Yes, you're right......but it's still winter in Florida....having lived there, I can attest that it does on occasion get below freezing!
Went to boot in Orlando, in October/November/December.....
At any rate, the man has spoken.....Haz, TW, Crusader, PegLeg, Alf, Eric, and even the Professor.....BITE ME!
Did I miss anyone? ;D
-
you call that T-Shirt weather
Bugger that
just ticked over 101 here, :P

Double cuss Phil ;D

It is a heat wave here at 17.
-
It was a high of 20 here today with winds up to 40mph, I don't even want to think about how cold it felt.
All I have to say is...
O, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away,
Away down south in Dixie!
Old Missus marry Will, the weaver,
William was a gay deceiver
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
But when he put his arm around her
He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away,
Away down south in Dixie!
His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But that did not seem to grieve her
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
Old Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away,
Away down south in Dixie!

Same just 30 miles away.

Hang it totally in all your asses!
it is 15 degrees snowing AGAIN.... expecting 2-3 " on top of the 5 we have on the ground.. ( don't forget the 1 inch of solid sleet under the first snow.. )
I'm NOT in the mood to listen to you shit birds telling me how balmy and nice it is in your town.. >:(
Unless you send me a ticket to fly there and visit you..
THEN~~~ I will be a happy little blond.. ;D ;D
-
SE-IA 18-F and going to be snowing soon here. I'm not complaining though.. I like the winter time. My body type is better suited for it. :D
-
Been in the high 20's here. When I pulled in the driveway at work Sunday I was pushing better than a foot of snow with my bumper. Got some localized lake effect snow off Lake Michigan. A few miles away there was only 3-4 inches.

Just to be clear.... It is "Summer Time" down under right? I don't know what your winters are like down yonder but it is quite warm in Iowa during the summer also. Those are however AWESOME pic Phil! I would love to vacation there sometime. Probably not for awhile though :(
-
Damn no wonder you people need the internet, do you ever get to go outside and not get eaten, frozen to death, baked to buggery or blown away by hurricanes or tornadoes?
Its 8.45pm still light and a lovelly comfortable 25 C / 77F clear skies just nice to be sitting on the porch knocking back a coldy!
Gives one time to think about those people upto their genitals in snow........................................... ;D
Muahhhhhhh hehehe

I use mine all year 'round....just gotta let it heat up real well....shovel my way to it and put the crampons on my boots...

Ah, yes. Memories of Chanute AFB, IL in the winter. Been there. Done that. Not to mention, stop overs in Anchorage and Fairbanks. Give me 80F+ any day.
I personally am grateful to all you who live in the frozen clim's. More room for us decent folks down here. Even N. Ga is colder than I'd like.
I dream of chunking everything and moving tropical. "I promise, LORD, I'd never complain about the weather always being the same."
-
Gosh, so many "bite me's" make me feel unappreciated. And, I'm not even in Florida at the moment. I'm freezing my butt off at my kid's place in LA where at the moment it's a chilly 54 degrees. Spent Christmas with parents in Mesa where the high rarely got above 60 and the lows hit 32. I haven't been warm in two weeks. If God wanted us to live in snow, we'd have been born with fur. This cold stuff is the pits. :P
-
Gosh, so many "bite me's" make me feel unappreciated.
unappreciated, maybe. but all the attention should make you feel 'special'
;D

Seen another post about biting.. ;)
12 this morning with a high in the 20's.
I'll take the cold any day and I don't have fur. ;D

a lazy 100.5 here at the moment, might need to put a jacket on this afternoon if it keeps dropping ;D

Is that "special" in a good way? Or is that "special" like oooo you tied your own shoes, here's a marshmallow???
By the way, my monkey just tuned up my 4WD then drove it down to the carwash. But you're right about the bicycles--if the chain falls off, that bad boy's stuck. ;)

I guess you can take that any way you want if really do feel special... ;D
oh and comment at the bottom about monkeys and bicycles, well, that's one I love to tell the 'special' mates and captains that think we need them to have a job ('we', being engineers). they don't realize that it's harder to get a mates license than it is to become an engineer because the Coast Guard tries to weed out the ret... excuse me, 'special' ones.look at the union job board right now and you will find at least 8 maybe 10 jobs for engineers and not a single one for mates or captains. hell, majority of the engineers can learn the navigation in a day, but the mates etc.... would be utterly lost in an engine room or doing anything 'mechanical' (like changing light bulbs). I love picking on simple folk..... ;D ;D ;D ;D :o

You do know the difference between naked and nekkid don't you?
"Naked" is when you do not have any clothes on
"Nekkid" is when you do not have any clothes on - and you're up to something!! ;D

It getting down in 40s tonight. This afternoon though, it was sixty eight. The bass were sulky so no joy there. I thought about making one of TT's snow angels (fully clothed in shorts and a wind breaker, thank you very much) in the sand trap next to the water hazard I'd been fishing in, but thought that would be cruel. ;D

22 and snowing here...I hate snow >:(
-
4th straight day of snow flurries, 1/4" - 1" of snow in a day is not much but when it continues for a week or more it starts to add up :(
High 20's though and not much wind so I can't complain.
-
Tom, we had some real heavy winds here last night, had to be 30 to 40 mph, that seems to be over now.
-
Sorry to resurect an older topic but I thought I would share.
Its now 1.50am here in little ol Tasmania and its 80.6F outside of my door. Luckily I am working Night shift from home because its way too warm to sleep, was so warm today I even went and brought an aircon.
I have seen the latest weather from stateside and they say youre experiencing a big cold snap even in sunny florida.

Moi?
nah never ........ok maybe a little LOL
I was inspired, I just spoke to a work colleague in Virginia (Transurban USA) and he was saying he was freezing, I told him I was sitting here with both the front and back door open wearing only a pair of shorts with the fan on.. Can you believe he actually swore at me!

I'm sitting here in St. Pete Florida where it dropped to 29 outside my bedroom window last night. Just got off the horn to North Carolina where an 80-year-old gentleman told me this is the coldest air he has ever felt. Said it should get up to the high 20's there today. All I can say is Thank God for Global Warming or we'd all freeze to death.
And I know that 29 isn't near what you eskimos up north are experiencing, but this is Florida and we are ill-equipped to deal with this sort of stuff. My heat pump stops pumping heat when it drops much below 40 and my house doesn't have a fireplace. We may start breakin' up the furniture to burn in the driveway if this keeps up. If I didn't have to work, I'd start throwing anti-freeze down my neck (and by anti-freeze I mean Scotch) for the illusion of warmth it provides.

CR, have you checked to see if Haz still has his tail???
;D

I went to boot in Orlando in '75 from Sept to Dec.....there were several mornings that were below freezing that fall. The USN would not allow us to wear any cold weather gear because of the uniform regs.
T-shirt, long sleeve utility blouse (the stupid one), utility pants, socks, boondockers and a ball cap while humping a 15 pound M1 Garand with a leaded barrel...
Fun was had by all..... ;)
It's another lovely day of 35 here in the Northeast fellas.... ;D
-
I'll join in with the 'rubbing it in'
just got back from Pucallpa, Peru on the banks of the Amazon. wow. was that hot! wife loves the heat, but not that much heat. anyway, I had a wicked good time and plan on going back. I'll post a few pics later.
enjoy the snow!

Just saw the weather report here in NE Ohio and they were talking about the weather in Florida. Seems thay had snow/sleet in Orlando recently and the temp is expected to drop into the 20's tonight in parts of Florida after being in the 40's and 50's during the day. Granted it is colder than that here but not by much. Best part is we are used to it and have the clothes to bundle up. Hard to throw on another pair of shorts to keep warm down there.
FWIW
