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.

@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.

@nun ya  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.

Re: Believe it or Not....................

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

Re: Believe it or Not....................

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.
