My wife is freaked out by that too. Someday, we are going to go back to Key West (where we had our honeymoon) and I want to take Highway 1 down (we flew on a puddle jumper last time which freaked me out a little bit lol) and she's not going to like that drive.
One of my kids drove that but I would have no desire to do that at all!

That lady seems a few apples short of a fruit basket. Especially considering this is the response from an actual climate scientist:



"Dreading for a long time".........? What's a long time in her book..........4 months?

Because I remember well just 2 seasons ago the "dreading" had nothing to do with water. What a bunch of useless tools.

I think we're getting lucky with this slow thaw. Just above freezing for like 7-8 days in a row, letting the snow pack melt slowly. We'd have a real mess if it had ramped up to 50 degrees right away.

Especially since a lot of drifts are in places a lot of people aren't used to. I think we'd see a lot of people finding water running to places it wasn't expected.

It's wild you can have a forecast where the daytime high and the overnight low only vary 5-8 degrees for an entire week.

I don't know if I've ever experienced that before.

We drove highway one three weeks ago for the first time. The views were not as awesome as I was expecting. The first 60-70 mikes was not that cool, except the alcohol at the gas stations was much cheaper on the way down. No we didnt drink and drive. We will fly directly to Key West if there is a next time.

My main reason is that I didn't like the puddle jumper that we flew into Key West on. I think it was an 8 seater, and I was sitting behind the (older) pilot judging his health, watching the gauges, judging the mental stability of the passenger that sat next to him and how I would have to choke him out if he went for the stick. In short, I'm better flying if you just put a wall between me and what's going on lol

Isn't there a speed ferry you can take from the port in Fort Myers? I thought somebody told me that was the way to do it....

No way I could get my wife in the car with me if I said we were going to drive down there.
