48 degrees in my neck of the woods here in sunny south florida right now!

[flordehinojos]

Even the birds which you can usually still hear at this time of night on a warm tropical night have flown elsewhere. Not a nightowl one of them is singing out there or making any noise.

[Skittles]

1. they call that a "winter blast" here in Texas

freaking pitiful

[flordehinojos]

2. o God is it ever a winter blast for this transplanted palm tree!

[lpbk2713]

3. Right now in Lakeland it's 37º

It will probably be around freezing at sunup.

[flordehinojos]

7. i hope you covered the plants--or, brought them inside.

[malatesta1137]

4. stop complaining

it's 23 degrees here in suburban NYC and I just had to walk 13 blocks home from he train station. I didn't hear any birds or nightowls either! :toast:

[flordehinojos]

8. not complaining, our 37-48 degrees range here is to us like your 23 degree

s in NYC...(I hope you didn't have to walk through snow... a friend of mine who lived in the NY-NJ area used to tell tales about getting off the bus to cross the street and slide on the ice all the way over to the other side of the street while hanging on to someone else who was also sliding on the ice!)

[malatesta1137]

17. no snow yet

but I felt like an ice cube walking the streets alone :scared: thanks for your concern. The story from your friend is something out of Seinfeld!

[RagingInMiami]

5. What part of south florida you in?

[flordehinojos]

9. the greater ft. lauderdale area---not all that far from you all in miami

[RagingInMiami]

10. Good to meet you

[flordehinojos]

13. nice to meet you too.

[UdoKier]

6. I moved away from hell-on-earth - er, I mean Miami, in March.

Now happily living in San Francisco. I think this is the first time since then that it's actually colder there than here.

Low 50s here, right now.

But honestly, when I lived there, the cold fronts were the only time I was ever comfortable there. I hate the year-round sweltering heat there.

[flordehinojos]

11. o, give me sweltering heat and air conditioning over cold weather any time

Glad you like California which remains, for me, a land knonw only through the television and books of fiction--most beautiful, I am sure.

[RebelOne]

31. Yes, I agree about Miami.

I moved to Atlanta from Miami in 1989. My name for that city was "the hell hole of the South." I grew up there, but it's not the same anymore.

[donheld]

12. 41 degrees in Denver

Not bad at all

[flordehinojos]

14. no. not through the comfort of central heat if you psyche your mind up to

it...and if, as a friend of mine, also from this neck of the woods, told me yesterday, put on some socks and wear a hat even inside the house to keep you warm!

[argyl]

15. 23 degrees here in North Texas now and I've gotta be out in it.Brrr

[flordehinojos]

18. Hope you put on some warm clothing and have access to some warm coffee

while you are out!

[yellowdogintexas]

34. yep it was a chilly one this morning, wasn't it

I actually had my thermostat set to allow the heat to break in a few times during the night.

Kitties are staying in all day, a good sign that the chill is here

[steely]

16. 22 over here outside Philly - and my feet are cold.

coldest it's been in a while actually - was a balmy 45 most of last week.
<and I can't believe it's almost 3AM>

[flordehinojos]

19. Like my friend said, "put on some warm socks"

[nickgutierrez]

20. Oh crap, don't tell me that.

I've got to go back there in the next couple of days... :scared:

[flordehinojos]

24. bad news ... it has even dropped further to 44 degrees now at 6 AM!

It is supposed to warm up a little bit they said (perhaps for the weekend) but then it will be down to cold again by Sunday/Monday.

[Baja Margie]

21. It's been really cold here

down to 43.

[flordehinojos]

25. Are you in California? Anyhow, now at 6 o'clock it has dropped down to 44

[Quetzal]

22. It is 69 degrees

in beautiful Honolulu! :P

[flordehinojos]

27. My son lived in Oahu for a while. He loves it there and it took him a

long time to readjust to being back here when he came back. Yesterday I was complaining to my frieds about 69 degrees being too cold. Today that sounds like heavenly warmth to me.

[huskerlaw]

38. oooooh...

I'll be there in 9 days! I absolutely cannot wait to feel 80 degrees again. It's a tepid 32 at 9:30 am in good old Nebraska.

[leans2left]

23. brrrrrrrrrr

17 degrees here in TN this morning.

[flordehinojos]

28. Oh, those beautiful Tennessee Mountains--are you also having snow?

Our 6 AM 44 degrees might just feel like heavenly warmth to you this morning!

[Spider Jerusalem]

26. 23° F here in Atlanta.

48° is WARM. That's "I can go outside without a jacket or coat" weather.

[flordehinojos]

29. I know ... that's because you are adjusting up from 23 to 48...

We ... are adjusting down from the 90s to the high 60s yesterday to 48 at 3 AM this morning and NOW at 6 AM to 44... To me it feels just like your 23 degrees feel to you! I am looking forward to adjusting back up to the 60s and 70s and 80s once again.

(By the way, I love the AJC online -- I think Teresa Weaver runs one of the finest BOOKS sections of any newspaper in the country).

[RebelOne]

30. 24 degrees in Atlanta area.

I'm not complaining, though, because I love cold weather.

[flordehinojos]

32. Mid 70s is my ideal of a perfect day!

[RebelOne]

36. Nope, not mine. I am enjoying these cold temperatures.

I lived in South Florida most of my life, and I was fed up with temperatures in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

[flordehinojos]

39. The temperature has now creeped back up to 58 degrees and it is

forecast to go up to the mid 60s (then low 50s for an overnight low--which is better than the 48-43 degrees we had this morning) and then back up to the 70s for a couple of days before our next cold front!

If you want, you can recall the cold weather and make it go with you to wherever cold place it is that you are now ... even my two mini pinchers had a lazy time getting out from under their blankets this morning!

[Freebird12004]

33. move over

my feathered friends have already left the cold of New York for a warmer winter - I wish I could join them.

[flordehinojos]

40. your feathered friends have moved even further south than south florida...

not one of them heard beeping or singing last night, not one of them in sight today.

[yellowdogintexas]

35. here in North Texas, I just think of it as a nice break from the

mountain cedar pollen that has been blowing up from the Hill Country all week and making me and my daughter sick.

[flordehinojos]

41. sorry about your pollen sickness...i'll be glad to send our cold weather

along your way anytime you want to...

[twenty2strings]

37. Nine degrees in fayetteville,ar this morning...

Don't forget to hug your space heater. And any liberal you can find.:donut:

[flordehinojos]

42. Nine Degrees?????!!!!!!!! brrrrrrrr! We had a windshield advisory of 31

and that was already cold enough for me!!!!!!!!

[yewberry]

43. I dont think it's up to 48º in my kitchen

No kidding, I can see my breath in there.

(Too broke to heat the whole house...gotta love electric heat.)

[flordehinojos]

44. yeah ...my sister in law in tennessee was telling me of a similar

experience yesterday. She had her coat on while we were talkind and she was in i don't know what room, but then when she moved to another room the heat was better there and she had to take off her coat.
central heat-electric, by the way is what they have. i, so far, have refused to turn the heat on in this house in any of the winters of the last five years, but it may have to come that ...
