What's outside of your picture window today?

I bet that had to be a shock moving to Florida just in time for the snow! That had to be challenging at the time but it certainly made for some interesting memories! As a northerner it is shocking to see how everything came to a screeching halt with a couple inches of snow last week. For us, that’s just another winter day. Do you kids remember the adventure?

Snow in Florida!!!! 🌨️☃️
What's next?...a balmy 110 degrees in Alaska?!!!! 😂
Yes they were almost 12 and 16yo. They had fun! We did not. I think if I had it to do over maybe I would have sent our dog with them. He drove us nuts all night. Scared and unfamiliar surroundings. If my son was around he would quiet down and enjoy whatever came his way. We barely had a inch on the ground. But we have a long and winding driveway up a hill.
I sure was not driving on it. Some of our curtains had not been put up. We have over 20 windows. But we were young and adventurous.🙂

@loribmt, and all... Yep... We Floridians have no idea what to do with snow! Ice is even more devastating to us poor novices... So, we just sit back and relax, enjoy the snow as best we can. We do have a lovely roaring fire and fireplace on YouTube, so we can enjoy the beauty. Put on special music, treat with a hot cocoa or even better and hot tottie with Southern Comfort!
Oh, stay off the roads for your own safety. We don't know how to drive in ice and snow! Lots of accidents, bridges closed due to wind and ice... pitiful, isn't it?
Most offices and all government buildings close, schools close, and we have a snow day! Walk to the grocery store or take a nice slow walk with friends, family to enjoy the day.
So, my dear northern friend, relax and enjoy with all your knowledge on hold. Just wait a day or two and it'll all be normal, temps in the 50s,60s,70s in no time. I had trouble this year covering my poor outside front plants as well as my patio pots. It was tough physically, but got it done. Now, all the filthy covers are piled at the front door waiting to be inside and laundered for use one more time this year or again next year. My patio babies are still covered, much to my horror. I haven't been able to do that yet, but may today before going to Mayo for tests. We'll see.
Enjoy your Florida experience, my friend. It's new and interesting. May cause a chuckle or two, but it is tough for we who have sand between our toes. Please understand and be kind to us... Blessings, Elizabeth
