Florida in the winter

Well, Florida in winter is a real trip. Right now it is 48 degrees at 11:45 p.m. We got the heat running. As a matter of fact, we have had the heat on at night for about a week now. Gonna love that bill. So, we will wake up in the morning and layer on the clothes, looking ridiculous, and by noon we will be stripped down to shorts and a t-shirt because it will be 75.
Floridians have only one wardrobe, ya know. Only summer clothes and maybe a light jacket. We don't have thin blood.. we just don't have any clothing.
I went up to Michigan one February. DAMN cold. Hadn't been out of the state of Florida in like 22 years. We got to Flint, at around midnight and the guy on the radio announced that it is zero. I ask my Mom " What does zero feel like? " She told me to get out of the car and find out. It hurts, people!!! So, the next day it is warmer, but I am freezing. I refuse to leave my brothers house and I stayed in front of the fire. But, by the day after that... I acclimated or it got warmer, because I went out to play in the snow... sniggle... in jeans and sweat pants over my jeans and two pairs of socks and 2 shirts and a sweatshirt and a jacket. I ditched the jacket after a while though. I had a ball. :) It was 32 degrees. Heat wave for Michigan in February. LOL.
Oh, I look forward to Georgia. I look forward to sweating my ass off in the summer and then freezing it off in the winter. At least it will be different than here.
