I know... but it's only 48 and crappy drizzling rain... and I'm on the gulf coast, which makes it feel even colder. I would love to see it actually snow here, just once. I was born and grew up in upstate NY, I remember shoveling when it was 3 foot high. But down here, even if it was just a brief snow flurry, the native Floridians would flip!!!

To keep it on topic and complain... i would love to go back someday, but everyone I knew got out when they could. There's really nothing left to go back to.

adsii1970 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Let's see, @Just Jim is complaining about Florida and "cold" weather. This week, there are three days in a row where our forested highs are in the teens and our forecasted lows are in the 2 to 5 ° (F) range... I love cold weather but this is freaking cold!

I can let you borrow a few of mine: + I had a student report me to the dean of student affairs for not supporting her. She has called me at least four times between 1:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. and I refuse to answer the phone. Even my syllabus says I do not accept phone calls after 9:00 p.m. or before 7:00 a.m. + I have a young man in a class who happens to live in the same apartment complex. He doesn't understand why I won't let him "hang out" at my place. Yes, I've been reported to the dean of student affairs by him. There, @Just Jim , take your pick!

(the writer in me asks... ) Oh, and to keep this on topic... it's not supposed to be this cold and crappy in Florida!!! I went to boot camp, A school, and nuclear power school at the old Naval Training Center Orlando, so I was there for just over a year. When I flew home after A School (in July) and came back with my car and civilian clothes I made sure I brought a good winter coat. My roommates, who were from Tennessee and Missouri, and brought back nothing but shorts and T-shirts, laughed at me. "What are you bringing a winter coat to Florida for!" But I remembered all of those news stories I had seen over the years about farmers in Florida having it rough because surprise frosts had killed their citrus crops. On about the middle of January, my roommates weren't laughing anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my time is spent inside (especially during Winter...) so it's not a big deal. Of course, if I'm going to be outside for extended periods of time, I'm getting some thicker clothes.

StrandedonEarth Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Well, now I have to complain that all I can complain about is that I don't dare complain about the weather lest the weather gods smite me here in LotusLand. The weather has bern far too nice for January. 15 hours ago, Bill Phil said: Well we are all equal after death... 14 hours ago, LordFerret said: And that's the only time we are or ever will be.

richfiles Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 On Wednesday, the forecast says it will be -29°F (-33.9°C) with 16 MPH (25.7 Km/H) winds... On Saturday, the forecast says it will be 34°F (1.1°C) with 14 MPH (22.5 Km/H) winds... With a 30% chance for showers... RAIN!!! That's snow and rain, in the span of a week, with a 63°F (35°C) temperature swing in a span of three days!?!? Why is Minnesota weather so crazy?!?

kerbiloid Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Quote °F (°C) When I see a temperature in °C I imagine the water ice behind the window as 0° and a boiling kettle as 100°.. When I see a temperature in °F I imagine a person (a bartender?) dropping ice cubes from the fridge into a shaker of water and pouring ammonium chloride from a box on the shelf. Then he applies a protractor and watches how much hot it is in 1/180ths. Edited January 28, 2019 by kerbiloid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The surface winds carries all the cold stuff south and you have little to no large bodies of water (read : sea) to carry the heat/cold away (and hold some of it). So when the wind grows it gets cold, when the wind dies it gets warm. Edited January 28, 2019 by YNM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
