I got lucky this winter, flew back to the Philippines a week ago. Son told me yesterday, dad, its 36 degrees and snowing in Virginia, two hours later, he walked to the beach and went swimming in the South China Sea. Probably 90 degrees here with nothing but sunshine.

I hear ya Bep, spent all eve. protecting pipes from busting, checked Aruba weather, mid 84 high 75 low fh.
Now how can I make a living in Aruba, bundle up tonight and put another log on the fire, wait I don't even have a fireplace, who needs a fire place in Fl.

I do.

I thought about protecting all the little plants out side, but then I remembered, pretty much everything froze last year, so there's not much left.

They're forecasting 26 for us in the morning.

I had to dig out my insulated carhart jacket to wear while putting heat tape on the swimming pool pump tonight . I told my wife I am going to have to start using galvanized pipe for all of my above ground outside water lines. I think we might be a little spoiled here in central Fl. We are expecting low 20's tonight.
The good news is we do have a fireplace. We changed it over to gas last winter. It isn't as pretty of a fire, but it is still warm and no mess.

Frostproof is frostbit again!

I'm heading down to Babson Park (just north of Frostproof) on Thursday to help my mom for a couple of days. Looks like I'll be able to thaw out a bit.

Current temperature here in SOWEGA is 21.

Old classmate who lives in Fl just stated on Facebook: "It's so cold out I'm thinking about letting the dog crap on the living room floor" Ha! Welcome to global warming!

 

[podagrower]

25.9 this morning. Only a little longer till the sun comes up, so we might get below 25.

 

[The Haymaker]

Rude awakening here in NH!

Yesterday started out around 48; this AM it's 15 with around 4" of snow all over the place, on top of all the rain & soft ground!

Wonder how many driveways & lawns are going to get peeled back by plows this morning....

 

[czechsonofagun]

We are little below freezing but the wind makes it harsh. Yesterday I got a kick out of watching geese flying backwards:thumbsup:

 

[Damifino]

25.9 this morning. Only a little longer till the sun comes up, so we might get below 25.

24 here right now n. of Villages, should bottom out at 22 at sunrise, but hey mid 70's Thur, Fri, Sat.

Remember local weather is not climate. Why do some claim local cold as disproof of a warming trend?

2010 on Pace to Be Warmest on Record, NASA Says - NYTimes.com

"An analysis of average global temperatures through November by NASA痴 Goddard Institute for Space Studies shows 2010 on pace to become the warmest year since the collection of temperature data began 130 years ago. NASA previously ranked 2005 as its warmest year ever."

No complaint about comparing local temps but to leap again to deny climate change leads to a closed thread!!
