Serves you right, you yankee-turned-redneck Judas! Thought that you could leave New jersey and all that cold (as well as us northerners) behind. We've been averaging 0*F for the last 2 weeks. Freeze, bum!

I almost moved to Hawaii many years ago. I was there on holidays and fell in love with the place, but I kinda like my Canadian citizenship.

Re: THIS is NOT what i moved to Florida for...
yeah.. I didn't think it was that bad.. I got out of work at 1 am. I was wearing shorts and a tshirt and didn't feel too cold. Heck I don't even own a jacket and the only long sleeve shirts I have are dress shirts.cd0156 wrote:WTF is this!?!? It was 27 degrees last night!!! My neighbors pipes froze and burst!!!

I got up this morning to take my son to school and all the cars had ice on them. All of them, except my van. I thought that was kinda wierd.
I thought it was a nice change though, I think the last time I saw ice on the ground here down here, I was maybe 10 years old. It's been a while..
I just wish it would stay colder a little longer.
