Congratulations West Palm Beach!

Read this from Barbara Marshall at the Quick Pulse blog on the high honor bestowed on West Palm Beach by the folks at Weather.com:

We’re #8!

Color us tickled pink.

In Weather.com’s new list of top 15 places in which to escape winter, West Palm Beach picked up the 8th slot, ahead of Tampa and Orlando but behind Miami and Ft. Myers.

Weird and wonderful Key West earned the web site’s top spot, beating out Honolulu and Maui, Hawaii.

The list was compiled even before more than two feet of snow began burying Boston and other Northeast cities yesterday.

The weather web site evaluated cities based solely on their winter escape virtues, such as average temperatures, days of rain and winter sunshine.

Just think, how many visitors to West Palm Beach make it to our Lake Worth downtown and our fabulous beach? What's good for West Palm is good for us in Lake Worth too.
