For us they're just saying a cold rain, but there might be a chance for white, flaky stuff toward the weekend.

Ice is not fun. I hate snow and cold, but ice is the worst. Here's hoping it's not too bad for everyone there.

I've been really cold this winter, so have been turning the thermostat up to 70 degrees when I'm home. I'm so ready to move south. I even told DH last week that I'll go ahead and find us a nice condo or townhome somewhere down south, and he can join me when he retires in 15 years. Of course when we win the HGTV dream home sweepstakes, we'll have that nice 2 million dollar home in the Florida Keys

So the $600 is for 1 month ... ouch! I hate to say it but some days when it's cold I put my thermostat on 75 degrees. I'm a whimp when it comes to cold. We have a 1-story house with very high or vaulted ceilings - great for the southern summers but not so great for winters.

Off to check out that dream home ... if I win I'll let you stay in it when we're not there!

That's how I feel too. We're going to Louisiana for the weekend. Hope it doesn't snow here.

Thanks for the marathon pics!

Ang

goofygal1975 · 01-16-2008, 02:02 PM

Great pics from the marathon...good to hear you made it back home safe!!

My mom sent me a link to win the HGTV house in the keys. I haven't looked at it yet...but I'm going to. I'd love to win that, if so we are all having a Dis party there!!

Our house is 2 stories...we have two ac/heater units. We never run the heat upstairs...my parents always run the heat downstairs..and when the fireplace is running we get the heat in our hallway. But during the summer we had to run the a/c alot up here.

Welcome back Peter!!!! Great pics and glad to hear they did well.

I'm still crossing my fingers for snow. If it happens I'll be sure to take pics. We're currently under a winter weather advisory, but it's mostly for the higher elevations.

rotary2808 · 01-16-2008, 05:11 PM

It's official: we have snow flurries!!!! They said there might be some accumulation on the grassy areas, but the ground is still too warm for it to affect the roads.

Heather, here is a picture of the 3 of us, only picture Caleb a little taller than me and slimmer, now (him, not me). I can't believe how much he's grown since our last cruise! This will be our 3rd cruise on the Magic. I'm glad that some people are thrilled with snow
