Heck, so sorry snow for you all Peeps!



Snow looks so pretty coming down, and at times I nearly miss it… but then I remind myself of how cold it truly has to be to snow, hovering at thirty-two degrees brr and that you have to shovel it or hire someone or ask someone …and besides it only looks good for the first day or two, after that between cities trying to get rid of it with dirty trucks with plows the snow turns black and cut off your driveway exit or entrance, never mind what the doggies do to it, mellow yellow…



NAH whenever I “think” I miss it I recall all that!



But then I remember the sledding and snowball fights and pushing it off the frozen ponds to skate and I get slightly nostalgic…but then I remember the worst of it and I am fine with my choice of becoming a Florida person all those years ago, Ta da!



I was a northerner for thirty-six years and only a southerner for these last nearly twenty-nine, and yep I like it better, I surely do!



Although, my heart goes out to my old school chums and friends and family having to contend with what the meteorologists have predicted to be quite a BLIZZARD starting tonight with heavy winds and two to three feet of snow!



Ah snow days and off from school, another fond memory of why I did love it when it snowed as a child… but over in the Second City AKA Chicago land it has been reported that they are considering doing away with “Snow Days”, by cyber sending the children their school assignments to continue to keep up with all their classwork… uh oh!

No more wearing those PJs inside out to make it snow, anyway it only worked half the time,  HA!

And so good for Chicago trying to make school a priority and those children will be better for it; albeit what if the power goes down or the wifi towers or however they plan on sending those little ones their lessons might hit a glitch, so kiddies get those sled and skates ready, it could happen, a true fun/break could ensue, ya know?



Lastly ole buddies up northern way be safe and careful and stay warm as you can for we are getting up there in all our ages and ice is a hazard more so these days than not, and driving should be minimized, better not at all, and wood should be chopped for those fireplaces, just in case and food stocked up and yes all gizmos in the tech realm should be charged… but remember those icicles can take down wires or even some towers come down, and just make sure you have alternate ways to communicate…that ‘s all…I'm saying.



And most of all know that we too here in chilly Florida might not be having snow, but it has not reached our usual normal weather that we call FLORIDA, we too are cold, and it was in the high forties last night and low seventies today here in Southwest Florida, can you imagine brr too?



But seriously folks our hearts and prayers go out to all of you and please stay warm and safe that’s all…



And know that we all care here in the Sunshine State… for we once were you… on that note of sincerity and concern, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages with you know who and we will too!



And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
