My friends up there have told me to pack my long-sleeve clothes in my return for the BC....I'm looking forward to it.....Hell, it was 89 degrees in Ocala yesterday, so I have gladly forgotten what the winter feels like

Bellamy-
I'm from MN, and I go to Keeneland every December for their handicapping contest. If you escaped to KY to escape winter, it's not much better there. It's a lil better, but not much. I know Kentucky is only sorta s"south", but I deem it a "southern state" eventhouygh I shouldn't The verdict last 2 years I've been there- just as cold as in MN. But you're right. KY won't get -10 temps.

hmm, well the Kentuckians claim they get snow maybe once a year
I hate to shovel...plus the length of winter is shorter
those are my two main things
other reasons though for my move
it's a nice centralized location
Cincy, Indy, Nashville all within a two hour radius
the horse racing is the icing on the cake

ahh Joel, it's not that bad
but if you're coming from 89
heh, bring a down jacket, lol
I like 4 seasons, especially spring & fall
but there's something decadent
about being able to golf in January
