No, very familiar with all that, grew up in Michigan. We get some cold here
in Jax but I do not miss that snow shovel. Besides that I can go boating
anytime  without the need for an ice breaker.
Come on down and try it, you might see the light.

Well Fred, when you get back to  Waterford, take a turn to starboard, then
Tug 44 won't have to sit in the cold  a*s mud all winter. Come on down to
Fl, leave the snow shovel at home. Bring a  funnel, we have lots of that red
stuff you enjoy, and warm weather to go with  it.

But ice-breaking is fun!  When they close the canal and drain it I usually
have to move the boat in the ice ... crack crack crack.
