A chill wind blows

November is just around the corner, and northern Florida is finally starting to see a bit of the colder weather. For most of the last week we still had temperatures in the 70s, but the last few days have seen it drop to the mid-60s, and as low as 40 at night.

Yes, I said 40. All you people with snow suck.

Anyway, this cold weather isn’t that big of a deal for most of the people I know. Really it just means digging a light jacket out of the closet. However there’s always the weird Florida people who just can’t cope with any kind of cold. Last night as I was coming back from Krav class I passed my upstairs neighbor giong out to her car… and she was fully decked out in a winter coat and gloves, and had a scarf covering her face.

It wasn’t even 40 yet! Probably somewhere in the mid 50s.

It’s not just my neighbor, either. Every year about this time the residents of Florida start looking like they’re headed to ski resorts instead of work. We won’t even see our first freeze until after December, most likely. I don’t understand how they’re not sweating under all those layers.

Honestly, sometimes I just don’t understand Florida at all - and I’ve lived here most of my life.

Every summer afternoon

I went to lunch ealier and it was blazing hot outside, no clouds, high humidity - like 95 degrees. Less than an hour later and there’s a really strong thunderstorm.

Gotta love Florida weather.

It’s like this every day, really. I still have a fully loaded car from stuff I was moving out of my parents’ house that a storm prevented me from unloading. The same storm also started a fire in a neighborhood just down the road from my parents via lightning strike.
