This Floridian agrees that we can be FloriDuh--but ............

1. I've learned to embrace the snow (Michigan)

I'll I need to a side-by-side of the biggest bug within a 100 yards of your house, next to the biggest within 50 miles of my house.

[etherealtruth]

2. Though I generally love the snow ....

Your post did bring a big smile to my face

[Little Star]

3. It's cold here.....

So right about now I like your Sand/Snowman mush better than what we're going to have very soon. Maybe even by tomorrow, yuck!

[HockeyMom]

4. I have a 3 foot ceramic Snowman (under my palm tree)

with a decorative shovel next to him that says "Let it SNOW". My mailbox has a cover over it with a snow covered log cabin and deer sitting in the woods. My neighbors decorate with Pink Flamingos wearing Santa hats.

I prefer the snowman to the pink flamingos. To each his own, no matter where you live.

5. I love Florida it's just a majority of the people are

Republicans.

[doc03]

6. Since you live there how has it become so politically f---d up? Would you

say it is the rich "Snowbirds" or the resident red necks?

[JCMach1]

7. Low 80's today... Winter, I laugh in your general direction...

from here in N. Florida

[awoke_in_2003]

8. Native Buckeye here...

but I dig that sandman

[MineralMan]

9. Uh, OK, but which state has two Democratic Senators

and a Democratic Governor, along with a working State ACA Exchange site,

Florida or Minnesota?

I'll take the snow, I think. Enjoy your beach.

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. Yes, but you have a crap football team so...

On Wisconsin!

[MineralMan]

11. I don't have a football team. I just live in a state with one or two.

I'm not a Vikings or Gophers fan anyhow.

I'm a Nebraska Cornhuskers and Green Bay Packers fan of longstanding.

Still, football is not all that interesting to me in the first place.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Yes you do... sorry!

And I LOVE football, so..when I think of your state I think "crap football team, so no thanks!" However, I am hopeful that Peterson was not too seriously injured today.

[trumad]

22. What the fuck is wrong with you?

I said we were FloriDuh--- I make fun of my fucking state every fucking day.

So---I post that we have warm weather--- and that's about all we have and you pull this shit.

Really dude. you've got some weirdness.

[MineralMan]

12. I'll send you a photo of me fishing on a lake when the

next hurricane wipes out one of your cities. How would that be, Trumad?

Childish taunts are, well, childish taunts.

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. I think you appear to be the one taking it to a childish level MM, as evidenced

by your response to my post in this thread. Relax a little.

[MineralMan]

16. Thanks for your advice.

I'll give it due consideration.

I don't find weather taunts to be that amusing. I humbly beg your pardon for that.

Much of the country is in the midst of a winter weather emergency. Some folks are dying because of it. I find it difficult to take that lightly, you see.

Yes, it's quite cold here, and nice and warm in Florida. It's a big country. I'll be out shoveling snow tomorrow morning again, because I live in a state that has a cold winter. Trumad lives in one that has destructive hurricanes. Weather.

You needn't take part in discussions I'm having with other DUers. If you do, however, I will respond to your posts as I choose to respond.

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Any time I can offer you advice, just ask.

However, you appeared a bit angsty on this thread to an age-old tradition of warm weather vs. cold weather... It's not the end of the world.

It's freezing here in Houston right now, at just shy of 50, but that's beside the point. Sometimes you need to take a breath and walk away. Life is short. Trust me.

[trumad]

19. That's all right

The dude is a Hall Nanny on Steroids.

[trumad]

18. Really?

Is that what you got out of this.

An Ex-Gay Bashing Freeper scolding me.... LOL

[MineralMan]

20. Nice, Trumad.

Surely you can do better than a personal attack...

[trumad]

21. Dude---you are a stalker.

You stalk every post I make--- and then pull your Nanny shit every time.

[MineralMan]

32. Not even close to being true.

15. We're all bummed here in Houston. It's unseasonably freezing (had to cover palms)

AND our state's football teams suck.

[Rstrstx]

24. I thought it stayed above 30 in Houston

Any landscape palm suitable for there would have been fine in this type of cold. It has sucked down here in the southland but temps didn't go below the upper 30s so no damage, some tropical fruit trees dropped their leaves but that's about it. Hope after this front that will be it for the winter.

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. Nope, sometimes we'll get a week of freezing temps.

I've lost far too many landscape palms to take the chance. I'm on my second pair of the two that I cover.

[Rstrstx]

29. What kind are they?

Queens or pygmy dates? Those are the only palms that might be sold as landscape plants in the area that may have been affected by recent winters (2010 and 2011). Palms like majesties or triangles are too tender for landscape use north of Galveston, and even there they're not guaranteed. I was around in the '80s, I definitely know how cold it can get in TX.

[Kingofalldems]

23. Wish I was there.

A shitstorm up here in Md. Snow then sleet then freezing rain.

[CFLDem]

25. I miss the snow sometimes

but I sure as heck don't miss driving in it!

Plus it was nice to going swimming today after relaxing on the beach that is my backyard.

[Rstrstx]

26. Well for the record I love Florida

Never go in the winter though, too many snowbirds, they're more manageable here in South TX or even in AZ. But spring and fall are great times to go to FL.

In the old days if it got too cold here we'd drive down to Mexico - Puerto Vallarta is fabulous in January - but that's not really an option thesedays. Nowadays we just tough it out through a few days of bitter cold (40s-50s) and it'll soon bounce back to more livable levels.

[dionysus]

27. i'll take the snow, you can have your hurricanes.

[trumad]

31. Hell---NY get's the Hurricanes---and snow

[Jamaal510]

30. It's not snowing

here in Humboldt County, but it has been so cold this past week that the only thing that's preventing it from snowing is the fact that Arcata, Eureka, and other cities are immediately on the coast, so the Eastward winds from the ocean "moderate" the weather. It's strange, considering that NYC happens to be near the same latitude, yet they get snow. I sorta wish it could snow here, though, because I have never been anywhere that snows in my entire life; just here, the Bay Area, L.A., Vegas, Fort Worth, and Sanford, FL. Nevertheless, I prefer this weather over the warm weather in FL; at least when it is cold, it is easier to warm up than it is to cool off in warm or hot weather, plus I don't have to worry about randomly sweating.

[HereSince1628]

33. Just to be clear...

Standing around waiting for a bus in the wind on a cold morning, THAT -is- cold...



Winter sports are so cool, they are HOT!



Above 30F, it's time to break out the lounge chairs for doses of vitamin D and serotonin!

[Rex]

34. As long as you have that criminal governor, it is FloriDuh

but don't fret...a lot of us are in the same boat. I live in TexDuh.

[Nye Bevan]

35. Had to scrape half an inch of ice off my car this morning,

so I am officially jealous of the snowsand guy.

[LWolf]

36. I love the snow.

It's the frozen pipes and the ice on the INSIDE of the windows I'm struggling with.
