Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

you can come up here, Carlos.... I think it is like 7 out but we are approaching double digits!

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

No way.
If I need a down coat for 40's, there is not enough layers I can find for single digits.:D

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

I forgot to factor in windchill....probably in the negatives out.

Do you know what wind chill is?

Here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_chill


lol

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Isn't that what comes out of my air vents in my house nearly 365 days a year?:r:r:r

In fact, need to run out and get some "wind chill" while in my car.:r

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

yah, something like that. :fu

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

LOL, jerk!

I haven't had "wind chill" in my house in 13 years! there were times I wish I had but we survived even Portugal without it.

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Forgot to mention:

WITH THE TOP DOWN!!!:r (pissed in my pants)

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Oh, oh.

Two cold fronts coming.

Expected low for tomorrow night is 37 degrees.
Our houses were not made for that.:r
I may have to turn the heat on.
Can someone please tell me how I do that and how do I find out if I even have heat in the house?.:r:r:r

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

was going to ask....does your house even have heat?

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

May have to find it and turn it on tonight as will be 43.
Do I need gloves for that low temperature?
Will I be able to throw water in the air like Pete and watch it vaporize?
Should I go buy some boots?
Anyone care for hats? Ski masks?
Wow! This is rough.:r

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

our high for the weekend is 45 and sunny..... may bust out the spring jacket and shorts!

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

The only reason you should need a ski mask in South Florida is if you are gonna rob a 7-11, Carlos. ;) :r

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

The title of this thread may be relevant on 2/15.

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

This is no longer humorous.

Just heard a weather update.
The low for tomorrow is now expected to be 34.
Not sure if we will make it through the night but we need to be prepared.:r

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

34 nice! Bust out those shorts and t shirts.

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

34 is not good, I'm staying in.

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Just put on your thermal dress and insulated high heels, Carlos. :)

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Argghhh, where did I put my eye bleach. :eek:

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

It's right by Carlos' go-go boots, Tony. :)

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

You are not helping.:tg

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Did Carlos tell you he found a store nearby that sells edible thongs? They stay pliable right down to a temperature of 33*F. ;)

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Please!:rolleyes:

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

getting down to as low as -15 with windchill tonight I heard..... BURRRRRRR

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Wind chill is -10 here right now.....I wonder if Carlos would need a muffler and some mittens? :r

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Wow!

Can't even wish to recall that.
Was up there in Chicago a few years ago when it was -7 before the wind chill and similarly, in Indy when I happened to be there the week of the Super Bowl celebration for the Colts.

Not nice.

Orlando expected to be around 17 tonight.
34 for us in South Florida on the coast. Expected to be much, much lower inland. Darn gators better take shelter.

I went over to the controls and tried to figure out how to turn on the heat. Can't find the manual.:r:r:r

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

:tg Let's see.....Cincinnati, Ohio just received another 4-10 inches of snow. Lot of us would be happy with the 40s. :rolleyes:

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Can't remember when the orange seasons fall, Carlos....any damage to the orange crops?

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Buy some tampons while your there... :D

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

.....

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Those guys are going to have a rough one tonight.
Lots of crops will be damaged for sure in the mid to northern portion of the state.
I think as long as it stays above freezing, they should stand a chance.

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Hope that ends up being the case

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

I hope they do...for their families sakes, and because I love Florida oranges. :)

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Well, just got the latest projected low.
Looks like freezing at 32 for me on the coast.
North and Central Florida is screwed.
Inland from me will likely be in the 20's.

WHO said something about Global Warming?
What is that stuff exactly?

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Carlos I did not sign-up for this. They did not mention anything about below freezing in the brochure I read. :fl

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Tony,
They just said with windchill, we will be around 23 to 30 on the coast, with 15-20 inland.

Just imagine, if there is a bit of rain, we will have snow in South Florida.

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Bite your tongue! :c

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

I'd cover my bird of paradise plants, but haven't found 15 foot sheets.:r

This is good once in a while for me. In case I am ever tempted to move back North, I put my head outside on a night like tonight.

Be back in the high 70's this weekend.

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

no, where I live the high tomorrow is a bomby 38 and a low 18. :mad: so bundle up.

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Crap, it's 6 degrees here right now....I might take off my jacket if it was 38! :r

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

haha I know right.


And Carlos, Karma is a *****! Enjoy the cold!





Does suck for the orange farmers though... hope they don't lose too much.

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Most of my area down to Miami saw temps below freezing last night, plus the wind chill onto that.

The northern part of the state sucked!
It was 17 in Jacksonville.
It was 22 in Pensacola.

That is freaking cold for us folks.

Just finished removing all the covering from some of the plants I protected last night. Quite nippy out there for this guy. We are now up to 36 and warming. It has gone up about 5 degrees in the last 1.5 hours.
Expected to be back in the mid 70's by Sunday. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.:r

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Sunday....perfect! ;)

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

I know how to pick 'em!! :D

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

:r:r:r

Man did you luck out and just happen to miss a dosage of what you have up in NY already.

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

That sun does wonders.
Two to three hours later, we are up to 45 from 31.
Starting to thaw out a bit.
I can actually feel my toes again.:r

Looks like the worse is over.
46 is the expected low for tonight.
Then back into the 50's as a low through Saturday, then in the 60's per Tony's post, with mid 70's as a high.

Back to the Florida I know.

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

That is rough on Florida blood.

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

Alright, Carlos.... now picture having lower temperatures than that for about 3-4 months straight lol

Re: Any sympathy for South Florida?
 

-4*F wind chill here right now, F'ers! :mad: :r
