Sydney, 9:22am Sunday. Today will be fine and sunny, 37 celsius. Hot as hell! Going to a birthday party and will need lots of beer!

I t was finally sunny today that twas a blessing but its still very cold and I wouldn't go out there without a good jacket myself!

I hope tomorrow will be better - I am usually in Hawaii this time of year and forget how cold it gets in NE FL.

although there are cold parts of Hawaii on the mountains and the bad thing there is in the winter when it gets in the 50s even by the beaches, NOBODY has heat or ac and the building codes are horrible insulation wise so you basically freeze your booty off there too but all the time -

At least here I can just save up for a big electric bill and stay warm!

NP. We use freight carriers with refrigerated trucks for frozen materials. Making arrangements now for a pickup!

But packing it may be the difficult thing

The inch of snow they predicted has turned into a little more than 3 inches and the high of 29 just made it to 25. It's sleeting now to put a fresh coat of ice on top of everything.

I think around 50 and sunny? Goin ridin Saturday. Spose to be 60 and sunny. Can't ask for better than that in late January.

So silly around here... highs in mid 60's and people are running for HEAVY winter coats!

Feels REFRESHING and invigorating.

We haven't had our week of 30 degree weather this year to knock out some of the bug population so our mosquitos will be nasty this summer!

33 here and light snow. We've had a very mild winter until last week. Two weeks ago the highs were mid 60's and even 70 a couple of days.

Hey guys, you live on the wrong side of the world! Today, clear, sunny and 28 celsius (about 82 in your language). Might go to the beach for a swim today.

I miss cold weather. I look forward to our 1-2 weeks of nippy nights, and sweaters!

This past November when I went to Germany it felt GREAT being able to wear long sleeves and the one day that was very cold was

a JOY.

Unfortunately most of this winter has been in the 80s

You miss cold weather

Just after midnight it's -1 and windy.
When I got out of the car to go into work at 9:30 PM
it was 4 and it felt like my pants froze solid,
my eyes wrere burning in just the short walk from the car to the door.

I want summer

hidden · « **Reply #17 on:** January 26, 2007, 08:40:43 AM »

Didn't ask for negative temps! But a change of season would be nice again.
90's-106 in summer and 82-85 in the winter is NOT a change of season.

Yes...I MISS cold weather. I look forward to fall for the crispness of the air...not so humid, can walk from the building to your car without building up a slime like in our summers. Look forward to the opportunity to wear things that are just too heavy in other times of the year. I have one cashmere sweater in light blue that was given to me a while back. So soft, so yummy. Can bring it out once, maybe twice a season. I love flannel, brushed cottons, corderouy, tweed and other fabrics with texture. I have a terrific long winter coat. Hasn't been out once this year. (On rare occasion, we have been known to get in to the 20's and remain there for a few days so we do need cold clothes.) Yet I live in Florida, the cotton shorts and tank top state. BLECH. I hate it when I am cheated out of our "2 week winter". It happens every few years and it drives me crazy. I need it to recharge. The weather we had in Germany was downright NIPPY and I LOVED IT! It's FINALLY into the 40's today and I feel good....

yup its in the 40s here too but I don't love it I have a picture of me crying in the snow as a little girl I don't think I ever grew up in that way lol but at least I have warm clothes now for a few years after I started coming back from hawaii i just froze because i couldn't make myself go buy warm clothes ne fl gets a bit colder and for longer than where you are .. but I remember one time we went to the 12 hours of sebring race for the weekend and i took bathing suits shorts and one pair of jeans - it got in the 20s with high winds and that is below you even when i got back to st aug ne fl had its 100 yr snow! Id never seen snow on the beach before.

still florida has its beauty yeah?

It's 30 degrees Celsius in Cape Town, South Africa with clear skies. Rick is right. This part of the world is better now.

Well things are a little better, it up to 25 now, almost balmy

But we got 5 more inches of snow, it took me 3 hours to clear our road today.
At least I will sleep good.

We will be FREEZING tonight in Central Florida. Plants covered and critters in.

FINALLY! I love it!!! With notice, we don't lose crops, pets or plants. Just get the cold weather we need to kill off the buglet population to a decent level! You've heard of Hammer time? Well, now its Sweater time!

On Friday, we had devastaing tornados rip through central Florida.

So far, 20 fatalities and BILLIONS of $ of damages. Looks like a Cat 5 hurricane. BLOCK homes ripped off foundations! The mobile home communities didn't stand a chance.

And last night I found out about the loss of 17 of 18 juvenile Whooping Cranes that had just arrived in Florida. They are believed to have drown during the storms on friday. I saw them fly over in their migratory flight and it was truly stunning sight! Magnificient birds. What a loss! Horrible for the handlers that are trying so hard to rebuild the population.

hidden · « **Reply #30 on:** February 07, 2007, 01:22:30 PM »

I can't remember if I read it or saw it on the news, but the gist of it is that Florida is becoming so overdeveloped that any hurricane or tornado that hit's it will will have devastating consequences. Whereas ten years ago the news would be, "Tornado hits Florida, thankfully it was in a nonpopulated area and there was no fatalities or property damage."

hidden · « **Reply #31 on:** February 07, 2007, 02:58:13 PM »

True we have tooo many people moving here. In this case though, the shear number of tornados, and the wide path make this set of storms unbelievably bad.

Been in the 80's for weeks now.
And no rain.

We are in a MODERATE DROUGHT condition. Baking. Grass is cruchy underfoot, weeds are thriving and other plants are struggling...

We got a double dose of spring this year...must have gotten yours too.

Two of my cats now live on the porch and attached utility room.

One of them jumps up on the perches I have covered in indoor/outdoor carpeting and lays in the sun/heat for hours. Her idea of paradise. With all the rain we have had, the porch is like a sauna these days.

Turtle, you would LOVE it down here. We have a LONG LONG season that is very (too) warm, and no snow. Should consider leaving MI for FL. Just have to dodge a few hurricanes each year.

I lived in Florida near Coco Beach for four years in the mid 60's and loved it.

Oh..... We freeze. Lots of orange grove owners went out of business because of freezes.
But they don't last as long as your winters or nearly so cold.

Wednesday we had the worst wind storm I can remember.
70+ mph winds ripped up large trees and dropped them on cars and houses.
My neighbor lost a 40 year old Willow, it snapped in half and parts spread all over the area.
I was lucky only lost one large tree branch.
But our community looks like a war zone.
We lost power on Wednesday and just got it back late afternoon today.
We had no cable or Internet until this evening.

OH MY....Perfect time to read the new HP book! Dark gloomy forboding...

I have a lantern that runs on batteries and books galore. Like you I would be content to sit and read.
But do have a little B/W tv for storm situations, takes d cell batteries (and in FLORIDA, we ALLL HAVE BATTERIES!).

She has a little TV too
I save the battery from an old UPS and put a wire on it that plugs into her TV for longer hours.

Me If its light out and bad weather I sit by the window and read.

My Book has shipped! will be her in a few days.

You mean just plug the power adapter into the outlet on the UPS?
I never thought of doing that but it would draw far less than a PC....
Or Sensei, oh wise one, are you speaking of some other form of connection?
Please teach me this trick! post image, Tell me how...please.
With our storms this would be a wonderful thing!

Yes me too. Until dark then must have lantern.

But when we get our storms and have power out for hours or days, knowing WHERE the storms are via tv is a blessing.
