Yesterday a cold front came through Southwest Florida. The high temperature was 76° ... that's not all that warm to those of us who live here year 'round and have for more than a couple years. We had temperatures in the high 80's/low 90's only two days ago! The forecast was for a "cold night."
This morning it was a chilly 64° in my house and a very cold 39°out on the lanai (a screened-in, roofed-over concrete "patio" behind the house) ... I turned the heat on!!
Laugh if you must, but after eighteen years of becoming acclimated to temperatures in the 90's for ten to eleven months out of the year and with days in the 80's and nights in the 60's for that other month, when it dips below that is seems very cold to us!
