Goofy weather

I have my sewing club today - DH is off with the car so I have to go in the golf cart - no problem except it is only 57 out right now - but when I'm coming home it will be around 75. If I wear long pants and a sweatshirt I will be comfortable now but too hot when I get to the clubhouse and way too hot this afternoon coming home. Oh I know - those of you up north would love to have this problem. But for here this is very odd - it is usually either warm or cold here and not usually psychotic weather jumping all around the thermometer in one day.

We have some delicate flowers out in pots and we are having to drag them out every morning so they get the sun then drag them back into the garage in the evening because it will be too cold overnight. They are in large , heavy pots.

I guess the weather is odd everywhere. My niece tells me it is melting and ugly in Pittsburgh, after the freeze last week.

Weather has such an effect over our lives doesn't it?

Down here all the men are all revved up to golf, fish and car cruise next week as soon as the temps go up to normal.

@151949 The only thing you can rely on with the weather is it always changes, if you do not like the look of it outside, go back and check in an hour, it will have changed (hopefully for the better), the local weather people joke about it around here, but yes it is frustrating some days!

@151949 I only wish I had your problems!... today will not get out of the 30's nor for the rest of the week... Icy and slick to the point where I am scared to go on just a walk as the side walks are so slick. I fell two days ago and am so sore.. I am afraid to fall again. I look so forward to 50 or 60 degrees where there is no danger or slipping.

@SeaMaiden Be careful, those icy sidewalks are dangerous, Cyber Hugs being sent your way, the aches and pains that come from those kind of falls are very painful!

If I had that problem I would wear shorts and a sleeveless or short sleeved tee with a sweatshirt jacket. 57 degrees is not that cold anyway and you aren't going very far in a golfcart. You could also have a throw on your legs for the ride over.

It's not at all unusual around here for it to get cold at night and warm up during the day.

Truer words were never spoken when it comes to describing Florida weather:" If you don't like Florida weather, give it five minutes-it will change"

Heat to take the chill off in the am.....and then I have had a few afternoons when the a.c. had to go back on because of a rapid onset of humidity and heat from the south!

I agree. And 75 isn't very hot, so you could wear some light pants instead of shorts if you're really worried.

And I don't think she'll need to worry about icy sidewalks at 57 degrees, either.

Pook I used to laugh and guffaw over what people considered "cold" down here.....14 years later, I have become one of them!

This past weekend when we were out on Pine Island, many "snow birds" we're spotted wearing parkas and .....shorts, heavy socks and sandals. Of course, we overheard many conversations about feeling "ripped off" because of our cooler weather and overcast skies.

If anybody is planning a Florida getaway to escape the cold, your safest bet is the keys....It can change anywhere, and the Board of Tourism touts the average temperatures, but it can and does get chilly including Miami and Orlando.

It is no accident that you will find Disney and Epcot employees peddling hot chocolate, blankets and cold weather clothing when the temps cool down.
