Date palms are fun to grow too. Sometimes it's hard to find the seeds but most grocery stores carry dates with seeds a few months of the year.

It’s been doing it’s own thing for a while now. Seems happy.
When did the UK start naming storms? Especially winter storms. Were the winter storms feeling left out because all the tropical storms were getting named?
I think we (USA) started naming Winter storms as well. Some WXR stations call them out, some don’t.
Kayaking in my neck of the woods, by any chance?
Good guess. But what crazy cold weather kayaker would want warm water, warm breezes, warm stunning sunsets? Warm sand, fresh salty air, fish, calamari, margaritas, fresh lemons n limes?
You all must recall ice. Who would want warm sun?

Absolutely! There's POWER in a name! Makes it easier to keep the storms from blending together in everyone's memories, too.

If that's a fiddle leaf fig, it isn't likely to fruit, especially indoors. It's good at looking stately and gorgeous, though.

Nope. Thats a non-producing fig tree. I can tell straight away based on the leaf structure.

I think Superstorm Sandy confused the Dickens out of a lot of people. It started out tropical, then took on extra-tropical characteristics, and kept its name.
By the way, the National Weather Service eventually decided that a (tropical storm) name was attached to the SYSTEM, not the wind speed. So if a tropical storm or hurricane downgrades back to tropical "depression" status and then re-forms, it doesn't get named twice. Such storms only get named when they reach tropical storm intensity (35+ mph sustained winds).

That being said, when I lived in the UK, I learned to drink most beverages WITHOUT ice. It got tiresome asking for ice and being given a measly two or three ice cubes in response.See, the ice is supposed to go IN your drink, not on top of it...
Ok. Supplies procured. Our truck is cleaned, windows polished. Wifey put elbow grease into the Rain-X application. Kayak is cleaned up, hmmmmmm, where to go. North or South. Cold environs or warm breezes.?

We pay for a drink not a cup of ice with a little drink in it
And our weather doesn’t warrant sub zero drinks most if the time [emoji23]

Quite true. I also remember there being two temperatures of water from the tap in the UK: COLD, and... FRIGID.We pay for a drink not a cup of ice with a little drink in it

Sully had a good, loooooooooooooong soak. Almost 1.5 hours in spa-like settings. G&T ordered with crushed, smooth-shaved ice.

Ice is a necessity for some beverages in Florida. Especially carbonated beverages.
