Aww man, you suck! I wish it would warm up to shorts and T-shirt weather like that, up here in WI.

When it gets that cold I usually duct tape a six pack to grandpa's walker and send him out to get the mail. In 20 mins, you got cold beer, your mail, and gramps sits quietly to thaw out for an hour or two. Take thier teeth out first, dentures chattering drowns out the TV. NorCal |
I'm in Mount Pleasant and my thermometer is showing 20* right now... and I still haven't turned on the heat this year. I used to live in Pinellas County in Seminole and on Mad Beach and always watching how excited everyone got when the temperature was going to drop into the 30's...  |
It says down to 38 tonite (SWFLA)... 50 now is like 15 to 20 back home. Only good part is I dont have to scrape the windsheild...

Yeah, I just moved to GA after having been brought up in N. WI... I got a good laugh today as there were signs up in front of my condo community warning residents (in BIG bold red letters) that a "FREEZE WARNING" had been issued and that everyone should let their faucets drip and make sure their cupboards were open to let warm air get to the pipes... Now...if this were WI in the middle of Jan and it was -20 or -30...I say, sure. BUT COME ON PEOPLE!!!! IT is barely dipping below 32 here at night! Anyway...

It's gotten a little breezy here today...high only in the 30s, lows tonight in the low 20s, and that's in town...always a degree or 2 colder out here in the 'burbs. I'm not happy about having to run the damn heat, but even I can't hang when it's below 55 in the house. |

I know how it is for you southerners. Went out to meet the wifes family 11/01 (yes we flew) Well one morning it was 40deg windy and a drizzle was comming down at the beach house. I walked right past them out the sliding door and lit a smoke. I was wearing socks, PJ shorts and a t-shirt. Wife said they thought i was crazy. She said no he's not crazy he's climitized, It's gets alot colder in Iowa then it does here in delaware. I haven't broke out my winter coat yet. The temps are getting close tho. |
| 7 am here in Blackburg, VA and a balmy 16 degrees. I hate cold weather. The arthritic knees and feet start hurting. Hunting season is pretty much over, can't fish or play golf. If it wasn't that this time of the year is when I make the most money, it would have no redeaming value. |
I rember it snowing ONCE here in Broward county when I was in kindergarden in '76. I was in awe. It melted as sonn as it hit the ground, but it did snow. echo6 |

I think you need to adjust some kind of setting on your camera...Everythings white Was mid 30's here for a low until about 10am. We had all the bay doors closed in the shop and the five 155,000 BTU heaters going 
|
Me too! 148th Ave. and Gulf Blvd... now I'm up here in Michigan again, just outside Detroit.  Hell, we don't get that style NWS warning until temps get lower than 10 below or so...
|
Oh Hell Yes! Gonna drop into the 20s here tonight! SERIOUS SHIT!!! HARD freeze warning! I have some long johns and a bunch of firewood that I will finally get to use...we are usually still mowing grass at Christmas here!
|
they did last year. but the temp was about 5 for a few days in a row with wind chills in the negatives, one particularly windy day (the day I decided to walk around downtown buffalo to go to a job fair) it was about a -30F windchill
