Not necessarily...I don't know about where you are, but in Wyoming, vehicles have tank heaters installed and they plug them in at night. You forget to plug your car in at night, it's not likely to start in the morning during the winter. But, I know that they don't have those down south...I know this because there was a grad student in Wyoming who came from Arizona...he came to the University of Wyoming in the summer to study astronomy, where there were wide open spaces and little light pollution and we had a really awesome telescope for it. He ran all over the place with his camera, and I remember him running across the parking lot, taking pictures of the tank heater cords on all the cars because he said his friends back home didn't believe that people in Wyoming plug their cars in at night...they thought he was pulling their legs. So he took pictures to prove it. It never occurred to me that there were cars that DIDN'T have a plug, but apparently that's not a "thing" in the South.

I've never heard of such things. We're far enough South that we don't get such cold temps. I'd never heard of snow tires either until this board. We're freaking out over these lows in the single digits. We panic if there's three inches of snow. And absolutely no one knows how to drive in it.

But our buses started this morning, in spite of the single digit temps. ;)

So I am not ok with these biting temps we are having right now. :mad:Freezing rain on NYEve took everyone by surprise. We do have cold temps here in our NC mountains but haven't had it this cold, this early for years. This is reminding me of when I was a kid growing up. We missed tons of school in January because of the frigid temps and snow. We had to go on Saturdays to make it up in Feb. It is going to be a cruel, depressing winter!! We may have to move to warmer climates.

We had considered moving to NC at one point for the warmer weather. Now thinking central to southern FL may be the only escape, after all @donaldtoo is even getting snow in Austin.

Try the Carnival site or cruisecritic.com. It's amazing what some people complain about though. "The room only had two mirrors." :confused: How many do you need???

Ha. You know I did and then thought I found a cruise on the Victory out of Mobile. So then I wanted to search reviews on the ship. I searched it on Bing and first thing that popped up was a news report on it from 16 days previously of a couple who found a spy cam in their room. :confused:I saw that and said "nope". That cruise was not going to happen. :rolleyes:

Have you looked on www.cruisecritic.com?
I find that site very helpful for information about the ships and the ports. Personally I prefer cruising with Norwegian as I like their Freestyle set up. I did one Carnival cruise which was nice enough but I disliked the assigned seating times for dinner.

Just posted that site. They no longer have only assigned dining. You have early dining, late dining or open dining from 5:45 to 9:30 p.m. The only drawback to open dining is it's first come, first seated so you may be waiting with a pager for awhile. We always choose late assigned seating.
