Cold Again

I guess we picked the wrong winter to be on the East Coast, and in Florida. It went down to 34 again last night and we woke up to frost on the cars and everything else outside. We had to turn on the heat in the middle of the night. I'm sure it gets this way every winter on occassion, but it seems like it is more often this year. Just following the weather across the rest of the east this year on the Weather Channel, we can see it is an unusually cold and snowy season. We heard at one time last week that Florida was the only state out of the 50 (including Hawaii) that didn't have some snow on the ground somewhere. Of course, with the highest elevation in this state of only 90 feet, it would be tough to have any snow.

Josie called her sister in Edgewater yesterday and we will finally get to see her and her husband, Carlos, today. It is about a 90 mile trip from here and should take about an hour and a half. It's been 7 years since we saw them last when they visited Arizona. It's ironic that when they visited us back then it was very cold and damp in Arizona. We took them to Lake Pleasant that day and we all had to bundle up in heavy jackets. It looks like we will need jackets to visit them today. It's normally a few degrees cooler where they live anyway, as it is further north of us.

At least the sun is shining and it looks like a good day to visit. This is one of the few days we have left before starting work - at least for me. We are hoping that our (correct) part arrives tomorrow AM and we can get the jacks fixed once and for all. 'Till next time...
