Winter

[Ronald van Essen]

It's quiet from the guys from Downunder. I remember when I was in Melbourne a guy saying:

"We have four seasons in ONE DAY in Melbourne."

It can be cold in Florida too, what about lower 40's in april in 1997 around the Orlando area? I was there so I know, with just shorts and a T-shirt.....

And sometimes its on the news about freezing wx in Florida, especially fruit trees get hurt....

Ronald,

You are right, if Florida was the perfect place to live we would all be living their.

Tom,

I'm not sure about the two months that you are talking about,but I boat for 9 months out of the year

up here in Traverse City,Michigan. If you ever came up here in the summertime you would find it

hard to beat anywhere on earth. There is not a much nicer city to live and work in. IMHO!!!

Enjoy The Sun,

Mark Sholund

That's right Moron and YES Mark I also boat year round(every week) ,warm temps and no hurricanes at all..so living in down south is a privilege for us and agree that Florida would be my place in US.

"I left the frozen tundra during the blizzard of 1979, snow is not beautiful! I took Georges advice and moved."

Ron, I remember that nice little snowstorm. It rolled in on a Wednesday night and I was a CB channel 9 monitor back then on the midnight to 3 AM shift looking out the window watching my Firebird being buried in snow. The guy across the street had nothing but car antennas sticking up out of the snow in his low lying driveway.

Still, we can't complain too much this year as we haven't been hit like in the past. Last year we got slapped a few times pretty hard resulting in a lot of flooding once it started thawing.

Glad to hear it hasn't been like that probably since 79 however I have no desire to see snow except on tv watching the Winter Olympics from Sunny Florida. LOL I think its funny that there are actually two people from Florida competeing in the Winter Games....Go Figure!!!

Stay warm Ron!

Well I think this week is going to be the last of it. I think spring is going to crack open after this week.

I'm planning on getting some boats wet next weekend...
