My Grandfather lived in Florida
for quite a bit of time. When we went down to visit, I always found it amusing that people on the way down there in 50 degree weather had their winter coats on. I always thought to myself, what would they do if it was cold?

 I always laughed at them too, when we were coming down to visit. Now, I've become one of them! Not quite as drastically...but when there's a 40 degree temperature drop in a few hours, we FEEL it!
The worst part is preparing all of the landscaping and plants for the blast, the poor babies aren't used to that

It's been noted here in my kneck of the woods that first "warm" days in spring (temps like 40s) folks run around in shorts and t-shirts  First cool days of fall, we put on all the fleece we own.  Think it's what one is used to. I can remember going down to St. Pete to visit Dad and Mom during Jan or Feb and sitting out in shorts and t-shirt trying for a quick tan  and they were in sweaters and/or jackets. It was like 60s.

Well, for the most part
you still don't have to worry about the weather like we do, which, if you have orchids, has to be a blessing in itself. When the weather looks bad up here, I just freak out, completely driving my wife crazy.

Gregg, I start worrying about cleaning off the roof, can the letter carrier get to the front door, can I get to the trash can, might people think we aren't home, there are sooo many things to worry about this time of year. What is this "white Christmas" stuff people talk about?
