Florida Winter

So we have been having some pretty cold temperatures here in Florida. The other morning, we woke up to ice. We only get ice here about twice a year, if that.

My husband, who is from Alaska, was a little worried because we don't own ice chippers for the windshield. (I didn't even know they made ice chippers). All it took was to turn the defroster on for a few minutes, and the ice melted. I took some pictures for all of you up North to see. Yes, there is ice in the pictures.
Steve's truck with ice on the windshield and hood.
Ice on my Explorer.




One lonely bush outside covered in ice.
At least this year Steve remembered to turn off the sprinklers. During our one freeze last year, Steve ran the sprinklers that night. We had a lovely ice kingdom in our front yard, and some few dying plants. :) Today, it is about 65 degrees and we are in jeans and sweaters. Can't wait for it to warm up!
