The sun is shining bright and clear Such a pretty day is here But, ohhh this cold that's on my feet Certainly doesn't feel so very sweet And my hands are kinda numb Not much feeling in my thumb But, it seems the rest of me Is staying warm how can this be So to get more socks here I go This will help I sure hope so But what about these hands of mine Typing with socks makesNOT a straight line . . . . . wonder if I could use these great big fuzzy slippers on my hands????? Brrrrrrrrrr...(well, ya'll, it IS cold for Florida...) |

Paladin, yeah I live up here closer to the Alabama line, and it always gets a little colder up here. I guess it feels colder because we just aren't used to it....  "Love makes the world go around" |

Thanks for the hug, Seymour. I'll bet it is a lot warmer in your part of Florida. Especially with your living up North before, it probably feels really good. You know, though, the cold down here is a different type, it seems. When i was in Germany, years ago, it snowed a lot, but it didn't seem to feel this cold. Of course, we had warmer clothes over there than we buy here. Thanks... ~Ethel~ |

Ethel, Cute poem. Enjoyed. Here in this part of northern CA. we've had a very mild winter. (so far) My daughter told me when I was deciding if I should move up here to the foothills (I hate snow and cold and hot summers in three digits, ugh!) from S.F. Bay Area "Oh, don't worry, mom, it hardly snows at all here" HA! That winter I was snowed in for a week.... But, not this year, just two mild snow storms that didn't last but a day or two....today, the sun is shining here too and almost feels like spring. Sending you some warm hugs, Pat  Hugs, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Is it 30, as it's here? and that is warm to us, my dear.. yesterday? Just a mere eight... is this the cold that you relate? Or are you a balmy forty-five? And do your rosey roses thrive? Or do you see the fog in air? Is it really all that chilly there?  |

Pat, I love the pictures and movies I've seen that were made in California. Especially the ones of the California beaches. It looks like a beautiful place. Thanks for the warm hugs...... Thank goodness, it's not supposed to stay this cold for very long. If I could just keep my feet and hands warm, I'd be okay. "Love makes the world go around" |

Laughing.... ....I know a "wet cold" is much different than a "dry cold" Ethel...I grew up in California, and lived not but 15 miles as the crow flew from the seashore. When that fog would creep in, it was teeth-chattering, bone-chilling COLD! NOT AT ALL like the dry cold of the midwest, where the snow crunches under your footsteps, and for water, you go out and boil up the icicles...of course, hanging out the wash to dry is a lot of fun...freeze drying the clothes and they can just about walk back into the house... |

Geez Ethel, Sorry that you're in the deepfreeze. We're having a colder spell for a few days as well. (8 degrees, last night) And now you know first hand, why I'm not around too much. Typing with frozen fingers is torturous. Get warm, Ed |

ROTFL at this thread. OK, I'll behave. I lived for a few years in the Tallahassee area, and remember temps getting into the teens for a few days, and many people had frozen pipes. As for Alaska? That temp still requires having camel hair bikinis ready for those early afternoon moments of sunshine. No, you can't wear booties on your hands! Wranx has discovered that truth. |

Karilea, no wonder you picked your name......"Sunshine". You've been so cold at times and saw so much fog, that you were ready for all the sun, weren't you??  Stay warm, Lady.. |

Ed, when I got up this morning, (out from under the electric blanket), to turn the heater on, I thought of you when I couldn't get my feet and hands warm. It's still not down to 8 degrees, though. I know what you mean about typing with cold hands, now, though. It's kinda hard, isn't it? Ooooohhhhhhhh You stay warm, too, buddy.. |

Hi Cerenity  Yeah, I'll be waiting for some of that warm 80 degree weather..... Tell your friend to stay warm. My parents live about an hour's drive away from me, and my Dad said there's an article in the paper telling people what to do in this hard freeze. He said they're a little late with their warnings.....HaHa!! |

Ethel, I'm ready for Spring. We are having our coldest and snowiest Winter in three years. It was in the teens last night. The snow has turned into a slippery glaze on the side streets of Philly. The main streets are okay, of course, had to have them cleared for the Big Game on Sunday!! Gooooooo Eagles!!!!! (sorry, Bucs fans!) |

 (big hugggsssssssss) Oh Ethel, it is the opposite over here in Colorado, where usually it is cold upn here but it is over 60 degrees here, yet it is so icy cold in my heart! (sad sigh) Let's send some of the warmth from the equator over to Florida again, this is touching, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Golly gee Aenimal ya know that -30 celcius is about -20 fahrenheit... Weather here is really cooooold too as it's about -27 celcius (-17 fahrenheit) so you got some one else experiencing that darn artic cold front that won't seem to go away these past few days... Brrrrrr I can't wait to get back home where such stats only appear on the weather channel and I don't have to layer clothing and wear insulated boots and not have to cover every inch2avoid windchill frostbite LOL... *~coco~* |

Forget it, Ethel. I've been trying to get some sympathy, too, but it ain't working. It's cold all the way down here in Ft. Lauderdale, too! My hands were so cold this morning I could barely hold the golf club! It's brutal!!!!  |

HaHa!! Balladeer..... I really didn't expect all these replies. It kinda made me feel bad when everybody started talking about it being 8 degrees or below. But, it really did get into the low twenties here night before last....and yesterday I couldn't get my feet or hands warm, it seemed. I think the wind blew a lot of cold air in. It's nearly time for the 10:00 news, so I'm going to see what the weather's going to be tomorrow...  "Love makes the world go around" |

Ethel, thanks for the smile It's kinda cold here, but not too bad. Heck, it doesn't seem to bother the pelicans and gulls at all. They're still camping out on my boat LOL The stars will shine when I am gone, |

Well hello Michael I've really been missing you around here. I hope all is well with you. I'm glad that it made you smile. Yeah, it was real cold for a few nights. It's supposed to be in the 30's tonight, and then warmer tomorrow night. Maybe it'll warm back up. I hope so. I'm just not used to being so cold that my feet won't get warm...HaHa!! Hey, it sounds like you really do live in Paradise right by the water..... Thanks for stopping by, friend..... "Love makes the world go around" |
