They dumped a BUNCH of salt here in Bloomington, it's all over for this year. Now we can just hope for an EARLY SPRING.

One of the many reasons we moved to Florida the last 2 weeks is because we got tired of rain, clouds, more rain, freezing rain and snow in Pennsyrainia.....

We were in the pool all day today. Sweet ..

Hey Mike, enjoy your hurricane season, palmetto bugs, and the occasional freezing weather with no/little heat available.

Hey Jack,I moved to Hilton Head Island about 7 years ago from Naperville IL.
No comparison,I do have heat for the occasional cold night,not a hurricane here for about 100 years and I am not sure what you mean by palmetto bugs,but if you mean cockroches,there is no difference between here and Chicago.Keep your place clean and no bugs.
It was around 80 today.

I know... But after living all my life in PA, and traveling for work all over the country in the winter, it is nice to have great weather for a change. By the way, I've been to Chicago in January and February
and it's no fun especially after a nice dinner walking outside and it's sleeting sideways. My wife hates the cold and I just got tired of shoveling a 100 foot long driveway.

Take care guys and Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

Yeah... Minnesota is getting old, in the winter.
I love the other 3 seasons here though.


Did you make it to the Texas Mile with your beast, John?

72 over here in Atlanta yesterday; winter is not ready to kick in yet. Only reason I don't drive the Vette every day is to keep the miles down, though I will be doing a 1000 mile round trip this w-end!

We had our "anual" fall/winter rain this past weekend.
Now back to sunny skies and clean roads.
