Thanks for the invitation Bill. Key West, Florida was in the 50s yesterday, which is about as cold as I can ever recall for that part of the world. Hopefully, the sunshine state will be a lot warmer when I get there. Damned Global Warming!

Cheers,

Gary

No global warming here in Philly ... it's CHILLY! ( and I LOVE it! ) Me and the grandson are waiting for more snow to add to our menagerie on the lawn! My folks are down in St Auggy Fla and STILL complaining about the chill - one thing we will NEVER have in common is the "snow bird" deal - I like all four seasons - couldn't live without any one of 'em!

Dave,

When I encounter air temperatures lower than my age I consider it the dead of winter. Gonna' be 70 next October--the Florida Keys are sure looking good!

Cheers,

Gary

Hi Gary,

Growing up in Key West we occasionally saw temps dip into the high 40's. Down there this is like Antarctica. There's no heat, the houses are drafty and we didn't have heavy clothing. I can remember my mother turning on the oven, opening the oven door and letting us get dressed in front of it. The good thing was it never lasted. Hope it warms up for you.

Temps on southeast coast of the "Sunshine State" predicted to be in 20's this weekend.
No joke.

(Don't tell Al Gore.)

Hopefully, it'll warm back up before you get here. This is insane for NW Florida!

If I were you, I'd be taking a look at an ice yacht..

Strange footnote, but once upon a time, ice yachts were the fastest thing on the planet, back in the days of the 19th century... ice yachts could easily double the speed of the fastest locomotive. This cold snap goes on any longer, I'm going to find out for myself, and stick runners on my windsurfer!

+12F here in the Roswell (north Atlanta suburbs) area. I'm projecting our gas bill to be in the 800-900.00 range this month. It had better warm up soon or it's going to seriously impact my music-junk buying habits. I can't believe it, we're 10 degrees colder than Philly. I may have to move back to the area (at least I'd be closer to my buddies Fran and Donny ).

My wife and I were planning to go to Italy and decided to wait for the dollar to recover a little ... then we were planning to do to Florida and have now decided to wait for a turn in the weather ...
I'm doing too much waiting ... I think Hawaii may be looking good ...

Tony, stop in San Jose on your way. We got 70 here. We also got 300,000 Italians and Calabrese that live her who really know how to make a great lunch or supper.
We traveled 5 years full time in out Motorhome always thing about a better place to dig in but after touring all the states several times summer and/or winter plus I was on the road on business full time for 10 years, I/we decided that just wasn't any better year around weather then right here in good old San Jose.
So make sure that Plane stops at the airport and I will be there waiting.
Best to ya,

Well, I'm in Destin, supposed to meet up with Diki tonight, and possibly Randy (saxman) tonight. Probably spend another day here before heading north to Shreveport.

Looked at four boats, a couple were duds, some were sold. Damned cold here, bue locals said it was warmed up quite a bit since last week.

Cheers,

Gary
