You Floridians make me sick. This morning I awoke to -4?F (actual 
temperature, not windchill). When I went to get the mail at 10:30 it was 
all of 8?F and I had to scrape a ? inch of ice off the truck windshield. It 
is supposed to get up into the 40s later this week. God, I hope so. I've 
got a terrible case of cabin fever.
