We complain about how cold it is, but northern Florida has 7 inches of snow.  They literally don’t know how to act.  The roads are a glare of ice and the freeways are shut down.  Their temps are below freezing so not much is melting so far.  They don’t have road salt and very few snow plows.  I’m hearing that Indiana is sending some plows down there.  As for us, last night was one of the coldest that we’ve had in a long time.  I had to carry my dog indoors after she did her business because her little feet were so cold that she couldn’t walk.  Thankfully, temps will start warming up tomorrow although still not seeing any highs reaching above freezing anytime soon.  It is what it is!
