Floridopers, who's excited about the cool front?

I’m cold.

I just felt the first truly heavenly breeze of the season. Ahhhhh.

I drove to work this morning (68 degrees F) with the window down. Man, I’ve been waiting for this. Of course, we’re moving tomorrow to a house with a swimming pool. Yep, we decided to get a house with a swimming pool in October. Oh, well, there should be about another month of swimming weather if I tough it out.

Hands cold. Hate this. Already.

I actually felt cold today when I walked outside! It was 68 degrees! I love it so much. So much. Please, please mommy, can we keep it?

I’m near Orlando, and it’s supposed to be back in the 90s next week, so I think you’ll have several more weeks of swimming.

It is freakin’ gorgeous outside! We should get “beautiful days” like they get snow days up north. :smiley:

I’m doing great, baby. How are you?

There was a definite chill in the air when I left for work…now, if we could just get some god-pounding rain to go along with it…

I had to drive from Jacksonville down the road to St. Augustine today. It was great! I took 1A instead of I-95 and had the windows down and, for the first time in months, the AC off.

I hate it. If I wanted to be cold, I would have stayed in South Dakota.

This morning was cool, but humid. Now, it’s warmer but dry. I prefer the latter to the former.

I get joint pain when the weather gets cooler but I still love cooler weather. I can handle a little pain, it’s the “can’t move, can’t breathe, soaked in sweat, can’t do anything, I think I have heatstroke” feeling that I don’t want.

The change in the weather threw a monkey wrench into my sinuses. I got up yesterday with a splitting headache and didn’t get to feeling better until after I puked…on the up side, I stayed home from work, got some reading done, and I prefer a minor headache-and-puke episode to the constant misery Wile E describes.

This is what I miss about my years in Tallahassee. The weather got cool enough that I could wear some spiffy winter clothes, drink hot chocolate/coffee/hot cider and not get overheated, and my skin would completely clear up and “glow”. I also miss the February/March backyard parties with bonfires, a keg, and trying to hold back use of “I hate fuzzy bunnies” until the smoke from the bonfire was unbearable.

Orlando winter is just not the same. :frowning:

I have Reynaud’s Syndrome (capillaries constrict in my fingertips, cutting off circulation), so whenever temps are below 70º or whenever I hold an icy cold glass, my fingertips go numb and turn many fantastic colors. The blue is my favorite. Then they hurt like hell when I warm them back up and the blood starts flowing again.

I love it, I want more ! I really can’t wait until January-February.

Precisely! I live in downtown Tally, and we’ve got a space where we have bonfires all through the winter. I love when it’s cold enough to just set a twelvepack of beer outside the circle of fire warmth and not worry about icing it.

Howdy, neighbor! :wink:

I’m in Levy Park, technically Midtown.

Howdy, neighbor! I’m across Monroe and up toward the capital from you. (Capitol? Which one is right for the building? I never remember.) Too bad it clouded up again today, eh?

A powerful front came through S. Texas early this morning in the form of a bed-shaking line of thunderstorms. No issues with that though as I love the rain, especially sleeping to it. It took us from warm and muggy days to a cooler, drier, snappier, blue sky day with the gentlest of breezes.

This is awesome.
