Since we are not allowed to comment in the Winter Depression Thread, I am starting one where those of us in warmer climates can discuss our happiness about playing in the pleasant cooler months in this joyous season called WINTER!

I just bought a FLSTC back in March. It's beautiful riding weather down here which is enhancing my winter happiness. Photo evidence.

Yupp, it's a good time. Taking kids to ski this weekend and Monday! Playing golf in 45 deg weather next Friday! I might breakout my gloves.

@CarlSpackler, in case you don't know what it is, skiing is something that's done of stuff whiter and softer than Florida beach sands. :-P

I've only been here 6 months and 1 day, so I do know what skiing is. I just always HATED it because the white stuff you refer to is very cold and quickly turns to a greyish mush that refreezes when the sun goes down. If I so desired, there is an indoor skiing / snowboarding facility at the end of my street. 

I have won some tickets to the Diamond Resorts Invitational Golf Tournament this weekend at Tranquillo Golf Resort. I might get some golf in, but this is what I will be doing for a majority of the weekend. Hopefully I don't forget my sunscreen. I'm still not used to needing it in January. :-P

Mother Nature is soooo cruel, she gave us a record High today, but teased us with 45 mph wind gusts all day.   :cry:
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day ...

Don't be bringing that negativity in here. That belongs in that other thread. :-P

Looking forward, once Old Man Winter releases the south land from his icy grip (tomorrow...they say) to getting back out on the dormant bermuda and knocking the pill around.

In der bag:

Not for us. Temps in the 70s and 80s for the most part. Other than limited daylight, it's the best time of year to play.

I simply created a space for those of us who are banished from the Winter Depression thread. Not everyone has to be depressed. ;-)

Local lady won $2M on an instant scratch off lottery ticket.   I was asking the SO what she'd do with the $1.3M payoff.   (We don't play).  She didn't say anything about golf!     I'm afraid I'd buy a place to be able to play when the weather turns bad here in Michigan.  

A man can dream!

Ha-ha-ha!  Have we been officially banished?  I haven't visited since my annual taunting post from a few weeks ago.

You guys are definitely not making points with the "real" winter folks. . .  :-D

It is a depression thread after all! I thought we were merely doing our part. @CarlSpackler should post the group pic from our late December outing. That will surely get a lifetime ban from the thread.

We are "real winter folks", but we happen to love winter. ;-)
