Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, its going to get cold down here

[Trekker954]

Anyone heading down to florida this week/weekend surely bring warm clothes. Sadly I'm actually heading to Port Canaveral for my cruise tomorrow and its going to be extremely chilly (as far as this Floridian is concerned). Weather in the Bahamas won't get up beyond mid 70s. I put my snorkel equipment away. Don't see the need to bring that this weekend. :(

Thanks for the fyi...We're leaving tomorrow for Ft. Lauderdale..... when you're coming from 20 to 30 degree weather 60's are like a heat wave:D:D:D

I'll swap weather with you any time!;)

We leave Saturday for Miami, we'll take the 60+ degree weather anytime too, its 28 degrees today!! :)

[BlueHerons]

Yes, absolutely frigid.

 

I had to turn off my a/c and open my windows. Sitting here in my Uggs, leggings, and a hoodie. It is 61 in Fort Lauderdale right now.:D

[NayRN]

And here I am in Michigan basking in the heat-wave......we're above freezing!! I actually been running errands wearing only a t-shirt, jeans and a hoodie!! 60 degrees and I'd be in shorts and a tank top!😎

Oops! Warmed back up to 63! Down here you'll see people in parkas when the temp falls under 72.

Sitting here in a blizzard, listening to the wind howl at 50mph.

Sounds like shorts weather in Florida.

Do not feel one bit sorry for you.

Here on the west coast (southern calif) we've had record heat and dry Santa Ana winds for over 3 months :eek:..Looking forward to some cooler temps for Alaska in May.

What would they have done if they were in Central Illinois last week. We had -12 for a high temp, wind chills of -60. Boy I really feel sorry for them with those low temps! ;)

[Ptown]

Reminds me of a few years ago when I got ready to disembark in FLL. The capton anounced that it was 47 degrees. :eek: Away went the shorts and out came the jeans. :D I had booked the Everglades airboat ride before going to the airport. Unfortunately I left my jacket in my suitcase packed in the bus. I was glad to get off the airboat and into the shop for some hot coffee. Even though I am a toughened central Illinoisian. . . That was a chilly day. :D It was still better than being at work. We leave Sat. for FLL but am more prepared this time. :D

You can still bring the snorkel gear, just make sure you pack a pick to crack through the frozen seawater. :D

 

Seriously, I'm also a soft Florida boy, and those temps wouldn't keep me from snorkeling. Just bring a light windbreaker-style jacket to put on when you get out (I've always done that through my years as an avid scuba diver; I sometimes get some funny looks when I carry that jacket, but post-dive when you're on the boat going to the next site it can get chilly & I've had a lot of people then tell me "that jacket is a great idea")

Safe travels. We've still got a bit more than a week before we head out to San Juan. Will be glad to get a break from this weather. Snow again this morning.

At 10:00 A.M., this morning it is 51 in S.Ft. Myers.

I'm dreaming of sunshine....we're in the middle of another snowstorm....dropping an inch an hour! I'm really counting down the days to my cruise......while seriously considering applying for a nursing license in Florida!! 🌴

[sausimayok]

You want cold, it was -47 with the windchill for almost three weeks, now we are at a warm -20c. A cold day in Florida has to be better than most of our spring and fall days. :) Cruising for a week keeps our sanity! :)

I assume that you have your bachelor's.

Good Post! We are sailing out of FLL on Saturday (1/18) and it's only to be a high of 68 which means it will be even colder most of the day. This time, we'll be taking jackets to board.

 

Looking forward to getting past Florida and the Bahamas and into the warm Caribbean. :)

So I'm watching television here at Hyatt PLace, the sun is shining, the palm trees are swaying, and the weather guy is warning everyone to protect their plants and animals and dress in layers because it's going to be cold with a high of only 64. Seriously?? LOL.

Yes...why?

[jackdiamond]

Yes...why?

Because, you will have a better chance at a job. Some of the RNs here do not have same.

That's exactly why I got the four-year degree! Better chances for positions and advancement! ;)

And, the chances for a PA greatly increase with a Masters and PHD. With significant government intrusion into our medical system the number of young superior learners entering medical school is greatly diminishing. The clear wave of the future is RNs and PAs.

I know. We had almost 60 degree weather and we were walking around in short sleeves, no coats. But it was windy so It was not quite as pleasant. It did melt the rest of the snow that we had gotten earlier in the week, when we had sub zero temperatures. :eek: I love the mid-west. One Sunday my pipes freeze and the next Sunday its 59 degrees. Whats up with that.:confused:
