Studly Doright is playing in a golf tournament today while I’m home taking care of the cats and doing laundry. Any thoughts I had of getting out and running around town for a bit were dashed by the weather.
It’s “Florida cold” outside, not to be confused with “Michigan cold” or “Wisconsin cold” but trust me, when you’re accustomed to 70° weather with sunshine, a cloudy 40° day is a real bummer, and our night time temps are going to dip below freezing this week. Brrr.
My daughter in Illinois has no sympathy, though, and I can’t blame her for that. Their weather forecast makes me want to cry for them. If they cry for themselves, their tears will freeze on their rosy cheeks.
Studly Doright and I are no strangers to bitterly cold weather. We did our time in the cold white north, four years in North Dakota and another eight in Illinois were plenty for me. Perhaps our little cold snap here in the Florida panhandle is just a reminder to count my blessings. Or maybe it’s just cruel and unusual punishment for some unknown offense. Whatever it is, may it be gone soon. I’m also wishing warmer weather for all those impacted by Winter Storm Harper.
Here’s our own force of nature, also named Harper.
peace and warmth, people.

Cold? I’d call it paradise. I shall send some of our weather…that’ll learn you!

It was Louisiana cold today too. 32 this morning and it was in the upper 60s yesterday before the rain.

That is cold for Louisiana. And with the rain, it probably feels colder.

Yep – Woke up to Florida Cold here in South Florida this morning in the 40s. I’m dressed like that kid from A Christmas Story. The Florida native blood is about as thin as diet water!

I know the look! Meanwhile I ran around Tallahassee in a T-shirt and jeans while everyone else had on their North Face jackets and boots. Stay warm!

Stay warm, Leslie. We’ve had really cold weather in MI but then today it turned warmer (40’s) and all the snow turned to icy slush. Much prefer the snow!
