I agree Bell. This weather is unbelievable. Gee, just Sunday we were in shirt sleeves and sweating, now we can't stop shivering. Hubby and I don't even own winter coats. The warmest thing we own are sweatshirts.

We now have wind gusts of 25mph. We're going to be frozen by morning. Gosh doesn't Mother Nature know that people that live in south Florida that most of the house don't have heat!!!!

I think Santa better bring us some longjohns, and winter coats, and gloves and hats and lots of warm clothing.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh boy, now that we got the price of tomatoes to come down, now the oranges will skyrocket!

And I'm jealous I don't have a fireplace. Trying to picture in my mind which wall could be turned into a fireplace.

We are coming down to south Florida to Pompano Beach in Jan and it BETTER be warm by then. LOL We already experienced all the darn hurricanes and don't want cold weather now. This will probably be our last year to go down too.

I have a fireplace seperating to parts of the living room so I have the couch and recliner on one side. then the other is the love seat and computer section. so I can watch tv or chat on line with you all. and I stay toasty because the recliner and computer are both the nearest to the fireplace. I love the double glass doors. Lol we lit a fire last week I forgot to open the flu. well we had the ac on and the house was full of smoke. lol I was trying to get everyone into the christmas spirit. so I made it cold in here and lit a fire. lol no I wish I could light the fire but it is to late. I will not go to bed if the fireplace is on or even warm just a fear I have

I lived in Tampa, FL many years ago. I think it was 1975 when it snowed. Everyone was out in the yards making snowballs in their jammies and slippers, even the retirees :D All we had for warmth was a fireplace. We hung huge dropcloths at the 2 doorways, got out the sleeping bags and slept on the living room floor. Had a small electric heater for the bathroom. Turned the oven on to heat the kitchen long enough to be fairly comfortable eating breakfast. And the snow would be gone before mid morning :D
