Default We're Not in Kansas...

I wouldn't try to walk on it, but that's ice under The VEE!!! Things don't freeze in southeastern Louisiana often, but when they do, we gotta put on a jacket for almost the entire morning!!! Where the hell did that stuff come from?Picture 040.jpg

26 degrees when I woke up, here in NE FL. More ice this morning than I think I've seen all winter. Actually, we did have snow flurries on Dec 26th during the tailgate before the Jags game. It's been a brutal winter, so far.

What CTT said. Hell, that ain't ice under that V...more like frozen foam. I remember back in the 70's we drove our cars on the ice on Barnaget Bay. One kid was using his grandmas brand new stationwagon and decided to drive over to Seaside Park from the Toms River side...(about a mile?) made it about half way across...kid lived..car didn't. I think that all totaled there were 6 cars that went in the bay. It's really wierd (and scary) to be walking or skateing on the ice and hear it crack... the tides lift the ice and it cracks and reforms, then cracks again etc... you hear this really low, very loud crack and it sets the nerves a tingling. The ice was over a foot thick in most places. Great ice fishing for white perch.

My point is, we got game and we got ice. GO JETS...GO PACKERS

The guy across the canal from me is from Long Island and he keeps going out there with one of those hockey sticks and some skates. He taps on it it a coupla times, curses about something or other and goes back inside. I think he's homesick.
