Last week, I tried WinterFest, work's holiday party. It was an enjoyable time at the Botannical Conservatory (the exception of an allergy attack). It was nice to spend time with friends and talk about non-work related items. With the holidays, some are busy with family obligations, so this was a good time to get together. I swear, us Ladies in Red, did not plan to wear matching outfits. On Tuesday as we all unburied our cars from the snow, Steve said MrsSnowQueen must have been enjoying herself. I was until the drive home. 2 hours later, I finally made it. I swear we never went over 5 mph.
On Thursday, the ice storm hit. The weather people said it was the worse in 2 decades. James pointed out I was in Florida during the 3 hurricane summer, here last year during one of the top ten snowiest winters, and now the ice storm of 2008. What can I say, I have never denied having bad luck. Thankfully, I did not have to work, so I avoided the major chaos. I found the trees beautiful though. Walking on grass that was snow covered then iced over is an interesting experience. My favorite moment of the day was cracking the ice on my encapsulated car. There had to be over an inch of ice covering my car.
I know crazy girl from Florida enjoying the winter. Who knew?

Well, Melissa, as you know INVU. Enjoy the miracle and beauty of snow. Apparently, there are a lot of people who don't appreciate it.

I've had several people calling or writing to tell me its in the 80s in Florida. They're shocked when I say I don't miss it. Really, the holidays in sweltering weather does not impress.
Heh. My first winter here was the Blizzard of '78. It's all uphill from there.
