If so, where, and what do you expect to catch, aside from pneumonia?

=========================

No. One of my goals in moving to Florida was to never again be
outside in freezing weather. So far, so good.

I am having a difficult time adjusting to this weather. The past four
winters in Florida have spoiled me, that's for sure. Damn!, it's cold
outside. Driveways are black ice - gotta schuffle along, never lifting a
foot off the ground to avoid falling on your ass.

That works most of the time, and then bammm, down you go, most times
before you know what hit you. I grew up in the upstate NY snow belt,
averaging 200+ inches per winter. Never again if I can help it.

But a good lawn type 'Broadcast Spreader', and keep a big supply of sand
or rock salt handy & covered. Those things usually cover an 8 foot
swath so once down & back up should make it safer. I fell hard on a
city sidewalk one year and it took me a month to recover.... I must have
bruised my ribs.

I think this is one of our last winters in New England as much as I
hate to admit it - or want to do it for that matter.

Wife wants to move South - I want to stay.

We'll see.

Later,

I'll go with her! I'll need my own room c/w bath facilities and a boat
to play with.

I once saw somebody from up north movin to Fl with a snowshovel tied to
the bumper. I told him it'd come in right handy fer killin the
palmetter bugs but you'd have to swing hard.

Solid is an unatural state for water except in iced tea and scotch on
the rocks.

I remember the shuffling well and don't miss it a bit.
