Florida Cold Snap
I live in Florida. Yet, when I woke up this morning it was thirty degrees outside and sixty-four degrees inside. (That’s with the heat on!) The weather is so out of the ordinary that it’s the top news story on most local news outlets, including this one.
I never was a fan of the cold, but now that I’ve gotten used to it hardly ever getting below seventy, it feels even colder.
One of the things I love about living in Florida is the absence of winter. I love that the weather is sunny and warm ninety-nine percent of the time. It’s just those five or so days a year when Mother Nature goes crazy and brings chilly weather to the south—uggh, that's rough. To make the cold feel even worse, houses in Florida are designed to release the heat not keep it.
They say the weather is going to normalize back into milder temps by the weekend. I can't wait.
I had planned to go out for groceries and other shopping today, but I just can't do it. Instead I'm going to wrap up in a quilt and read until the weather warms up.
