12:30pm and not above freezing. Roads closed because of ice. Overpasses and bridges are deadly. No equipment to do anything down here. A little sand here and there but that's about it. Supposed to go up to the 70s again by this weekend.
Everyone that wants cold weather to knock down the flea, tick and roach population are happy but will probably find it to be less than effective this summer.
The cold is nice if the wind stays down. Better a few days of this than several months.
The swimming pool is salt water but there was a slight skin of ice at the stairs with pump running continually. That kind of surprised me.
As a long time transplant this is not all that bad if you use some common sense. Watching people who have no experience, have seldom if ever seen ice or snow, much less tried to drive in it, is scary. Macho tendencies tend to prevail with ensuing rude awakenings.
The lovely but mysterious far far eastern sometimes soaping assistant, lovely wife and mother of my children has found herself running around in the yard having a ball and squealing, taking many pictures.
