Believe it or Not....................

It is 57 degrees right now in Southeast Florida. That is REALLY cold for us. I am wearing a long-sleeved cotton shirt. I get to wear it a couple of days a year. I think this shirt is over 10 years old. The heat is on too and the temp. in the house is 75.

My dog (Scruffy) will only go out if we put her sweater on. Then, she does her business and runs back inside.

I LOVE the cold weather. The tourists are complaining that they haven't been able to wear their bikinis yet. LOL Oh well, a few more days and it will be up in the 80's again.

@Sophiamarie... I remember a spring break trip to Ft. Lauderdale during college and yes, it was THAT COLD!

@sophiamarieHi "neighbor." Definitely one of the coldest days this season here and for a day I'm wearing long jeans and an old (probably from the 80's) fleece top. One of my guests left it some years ago and I love the soft comfort of it. At the rate I get to use it, I'll have warmth for years.

@nunya Again, believe it or not, I AM wearing shorts. I wear shorts every single day at home, no matter what the weather is but my hands get too cold to type, therefore the long sleeves. In fact, I am going to Publix now, with my long-sleeves and shorts. Nobody gives it a second thought here. I'm just glad it's so nice and cool for a change..... I wish it would last longer though.........

I like to head to Florida in the late fall/early winter. If the sun is out, I'm laying by the pool in mid 50 degree (and above) weather.

Did they break out the hot chocolate yet? They actually did that when I lived in St Lucie County a long time ago and they got a cold snap like that. Myself (from NJ) and my teacher (from MI) were dying laughing.

It is 54 now in Central Florida and I just saw one of my neighbors on her bike in her swimsuit with a towel wrapped around her! Our pool is heated........but you have to GET OUT sometime! Not a pool day for me!

Another neighbor walks around in sweat pants and no shirt. Now that makes sense????

It's 19 here in Ohio but with the wind chill, it feels like 4. I would take that 57. LOL

42 last night here in Sarasota County. I had to drive DH to a doctor's appt. at 8AM and it was cold and windy. i had a cordoroy shirt on and a polar fleece jacket. I'm spending the rest of the day in the house. I'm making minestrone for dinner. I hope this isn't going to last much longer - we have gone from 85 to 90 and hot and humid to winter cold overnight. This will hurt the tourism industry.

When it is 57 in Chicago, all the restaurants open up their patios so people can sit outside and eat and enjoy the warm weather. People wear shorts and Tshirts.

I don't even turn my heat on until it's below freezing outside!

Our high today in southern West Virginia was 12 degrees. The bright sun was very misleading.

I'm in N Fl. It's 36 at 10:45 pm and I'm freezing! We've had to run the heat for days and days. I'm dry enough with my meds. I can barely breathe. I know everyone up north probably rolls their eyes, lol, but at least many that live where it's cold have a moist heat system. This is brutal. The heat never cuts off, just runs and runs. Oh how I wanted to win the powerball so I could spend winters on a tropical island😀

Just have to remember those that are not so blessed. At least we have heat!
