Damn it's COLD!!

[MaCruz]

I lived in Florida most of my life and I cannot remember being in the 20's for so many consecutive days. We hit the 20's for the lows since Saturday night. It's supposed to be in the 20's all week long. I know everyone in the Eastern US is feeling this Artic blast..This must be some kind of record for us down here...




I like the cold temps since it's a change compared to 85+ degree weather everyday, but come on. This is too cold for some of us.

We have the AC at my office on for some reason and my hands are freezing.

I FINALLY turned my heat on.

I'm pretty sure it is a record for us here. I'm also pretty sure people in other parts of the country will look at that forecast and ask what we're complaining about.

[mikejet]

Yeah it's warmer here in CA than over there. I complain when it's in the 60's here. I wouldn't be able to stand the 20's. lol

Especially Canada. I like 40's, but 20's it's a little cold for me.

60's is hot with the sun out. LOL. Yeah FL gets the cold fronts from Canada, so I'm not sure about Cali since it doesn't rain there much.

Must be 'Global Warming'

I've got crappy heat pumps that do not work well in below freezing temperatures.

Yea, my dad said he cant remember so many days in a row this cold either. Too bad my hybrid gets about 6mpg less in super cold weather. SIGH.

Last time Jacksonville got snow was 1989 the day before Christmas. It was 1 or 2 inches, but the snow was dirty from what I remember. I know the roads were frozen and I was playing Ice Hockey with my friends, and sledding down my drive way which had no hills.

I lived in CT for 3 years, and I know what a blizzard feels like.

it's so cute seeing all of you complain about 20 degree weather!!

20 degrees is a heat wave here in WI this time of year!!! But I can’t complain, @ least we haven’t had a high of below 0 yet!!!

that usually happens this time of year.

Global warming does not mean that it will always be hot.

I might as well stay up north where you guys are since I'll get snow, but I don't have the proper clothing. It's plenty of shorts, and light jackets.

I grew-up in NE Ohio and lived in upstate NY for 2 years, so I'm no stranger to cold/snow (I actually enjoy it). Let's just hope you guys warm-up by April, cause that's when we're heading to Disney/Universal!

I grew up and lived in Southern California all my life, screw cold weather.

I'd rather be in Hawaii though.

It will start to get hot during March, so you'll be alright. Just avoid summer as it rains almost everyday.

[Rob71]

If anyone wants to proselytize for global warming, I'm willing to listen. just come to Jacksonville. We need the hot air.

Here in Iowa we haven't seen double digit temperatures in about 10 days, and it's currently -11, and that's the actual temperature, not wind chill. It's supposed to stay this cold until Saturday but it's supposed to warm up and get into the 20s next week.

MaCruz talking about how cold it is there reminds me of last week's Miami-Wisconsin football game in Orlando. The temperature was in the high 40s and the announcers were talking about how cold the Miami players were and many went back inside to put on long sleeve undershirts, while the Wisconsin players thought it was fairly warm compared to what they were used to in Madison.

If you make any kind of effort, you can learn about how weather and climate, while related, are not the same thing.
If you google "cold weather global warming", your first hit will be this:

I love how science takes a back seat to "preference" and suddenly global warming and evolution are a "debate" and both sides are equally worth hearing.
