Yeah, ice is covering even the southern states! There's ice in
Atlanta! Will there be snow in "Southtown" for Christmas? A definite
possibility! What an unnatural, freakish, inclement weather condition!

In my neighborhood most of the local lines are buried. It makes all
the difference.

I see by the weather map that you're right in the middle of it! Right
here it's 21 degrees right now. That may seem balmy to you, but it
feels cold to me!


What's next, snowmen in Florida?


Actually, the cold front is not very far north of Florida right now.
The orange crop could be in jeopardy! Bert better think about covering
his banana trees! Ha! Ha!

Hi nightbat and Double-A My banana trees died in a bad ice storm 5
years ago. My orange trees died of a virus two years ago. Only tree the
tornadoes did not lift up and blow away is my mighty oak. Does not break
a record when temperature can go down to 20 degrees.Reality is not often
Today will hit 70(eat your hearts out) The snow birds are already
swimming at Daytona Beach. When lying on the beach drinking cold Bud
light the only thing to remind you of Christmas is listening to "Gingle
Balls" on the radio. Well you two snow lovers let me give you good
advice. "Use your legs and not your back" when shovelling all those tons
of snow,and don't pee into the wind.Best to keep in mind your one piece
heavy wool underwear has a back door. Still I miss not having a
fireplace with a water mattress in front of it. Bert

Does this virus threaten the orange industry? There is an disease that
has wiped out the hazel nut trees in most of the country. We still
produce hazel nuts here in Oregon, but the disease is killing our trees
too!

And don't eat the yellow snow!

Well, most people here just use their fireplaces for decorative
purposes anyway. When you try to use them, they just smoke up the
house and set off the smoke alarms!

Hi double-A Fireplaces are nice for show. Reality is when I was a kid
living in a cold flat the kitchen had a huge black cast iron stove that
burnt coal.In the winter you lived in the kitchen.I use to walk the
freight train tracks and in just a few minutes I could fill up a burlap
bag with enough coal for our stove and the poor people that lived down
stairs. I know how those poor people in New Orleans feel still having no
electricity,it is very depressing in the winter to not have the light go
on when you pull the switch. Sounds kind of sad my growing up so
very poor,but reality is I was one happy kid. Money does not buy
happiness.(oh Ya) Bert

I can remember sleeping on the kitchen floor. We had a coal-fired
furnace, and the kitchen was right above it, so it was the warmest room
in the house. When the temperature would drop near zero, and the gorge
wind would be blowing 50 mph outside, and with lots of windows and no
thermal glass, you just couldn't keep most of the house habitably warm.
Large amounts of ice would form on the "inside" of the windows!
People said we should switch to gas or oil heat. But when the
electricity would go out, as it always did during the coldest spells,
the people with those kinds of heating systems would end up seeking
emergency shelter down at the local school, and when they got back
home, their pipes would be busted! At least we were self sufficient
whatever came.

I didn't grow up poor, but I didn't grow up rich either. Our house and
grounds were paradise during the summer, but in the winter, something
else!
