    ED- Central Florida, about an hour and a half from Orlando. I am originally from as Vegas where it can get in the low 20's to some ppl's surprise, so I was used to cold winters. I've been here in central florida for near 4 years now and never seen it below 40 degrees in this area, and thats usually from cold fronts that are gone in a couple days. On average it's 70-75 degrees in the winters here.

    ahh inland, I miss semyrna beach and wakayvia springs 2 of my favorites near Orlando in FLA but OK no ocean winds and what not. yes the dessert is super cold during the night even in the early and late summer, nothing to hold the heat in. Been to the mohave when it was 107 and went down to 42 at night.

    i have a personal preference to training on ice... most definitely increases stability and balance. there are several great leg exercises where you draw alternating circles with your feet simultaneously, using the "slipperiness" as a form of resistance training utilizing the weight of the body pressing against the ice with the soles of the feet... i am not quite sure if i can say it anymore confusing thatn that...

    i also like toying with start/stop and torque inertia while training on ice... carrying firewood out of the snowy woods is also a great form of training - pulling a sled full of logs, loading the truck and hand splitting all winter long!!! YEAH BABY!!!!

    dodging snowballs...
