WHAT'S GOING ON?!?!?
Will hell freeze over? Stay tuned...
I believe this is all due to Nicole Kidman parting her thighs somewhere in the world.

Our low is your high. :lol:
I'm so confused. I haven't seen the temp go down in the 20's in.... well fuck I don't think I've ever seen it.
Maybe I wasn't paying attention?
I know you northerners are all going "pshshshsh, whatever pussy", but after living in the high 90's for 26 years, a cold snap is ... well.. kind of puzzling.

TGRR,
Isn't going to go into basic agriculture and supply vs demand.
I think it'll be ok, it should be the end of the harvest so they shoulda picked all the oranges by now.
If nothing else you can have all the little squirrel bitten balls off my tree.
Well, I have to confess.....
I got sick and damned tired of my Dad and sister telling me it was a chilly 60 something, so I made numerous sacrifices to this benevolent Rain God I know and for my birthday he sent the shit down to them, you my friend, are unfortunately on the way down to Naples.....
Please forgive me. I did avoid asking for snow. :lulz:
You can always come up here and freeze with me!! :mrgreen:
Seriously though, they said last night they were able to save much of the strawberry crop. If they'd still let them burn the smudge pots, the citrus would be saved as well, but they have to be all "environmental" and stuff.....
It's a mini ice age...

I love the "Whats a 29 degrees?"
:lulz:
Of course, it's 28 right now here so uh...It could be worse. I've seen worse. I've seen a high of 7 and Sunny, which is, by the way, funny as hell.

I love how the icon is a glacier or something.
HOW COLD IS 29 DEGREES?
GLACIERS WILL BE FALLING OUT OF THE FUCKING SKY, SON. THATS HOW COLD 29 DEGREES IS.
They're called "icicles"
Learn to cold weather, noob :argh!:
Oh, I see it now. I interpreted the light blue background under the branch as the face of a massive wall of ice.
Years ago in Miami it snowed. It was only floating around in the air, the ground is way to warm for it to stick, however, there were over 100 traffic accidents in the space of an hour.
It was beautiful!!

Yeah really-WTF?
We normally would get maybe tops a three day cold front---this shit has been on and off for a good week now.
* doesn't want to scrape ice off her car anymore*
:argh!:
The crops may not really get hurt-the cirtus season still has some time to go and so do the berries-but I think they will be fine-except this will be a great reason to up the prices anyway. (I've seen this happen before) Plus now the berries will be wet and not as tasty.
Awh I miss going out to the fields!
Anyway-yeah cold and what not go away!
I want our 60 degree winters back!
25 degrees out here. I thought it was a bit nippy.
It's 43 F here, but scooting home in the wind with crappy gloves and an open visor* makes it a lot worse.
*It's a shitty visor that fogs up no matter what.

The sun went down here about three hours ago. Those unfortunate enough to be caught outdoors in the waning light were immediately frozen to death, then hit by irate New England drivers. They shattered, of course, and the tiny fragments floated in the wind to lightly dust any nearby vehicles. This is how frost forms on windshields in New England.

That happens here too sometimes. In fact, I would humbly request that you desert dwellers keep your hot dry air to yourself. You see, it sometimes ends up blowing down this way in the evenings and brings with it a deeply disconcerting smell.

Yeah. :)
It is currently 40 and mostly cloudy.
Brr.
I'm considering putting the plastic flamingos out next to the nubby little palm tree and turning on the sprinkler or hose.
PS- have I mentioned that my house doesn't currently have central heat? Just little space heaters. We looked all over for another one today and it was like a hurricane scare. They're all gone. These aren't things that sell very often.
It's a little chilly in mah house (terrazzo floors also). Cept for the child's room. Somehow that one little heater makes it nice and toasty in there.
It's fucking 34 right now. With a possible chance of rain/sleet/snow.
On the up side mid next week they say it will warm up.
Speaking of central heat, I can not keep my house warm enough. It seems the temp won't go past 65.
But I guess I shouldn't really bitch eh?
AH fuck it-I like to bitch.
p.s.
Turdley Burgleson-get central heat!
I rent. I'm not paying to do that. Not my house.
Also-- you northerners get that nice fluffy stuff. What do we get?
Graupel!

Yes that's right. Florida can't even snow right. I feel like Charlie Brown. "I got a rock."
SLEET. EW.
LoL @ "I got a rock."
Florida=Fail
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graupel
my son educated me about this the other night :lulz:
It's the new hip meteorological word for sleet. Apparently they wanted it to sound cooler or something. They changed the definition of sleet to be winter mix and now graupel took it's place.
In New England, it's called, "shit." As in, "Oh fuck, not this shit again! This shit freezes on my fuckin' windshield and it's a wicked bitch to scrape. Why can't it just fuckin' snow?"

Yes, this. New England also has "Oh bitchfuckshitdamnit I can drive through this just fine 'cause I know what I'm doing, but some guy's gonna spin out in front of me today, I just know it..."
We also have "Alright this doesn't look too bad, just take it slo-OFUK FISHTAIL"

Rolling blackouts-no electric at schools?
WTF?
We rolled into school this morning and no lights-so we rolled right back home until we know more.
bleh-my son was all "see mom, I woke up for nothing".
Shit-see Florida is not prepared for this shit.
We fail.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Clearwater, Florida, the Suu Family are the only ones within 300 miles that own winter coats...In fact, my sister said the funniest thing is watching what people are putting together FOR cold weather wear, and some women asked her where she got her coat from and if there were any left.
To which my sister replied, "This is what you have to do, you wanna drive across the state and jump on I-95, after about a 1000 miles or so you need to swing into this place called Burlington Coat Factory, there, you can go in, and asked to speak to some guy name Tony who's got the hookups. Tell em I sent ya."
Apparently the women almost took her seriously. :lulz:

I guess people bitched after that one, so they actually do storm days now for all tropical systems sans depression. Pinellas County Schools stop for NOTHING.
No, you guys know about rolling blackouts, right? You realize those are engineered profiteering? This is, hilariously, not even a conspiracy theory, but an actual proven conspiracy which people went to prison for.

Theoretically it's done when the load from the grid exceeds the energy provider's capacity. In California, Enron did it to increase profits.
