Only in Florida

Well, it has been frigid here in Jacksonville this past week. Northerners: stop your eye rolling. It's gotten down to 25-deg every night. And, people, there's even talk of some flurries or sleet tomorrow and this weekend.

Everyone is talking about Christmas, 1989 - the last time it snowed in Jacksonville. They closed down the bridges. Cars tried to drive up them only to slip back down. Firefighters and policemen were ordered to report to the nearest station because many could not get to their designated stations. There is no salt. There are no plows. We'd have better luck ice skating to work than driving.

I saw this news story today. I can't remember where I heard about this before: one of Moses' plagues or a sign of the apocalypse. Either way....only in Florida.
