DUers down south - staying warm?

[Grammy23]

25. It's 31 in Pensacola with wind chill of 22 as I write this.

The bird feeder (which I refilled this a.m.) and has had exactly ONE visitor now has icicles forming off of its roof. The patio chairs and table are covered in a coating of ice that keeps building up and the icicles are getting longer.

So yeah, it's a cold day here in NW Florida. Roads are probably not going to be easy to navigate and we really don't have the equipment to do massive mitigation against the icing on bridges and overpasses. Best defense for most of us is to just stay home. And that's what my husband and I are doing.

It will be really cold (for here) another day and by the weekend we'll be back in the 60s. Maybe close to 70. Not rubbing it in for the rest of you guys who won't see temps like that for months. Just saying, the weather here can swing wildly back and forth and usually does in a typical winter. But this winter has been a pip in that regard. Probably one of the coldest we've had in many a year.
