And it only gets worse. I can't believe we're only a week into December.
Hang in there.

You guys in Fla always crack me up with your winter responses. I'll take a couple of months of crappy weather up here in the northeast any day over oppressive heat and humidity. And how about those love bugs!

I live in NJ, when I was a kid growing up in the early 80's this once proud organization had fans all over the country. Even in NJ you would see as many aqua and orange jerseys in elementary school as you would Eagle green, maybe more. I don't know why I still pull for this team

I do agree summers in my part of FL are hell! From mid May to early Oct it's lows in the 70's and highs in the 90's! You don't ever see 60's in the summer here.

But i could never take a winter up north!

I visited my Sister-inlaw a few winters ago (in Florida) and she was "breeding" Palmeto bugs as big as my fist! In the house! Snakes in the house are also a "common" occurance. This was in a city. Parent-inlaws (also in Flordia) live in a "rural setting" and are all the time shoveling "critters" out of their pool and bushes? But on a positive note we did ride with the top down almost every day. This was in February. I guess everything comes with compromises.
