Someone on facebook (from NY) posted a picture of a snowman with a sign that read, "Florida". I commented that though it would feel like swimming pool weather to us right now, it was 37 according to my phone yesterday in Orlando. Someone else posted, "No, stay up north! It's freezing down here. It's getting to 30's at night and highs of only 50's." I immediately thought of this and all the other threads on this forum about folks riding in the extreme cold.
I don't commute, but when it started to get down to a high of 50, I thought I might need to wear longer pants and a long sleeve shirt on my exercise ride. I was wrong. I was miserable the whole time sweating my rear end off wishing I was in shorts and a short sleeve. Coldest I did was about 35 in the shade of the woods. Jeans after work and a light jacket. Few minutes of that at 35 and the jacket was unzipped and I wish I didn't have it with me. Never got the chance to see what colder than 35 was unfortunately because of overtime at work.
For the record though, I do think you folks are crazy with this cold, LOL. I can't even stay warm in my car in the mornings.
