A rain, sleet and small snowflake wave came thru about 30 minutes ago. Nothing stuck since it's the temp guage is showing 37 degrees. I might sit in my hot tub if it starts snowing after dark. That would be a first for me.

I hear that doing the hottub outside then getting out in cold opens up the pores. It started raining down here early this morning. We may or may not get the snow right at the line

We didn't get in the hot tub. With the wind blowing we would have froze to death the 5 seconds it took to get from the tub back into the house. We didn't get it real bad, maybe half an inch or so. It looks like everyone else got it worse than we did.

Not a lot of snow last night, but there is ice underneath it.

That's about what our yard did look like this morning.

Now that the Disney trip is paid for I am starting to get other stuff me need for the trip. I ordered a camera bag for the Camcorder this morning. I also looked into having some special made t-shirts made with our names and first Disney trip and a picture of the Castle on them. My daughter thinks that I have totally lost my mind.

I have been a logistical planner forever, can't get past that. There are somethings you can wing it and somethings you really have to plan for. I want it to be extra special for my family and it's going to be. Our daughter has never been and she will be almost 18 so I want it to be a vacation that she never forgets.

I am surprised she want to go. I do the long term planning too. I booked a hotel in Ft Lauderdale for the day before our cruise in Oct. Found a deal on Groupon for indoor parking at the airport about 80 dollars for 9 days. We will fly done the day before. Stay at the hotel get up next morning eat breakfast grab shuttle to port

Long term planning? 30 days, maybe 60 at the most. Have to say I could be jealous of you two. Lol

Maybe a military thing. I know a couple of my positions required it.
