Commuting to work is going to be a joy.

Yeah, I teased a bit but it was meant in a good natured way, especially since I knew on Sunday that snow was likely coming.

Hi Rachel and OldTryGuy,
My post was sardonic, but written in camaraderie with restraint when I wrote:

Actually @rachel120, I think we even had a couple of days in the 50’s in February. In fact, I dislike those brief warm spells since I need to carry more stuff to anticpate a wider temperature range that will dissipate so quickly.
And, @OldTryGuy, I did insert your location (SW FL) into my quote of you. BTW, I don’t list mine under my avatar, but it is “D’uh.”
