Miami's Chilly January Weather

Having grown up in New York, I find it funny that when the weather drops to the 50's in Miami, people start bundling up!

On my way to drop the kids off at school yesterday I looked over to the driver beside me and chuckled when I saw that he had a knit hat and gloves on. It was only 57 degrees for Pete's sake! I can't imagine what he'd wear in Alaska.

I admit, the main reason I don't live in New York anymore is the cold winters. I am a chicken when it comes to the cold weather. My body has betrayed me and acclimated quite nicely to the lovely weather here in Miami. The balmy climate in South Florida suits me to a T but even I was airing my toes yesterday!

A cold snap in Miami. Must be Global Warming or something.

I recall being in Key West on a fishing trip some years ago when the folks in the area were sitting outside the hotel shivering.

"It's enough to freeze a person", one shivering resident said.

It was 67 degrees.

great photo how funny... we are in the single digits.

I had a buyer from California worrying about snow a number of years ago.... college educated young fella from the Tahoe area so they get snow. It was in the mid 40's... we have a raw cold here in the midwest in the winter.

We are so spoiled here! Give me a sweat shirt!

Maggie,

My wife and daughter are on the way to NY to see family...she was getting sick of hearing how cold it will be...like we didn't live there for 35 yrs...we still have clothing left that we can wear for the cold weather...I'm glad to be staying here....this cold is nothing to me.....I might even crank up the jacuzzi heat tonight and go for the bath!

Lenn, that's a funny story. 67 degrees indeed! =)

Maureen, I guess he forgot it had to be 32 degrees for it to be even possible. he he

Gary, we are though, aren't we? The only reason I don't crank on the electric heat is because it smells like something burning. Can't stand it!

Neal, so nice that we only have to visit though, right? ;-)

Maggie the temperature was 19 degrees during the day today and it is expected to drop to -4 degrees tomorrow night :) :)

Maggie - Good to see you. My husband was on a business trip in Orlando and he did remark that it was rather cool Wednesday morning. Here it is frigid so you were wise to get away.

George, I know where you can find warmer weather. Head on down here!

Jennifer, hi! Orlando is usually 2 or 3 degrees cooler than Miami, so I say BRRR. =) And XTRA BRRRRR to Rhinebeck. LOL I do miss pretty sweaters though. I think it's time for a little shopping trip. One good cotton sweater should do it.

Love the photo. Now thats a fashion statement. Have a great 2009.

Terry Miller

Terry, thanks! I've actually always had a pet peeve about sandals and socks, especially sweatsocks! LOL

Here's wishing you a fab 2009 as well!

The morning news today said Pueblo was the same temp as Orlando. We know it's warm here but that's cool for Florida.

Hi Dena! Today was a gorgeous day here but it's pretty nippy out there now. I hear the wind howling and when I opened the door, I quickly shut it! You'd think I had been snowed in or something. =)

JAN

... well, it was 9 DEGREES up here in NY today !!! ... I'll take your chilly 57 degrees in a heartbeat !

lol ...

JAN

Sheldon, I lived in NYC for 30 years. I love the place, but hate the cold winters. 9 degrees? It hurts to even think about it. Pass me some hot chocolate please!

... it hurt to go out and and clear the snow off my car this morning too !

Anyway ... I just boiled the kettle .... here's your hot chocolate ...

Mmmm.... you even remembered the little marshmallows. Nicely done!

Maggie....Glad that you recognized the name. That means that you haven't "unsubscribed" :)

I appreciate the kudos on the marketing. Hopefully we will all be fine in 2009!!

OK, I am not sure who that is. Where's your name? I can't see it. Is AR experiencing server 'burps' again? =)
