Hi Dave

All my 'chids are in their room with the heater set to 50 so as long as your temps don't go below that, I think they should do alright.

It's 37 here right now and will be dropping below 32 tonight! Brrrrrr.....

And I'm sitting here at the computer, I keep checking the weather and biting my nails. I was going to bring mine in but there's no place except the garage where the heater vents won't get them. It's 52 degrees here and not expected to get any colder so I'm just going to leave them tonight. If we get another cold-er night tomorrow, in they come.

flhiker, where in South Florida are you?

I love the cold compared to the heat but the Chids are a little less appreciative!
