I think we're all a little weary of winter. Even my hubby said he was tired of the snow as more of it continued to fall. But at least only one more week of January after this one.Lucy Naylor Kubashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06595948650454049233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327711394794234168.post-39742557010280059072014-01-22T13:41:17.455-05:002014-01-22T13:41:17.455-05:00I'm so glad we made it down to Florida before ...I'm so glad we made it down to Florida before the "Polar Vortex" hit Michgan, but really, did you have to send a bit of it all the way down here? This was a case where TELL would have been better than SHOW. (To everyone up north, do stay warm. It recently turned cold down here, so I'm sure you're once again feeling it.)Marishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14714052867941990380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327711394794234168.post-64264720746833711632014-01-21T20:52:24.318-05:002014-01-21T20:52:24.318-05:00Polar Vortex = Winter Nightmare.

They don't seem to mind the snow.

It was unseasonably cold in the South too, but nowhere near as cold as what you experienced. Your vivid descriptions made me feel I was there with you--I even shivered while I was reading. Thanks for the chuckles too. Terrific post. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13746968540046472354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327711394794234168.post-91751141931820391192014-01-21T19:44:55.290-05:002014-01-21T19:44:55.290-05:00I'm tired of the cold weather.

She freaked me out when she just lay down out there and couldn't walk anymore. I ran outside screaming, carried her inside and snuggled with her, warming her feet. <br /><br />Can winter be done now?Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327711394794234168.post-88518820522122747542014-01-21T14:57:12.067-05:002014-01-21T14:57:12.067-05:00So that's why the dog wanted to go out every t...So that's why the dog wanted to go out every ten minutes!

And as the year that I stabbed myself in the leg with an ice scraper. And as the year that my hand nearly froze to the door handle at work. Good times, Polar Vortex. Good times. lolKatBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034419526903082887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327711394794234168.post-15460386661921123002014-01-21T13:11:33.789-05:002014-01-21T13:11:33.789-05:00Lucy, your take on your "fond" memories ...Lucy, your take on your "fond" memories had me smiling broadly.
