For a second you think he's gonna say "show love to those who are showing us hate" when the message is actually "show love to our people" and that feels like a significant vibe shirt over the last 10 years

Kind of looking like we may do better tonight. :D
A little better than hours at ~25F at least.
Still a freeze but not as hard.
I'll be up and out to feel it before sunrise in any case.

A little disappointed I wasn't tapped to help run any FEMA cold relief spots this year and hope it's because I didn't finish enough online training modules rather than simply leaving more people to tents and campfires this year. :/

i remember reading stories of people collecting "dead" invasive iguanas during a Florida cold snap, only to have them wake up in the warm car on the drive home. Mayhem ensued 😹😬

I hear FWC is trying to convince people this cold snap will be a perfect opportunity to collect and euthanize invasive amphibians or reptiles. :/
They aren't wrong but I've found it's really hard to get convince people their role is executioner of some strange little animals.
