My pipes have been dripping since last week sometime. A water main broke down here yesterday morning and we didn't have water until 930 last night. I can only think that it was weather related. I mean, come on, 14 degrees in Florida?! It was colder here yesterday than it was in New York, Raleigh, and Atlanta! Not complaining....but really!

You beat me to it!

I hate to miss a set up

I-4 had a depression in it they believe was related to the millions of gallons of water pumped from the aquifer to save the strawberry farms.

Didn't seem that cold the other day. Went outside for less than 5 minutes barefoot.

Came back in...couldn't feel the bottom of my feet for probably 2 minutes

Ready for some warm weather myself.

Amen Andy!

I don't live here to be cold!

It's supposed to warm up significantly over the weekend (Friday/Sat/Sun). Unfortunately, I'm leaving at 6 am on Friday for Tennessee and returning on Monday at around midnight!

...just when it warms up...timing is everything!

Today was the first nice day in about 2 weeks with a temp around 70. Looks like the super cold is gone for a while.
