Is everyone ready?

Forum title: "Is everyone ready?"

LBrown59's answer to that question: "Folks in Fl. are."

There's a lot less room for confusion in this thread than in the "Will it fly?" thread!

They are winter? That doesn't make sense. Please explain.

I'd say the folks in Florida are pretty ready for winter.

We had our first cold blast and snowfall of a few inches about the 1st of Dec. One day it was 75 and the overnight low was 65 and the next night it was 25, the next was 12 (all F.) We still have traces of snow in protected and shaded locations including our roof on the north side.

Today and tomorrow are forecast to be in 50's.

After all, this is Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plains (sometimes all the way from Canada or the north pole.)

The best argument I ever lost to my wife was aver a heated and air conditioned cab on our new tractor. I just love it. I could stand some more A/C some of the time but the heater is ARCTIC ready. Even when it is below 10F yoiu can't run the heat too high as it will drive you out. A heck of a heater.

I'm not always ready for it when it arrives, but I always enjoy it for about the first month. After that I'm always ready for spring!

Iowachild, Why did you edit the picture and remove the lazy curling smoke plume from the chimney? It was a real Norman Rockwell moment till then.

No I didn't edit the photo. There was no fire in the stove. It's our place in paradise that is only week-end type use now, but I hope to retire there. I was only there to shovel the out drive entrance and rake the roof.
How about one with lights?

ok , we got your Missouri snow storm up here in Illinois , thanks for sending it our way. We got 18 inches & alot of big drifts. The back blade was useless until I moved out the bulk of it with the FEL. I hope we are done with the big storms of the season now. UGH, a week & half till winter,

Does that mean if I move to Florida that I will be ready for winter or will I just be pretty?

The wife and I put up Christmas lights on the house today. We both got a little sun burned. It did get down to the mid to high 60's though . . . almost had to wear long sleeves.

Next week I will decorate the Ocotillo and a couple of the larger cacti and send photos.

We're supposed to be in the high 50s here in Ohio today. I figure the next "Alberta Clipper" is due about this time next week.

I hear the El Nino is not going to be as big as they had first thought. Since the El Nino forecast for this area was for things to be essentially normal, I wonder if that means they will be extra normal, more normal than usual, or what?
