Sucks to be you!

It was in the mid 70s here today! I went out to dinner this evening with my wife and I wore a short sleeved polo shirt and jeans. :p

I wear shots and flip flops in 40 degree weather.

This is rare for Florida, it was 80F last year on Christmas (2008).

So far it's been mostly rain with some sleet, some ice.

The last time it snowed in Florida was 1989, I was here and there was much chaos. Being from Chicago I had no problems. Lots and lots of overturned cars.

We've got tiny little chunks of ice falling down right now. Much much smaller than hail, but definitely not snow flakes. Kind of funny. The wife and I are calling it snail (snow/hail), but I'm sure northerners have a real name for this stuff hehe.

Daytona Beach btw

Holy cow I just walked outside and it reminded me of being in NYC NOT Miami FL! It's in the 40's right now! That is COLD for Miami! Cold enough for the bees to be wearing yellow jackets!

Wow, it is quite odd to see florida go in the minuses lol. To think, it's -10C here right now, just a bit colder then Florida. It's normally like -30 and colder at this time of month. Global warming!!!! lol

Yeah it's rather warm here (0C ish) compared to normal.

I'm okay with the Southerners taking some of our cold.
Just fine with me!

In Miami as well. Luckily with all the electronics in my room it makes it bearable. Letting out my dogs in the morning was a freaking nightmare.
