Yep, same here. The furnace is working pretty hard. It's pretty funny how fast the dogs can do "their business" when they want to. It's going to be rainy and 45 degrees next week. Pot holes and water main breaks, here we come.

We got lucky and only had enough snow to make an appearance, and it didn't stay down to form a sheet of ice.
The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.
it's -9 F right now here and will probably drop another 10-15 degrees or so tomorrow. should be interesting. i hope the mail carriers take the day off.

Yep. I love the weather in Georgia. Our family had a Condo in FL for the last twenty years, so I'm quite familiar with the state, but unless you're on the coast, it gets HOT. Not that it doesn't get nut-sweating hot here, but it's hotter there. And I'd take either before living up north. Sadly(or happily, depending on how you look at it), if Arizona proves to help my wife's illness, we might be moving there or Utah later this year. I guess that's about as far from snow as you can get. And water... And anything else that isn't scaly, with eight legs, or bites.

Michigan Governor has enacted a state of emergency. Usually I dislike over hype of weather situations, but this is over the top for us. If the power outages start to get widespread, it could be dangerous.
After living in Florida there is no way I would go back to that.
After being stationed in GA there’s no way I’d go back to that (the south.) It’s too hot down there! Staying warm is easy, it’s keeping cool in the summer that’s hard! Much over 70F and I’m uncomfortable.

Yeah...it's always easier to "layer up" and get warmer...there's only so many clothes you can peel off to cool down though.

For this warm-blooded Southerner, there comes a point when cold temps physically hurt. Heat can be uncomfortable, but cold can cause real pain. I'll stay in the South.

This is what I'll be listening to in NYC the second week of March while I'm freezing my ass off (as I did last April when a major winter storm hit the Plains and Midwest, named "Xanto")...
All the stations up here don't sign off with Dixie The way they did in sweet home Alabama And the people here don't sip Jack Daniels whiskey The way they do in that Tennessee mountain land
I've always heard lots about the big apple So I thought I'd come up here and see But all I've seen so far is one big hassle Wish I was camped out on the Okeechobee
If this is the promised land, I've had all I can stand And I'm headed back below that Dixie line No I just don't fit in and I'll never come back again But I'm busted here with Dixie on my mind Oh, I'm stuck up here and I got Dixie on my mind
These people never smile or say a word They're all too busy tryin' to make an extra dime Oh, I'd love to haul 'em all down around Spartanburg And show 'em how to raise hell in Carolina
Oh, the things you know that I miss most of all Is the freedom of the rivers and the pines They don't do much huntin' and fishin' up here, ya know But I have met a few squirrels and one porcupine
Well if this is the promised land, I've had all I can stand Wish I was down in Houston town tonight Now I just don't fit in and I'll never come back again I'm busted here with Dixie on my mind Oh, I'm stuck up here and I got Dixie on my mind
