You know what's easier than shoveling snow off the driveway

[NightWatcher]

Living in Florida.

Sure we've got our crazies, but the weather makes it worth it.

1. I just flew back to Cleveland fro Las Vegas

They thought it was cold there, they have no Idea.

For the Florida thing, I agree 100% I have been trying to convince my daughter that she DOES NOT want to move back.

Got a message from my sister they were traveling and are snowed in in Branson.

2. I think I'm the only person in my neighborhood that owns a snow shovel

8. Last Christmas when I stayed at my parents' place

out in Dripping Springs, my windshield froze over. I don't own a scraper because that kind of thing almost never happens in Houston. It does happen in Central Texas, and yet, they don't own a scraper either (they keep all of their vehicles in their garage.) I had to get the ice off with a spatula!

10. Reminds me of an ice storm we had once when I was in the military

One of my comrades saw all of us dutifully scraping the ice off our windshields. Being from Florida, he didn't own one so he took a tire tool out of his trunk and started tapping the ice off with that. By the time he was done he had little spider webs all over his windshield. We never let him forget that.

3. Ha. Wuss! The correct answer is "flamethrowering it off!"

7. Consider this statement from the article you linked to

“illegal use of high-powered fire-breathing weaponry".

I highly doubt that there is a law that specifically regulates "high powered fire-breathing weaponry". But then maybe the town leaders are avid Dungeon and Dragons role players and they just confused their world of make believe with the real one just long enough to pass such a law.

12. Considering that fmobserver is a local satire website...

your statements are probably correct.

4. It sure is.

I had to turn my air conditioner on today.

9. Day before yesterday I was using my a/c

but then it got cold here, too. I'll be very happy when it's in the 80s again

5. Lived in Florida most of my life

until I moved here to North Georgia. We don't get that much snow, but I would rather shovel snow than deal with the heat and humidity of Florida.

6. Lived through a rough ice storm in Gainesville back in 03 or 04

It was freakin miserable. Downed limbs and a slick, steep driveway kept us home for almost a week.

13. It is getting cold in Florida; It will be 46 degrees next Tuesday night

14. Who cares, when you retire you can stay indoors

and wait for it to melt.
