Being here in Florida I can't help but feel concern for all our My lot sisters and brothers. Please stay safe and warm and follow all the warnings that are going your way. When you warm up, let us know you are alright. We all worry about each other on here.

I drank a small bottle of vodka just to feel warm because of the freeze. I had been eating a lot of soup too,

Vodka sounds like plan. Drat. It's 60 degrees here. I'll need another excuse.

@TheHorse My mouth is smoking, As a person who grew up in the tropics, this is a weird experience for me.

What state are you in? 25 isn't bad. I remember being below zero in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania and I still went to work. I was lucky as my car had a remote heater/air conditioner in it so I would start my car up at 3am from the window and then get in the shower and when I was ready to leave the house the car was nice and warm.

@Spontaneo Is it warming up now a little? I am enjoying all my fleece tops that I brought with me when we moved here.

@ramapo17 I do not state my location on-line. There are creepers out there. But, we were told this was the worst we have had in 20 years.

Getting ready to do chores soon. But will be back later. I put on several layers which helps a lot.

You're a very sweet hearted person. So far my winter has been spared and has been mostly mild.

@ramapo17 Heavy sweaters in Florida? That sounds strange.

@sallypup It does but I am so glad I didn't get rid of everything when we moved here. I am hating the thought of the heat that will be coming here soon.

Good for you @sallypup. I am in Florida and I am enjoying the colder weather and I love wearing all my heavy sweaters that I brought when we moved here from Pennsylvania. I am glad I didn't get rid of everything then.

Cold weather is never really life-threatening here, not to the degree that is is in the States. I do hope everyone stays safe.

Being from Arizona I cannot fathom that kind of cold. I keep seeing friends posting about it and I just hope they keep safe, stay warm and have a lot of snacks so they don't have to go out in that cold.
