I grew up in the Midwest and lived there until 2001 when I moved to the Tampa area. The first winter wasn't too bad as I had moved in September. But let me tell you after that first winter, I froze when I came back to the Midwest to visit my family.<br />I remember one New Year's Eve. I worked that day as I had taken vacation around Christmas. A friend, who had lived in Tampa all her life, and I went out to lunch. As it happened, Iowa was in the Outback Bowl that year. I think it was probably in the 60's that day, maybe 50's. Both my friend and I had jackets on but all the Iowa fans coming into the same restaurant were in shorts and t-shirts!Phyllis Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176634336940176771noreply@blogger.com
