Maybe I should call the DH in here and make him read this posting this morning. If he has said "start thinking Florida" one time in the past two weeks, he has said it twenty.....we have had one of the coldest winters either one of us has gotten through, even though we lived in ND and Alaska when he was in his early AF years. I have not been outside my back door in over 10 days except one evening to go out to my sewing room, and fell in the snow on my way back in.....

Fresno, Ca gets snow once in a blue moon, but Lordy, Lordy, do they get fog, I hate it when I have to (or need to) drive down there when it is foggy. It causes me to have panic attacks. Here on the mountain we are above the fog and just below the worst of the snow

We are in swfl ==Bonita Springs --about 3 miles north of Naples line ==Yes it has been the coldest winter in my 32 yrs here. But, I only live here Nov thru to April. My brother lives in Ft Myers , Fl and doesn't mind the summers.
S-I-l only sets the a/ c on when she gets home from work and says their condo a/c bill is not that high but she is careful. Some who live here all year find this weather cool but it's ok for me as our park pool is heated. Hubby can not take the heat after April but Ontario where we live never gets that much heat to be a problem in summer.
I hate the cold weather and all that white fluffy stuff and always have.

Fort Myers area is the place to be....a little cool some days but lovely most of the time and summers are no worse for us than they were in Illinois...A/C is not expensive here. Love it.

We were in Fort Lauderdale a week ago and it was cold and very windy. The tour guide said he pays $500 a month in the summer to air condition his small two bedroom apartment and that the A/C has to be on 24/7 to keep mold from forming. Just telling you what he said. I did find Fort Lauderdale to be very pretty. I like seeing and finding out about other areas.

I lived for just under 60 years in Ft Myers area and moved to North Florida last year. This picture was taken last week of a neighbor's fountain. Glad this is all the "white" we saw.
