<shudders> I do NOT, NOT, miss the snow and ice and blasting frigid winds. Now it did get cold (for down here at least) the last two days and fell into the low 50s at night. When you have been used to mid 90s to upper 80s for months (and with high humidity from late May until October) that is frigid. It got up to 70 today and will be in the 80s tomorrow so very comfortable as the humidity on this side of the state isn't bad except in the summer. The next several months will be wonderful weatherwise, warm most of the time, generally 70s to low 80s with low humidity during the day and usually 50s at night for good sleeping weather. No need for AC during these months. Does occasionally get down as far as 38 at night but goes back up once the sun is up. Snowbirds are back and some of them were freaking out about a baby alligator that was seen crossing a yard during the day. Don't know why some people come down here when the wildlife scares them so badly. Alligators may look scary but aren't dangerous unless you get stupid. Now I worry more about the Nile monitor lizards and Burmese pythons that have gotten into the south part of the county. They will be a problem here soon. We also have a coyote running around the neighborhood.
It was an interesting season, to say the least. Now it's on to winter, and meteorological winter starts at midnight local time tomorrow. Laura, how was your Thanksgiving? How are you doing lately? It seems like you have pleasant weather now. Today we have 45 and sunny after getting close to 5 inches of lake-effect snow this week.
Dodged.

Glad this season is over.
