can be moved from groves to processing plants to help preserve the supply and to reduce the amount of fruit potentially damaged by the cold.

Don't make me say something nice about Jeb. *sob*

[geminigirl]

You don't have to. He hasn't been the governor for a while-term limits and all. However, the current governor is one of his cronies.

My family and I were passing through San Antonio, Texas one time, either Thanksgiving or Christmas eve, or something like that, and we left in a snow blizzard just thirty minutes before they closed the highways out of the city.

We were fine. But. Blizzard in Texas, that's just weird. (I have also been in a blizzard in Florida, but I think it was that weird offshoot panhandle thingy, not anywhere interesting.)

Nasty (or good as far as I'm concerned) cold wave hitting. It was 9 degrees here this evening at around 6pm, and -14 with the wind chill factor. I don't even want to know how cold its supposed to be over night.

Stay warm though. Its rough when you aren't used to it.

Hi Erika! Tasha (rockstarbob), my dear friend of superlongdays, sent me over to your journal. She said you are extracool. Might I friend you?

[geminigirl]

Bob mentioned in IM that you might do this and I said it was fine with me, and that I'd be happy to be mutually friended if you wanted. :)

Welcome. (Just FYI, I may screen your comment cause it uses real names and I know I'm not 100% comfortable putting mine out there, and I'm not sure how she is. But, I'll check with her, and see if she's okay with it.)

Oh, and if you're at all interested in pregnancy related stuff, let me know; I have an opt-in pregnancy-related filter that I post to with some regularity right now, as I'm six months pregnant.)

Oops! I'm sorry! I didn't realize. Please screen away.

Also, I read your post about filters. I am absolutely trustworthy about secrets and am very interested in human nature and people's lives. That said though, you don't know me and I don't expect you to trust me. I would be happy to read anything that you write that you wish to share, is what I'm saying.

Congratulations! Sure!
