Please remember to use your blinkers...if you miss your turn, there's another block just ahead where you can turn around...please don't try to cross from the right lane to the far left turn lane without at least checking your rear view mirror...please at least drive the speed limit and not 10 mph under with your arm out the window pointing at the water or a pelican... read the brochure of the event you may want to do...before asking questions with said brochure in hand...
Early bird specials usually start at 4 and end at 6...
Be a good snowbird...
Dude, I'm only 42 now, and will be in early 50's when I start migrating to Gulfport. I have more trouble keeping it under the speed limit than getting up to it. But, for the sake of not p**sing off the locals, I'll go to Amazon and buy " Snowbirding for Dummies" before we start the migration.

I lived in Gulfport...beware of the Gulfport 6 pack and the unmarked that sits on the corner of 58th St. S. and Shore Blvd...you do 38 in a 35...busted.
They really got a Snowbirding for Dummies?

It's turned to rain south of Atlanta, freezing rain, sleet and 30 degrees. The only ice I want to see on the ground is from a spilled boat drink. Time to move back to FLA

If not, we should write it. We could make a million
Of course the locals would hate us for enabling more "Bluehairs" to make the trek down.

Well it is a slushy morning
Primary roads in the upstate are scraped
side roads are still a bit slippery
Be safe out there

I'm with you on that. We're expecting snow and freezing rain tonight
into Friday. With a high temp on Sunday of 15 deg f with 20 to 30 mph
winds. But tomorrow it'll hit 40 f. You never know how to dress from
one hour to the next in PA.

amen! Unless I'm getting a credit back on my school taxes, the rugrats need to be in school gettin' edjumakated.
Of course, around here, they tend to cancel due to overcast skies...

It was a tepid 8 degrees when I walked from the parking garage to my building (2 blocks) today. It froze my hair.
It's too cold to snow.
Somebody hold me.

The snowfall has just started in earnest here. The schools already had a half-day planned (In-Sevice day for teachers), so no worries about early closure or unsafe bus rides home.
It's supposed to turn to rain overnight. Should be nothing but a memory by tomorrow morning's rush.

Come hold me. It was -20 when I came to work this morning. I hate this valley in the winter.
Got to -32 overnight.
