I'm trying to quickly add a post before the board closes:
Please keep the state of Florida and its citizens in your prayers tonight. We are in the midst of a major cold spell and the state might actually see snow down to Central Florida.
There are a lot of people that do not have heat (us included) and a lot of people on the streets. The shelters are overflowing and imagine braving a 35 degree night with shorts and a t-shirt!
Please offer an extra Hail Mary for all those people so that Mary might cover them in her warm mantle.
--------------------------------------------------------
Thank you all. We kept warm, sleeping with hoods on and the like and last night a friend of the family lent us a space heater. We woke up to frost on the windows!
God bless you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mimi - I am praying for. I shut down in the cold (and my heated house is toasty warm at 72° ) - I will be praying for you and all those suffering the Florida and the other Southern states which are not used to this Arctic spell.
Practical advice for you - hot water bottles if you have them, make sock rice baggies for hands and feet, this is the time to do a family sleepover in your bed with all the children!! Lots of hot tea or cocoa. I would imagine all the little heaters in places like Target etc are sold out.

Hi Mimi...I wasn't posting Saturday night, but I was reading and offered prayers that all of you would be able to stay warm. It's been CRAZY cold here as well, uncharacteristically cold with lows in the single digits and highs not going above freezing. Brrrr!!!!
Anyway, glad to read that you all bundled up and stayed warm!

Wow, wow. Just reading this Tuesday, Mimi. Did you make it through or are the temps still dipping?
