Ice fishing season opens in a few days, and the lakes are not frozen over! We've got no snow in southern Wisconsin :shrug:

5. Today our windchill factor is about 83 degrees
We've only got one season in Florida anymore. That can get boring real fast.

6. But its an ideal place to grow orchids.
I was down in Clearwater for a business trip once and it went into the forties at night. Some family without heat in their home used a space heater, which caused a fire, and they died. You hear about that a lot in northern cities, but it surprised me to hear it in the South.

15. Orchids do well here
I have a couple dozen hanging from my fruit trees and they bloom regularly without much help. I have dendrobiums, catyleas and vandas. But I'd still like a little change in season. I haven't even had to protect them this year it is so hot.

9. "Blech"?
Is that an affectionate term or a DU name?
