Our morning temperature was -12°F and I had to carry my dog in after she did her business.  Her little feet just couldn’t handle it.  We have bright sun today, but it isn’t doing much to warm it up.  They were telling us that we could expect a warmup by the second week of February, but now they aren’t so sure.  I think we’ll be needing an extra gas fill up this year.  We can usually get by with two in the winter, but we usually don’t have unrelenting cold like we do this year.  Ryan Hall, YouTube weather analyst, said that with this next round of polar air, Florida could see Gulf effect snow showers.  That would be a first, and a real shock to the snow birds who go there every winter.
