I was wondering if I should write Mr. Gore a letter about HIS global warming ideas. I guess I just want to tell him how I'm freezing here in Florida. I've been drinking hot tea and warm cocoa for days now. I'm wearing flannels, socks and heavy coats down here. As I'm writing this, it's 34 degrees and it's been this cold for days now. I ran four miles last night in 44 degree weather and my bare legs felt like ice cubes. We haven't seen 60 degrees in days!
Good Grief! This is Florida. My husband said he even saw what looked like traces of snow here this morning when he got up. In Florida? We woke up to 29 degrees. The only thing down here that's hot right now is this topic. It's all over the news. Shelters are opening up. Animal shelters are taking precautions. People are being told how to handle themselves, their homes and their pets during this unusual cold snap.
They're saying this is the coldest spell we've had in a decade. Last year we had a pretty cold winter. Orange crops were in danger then of heavy frosts with the owners of the orchards working 24/7 to keep them from frosting over by spraying them with water. Many people, here in my area, lost alot of their tropical plants and trees last year because it was so cold. Now I've heard it's going to be even colder this winter and everyone is scrambling to cover their tender vegetation.
So much for Global Warming.
