I live in north Florida and there are snowflakes blowing around outside right now! They're not sticking or anything, but they're definitely there! Too bad we didn't get it yesterday. But still, OMG YAY!

It has mostly been gorgeous here in Key West. For example, yesterday I enjoyed Christmas the way I love to: off work and at an open air bar drinking beer and listening to live music in shorts and a t-shirt, with the temperature at about 80.
Today, however, is much different. Right now it's 65, and it's supposed to drop to 51 tonight. And it's supposed to get windy. When it's windy and chilly in Key West, that wind coming off the Atlantic makes it seem much colder than it is.
I know, warm compared to most places, but I don't live in those cold places...I live in the tropics for a reason!

Last night was cold but at least I wasn't wearing a short skirt like my cousins' 15-year-old daughters. The one was wearing a freakin' sundress. She had a hooded sweatshirt jacket over it, and tights, but still...
Though I had a bit of a hike because my aunt's street is lined with piles of leaves so parking was a pain. They have a big horseshoe driveway but I didn't want to get trapped in there in case I wanted to leave before whoever might end up blocking me in, and I couldn't block the one side because it extends up to the side of the house and my uncle needed to be able to pull up there so my aunt wouldn't have to walk far. So I ended up in a relatively leaf-free area in front of the house next door.Last edited by BookstoreEscapee; 12-26-2010, 05:36 PM.I don't go in for ancient wisdom

This is what the weather is like over here:
Blizzard-like conditions in many areas have led to treacherous road conditions...
...some trains experienced delays from 30 minutes to an hour (...) Local rail traffic in the capital city area has also suffered minor delays because of the frosty conditions. This is nothing - I was on a train in Britain last year which was delayed by a whole two hours, because the brakes froze. The Finns are keeping tings moving pretty well.
There is also an exceptionally large amount of ice in the Baltic Sea, and the Saimaa Canal will probably be closed earlier in the season than usual.

Quoth BookstoreEscapee View PostSometimes I hate you.
As I posted a while back on my facebook, for those us who live here in Paradise, it is not only our privilege to gloat to those who live in the cold northern climes, it is our DUTY.

For those of you less than amused with me and my gloating, you will be happy to know that the next few days are scheduled to be cold (by Key West standards) down here.
Of course, this works for me as well, as it usually means more business (and thus more money) for me at my indoor bar.
Happily, the current forecast for New Year's Eve weekend, which I have off starting probably no later than 8 pm NYE night, is absolutely lovely.

Just came back from a relative's place a few hours' drive north...We got snow flurries that actually started sticking after an hour or so, on xmas day...was puuurdy. They have a couple of young kids, so it was so much the better. Bro was throwing snowballs at the house, so Mom complained...so, naturally, he threw more ^_^
I just drove back tonight, only to find the temp here, in my own little slice of gourmand heaven, *colder* than where and when I left...just no snow. We've actually been colder than several areas well north of us for most of the season >_<"For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.
