The first winter after we moved here full-time it was particularly chilly (to me, anyway). One day I was walking into McD wearing jeans, Uggs, long-sleeve t-shirt, flannel shirt, quilted sleeveless vest, and a knit scarf. A woman was pulling out of the drive-thru with her window still open, she looks at me and says, "Where do you think you are, in Minnesota??" But hey, I was cold! So, yeah, maybe don't give away all the heavy clothes until you see how you adjust to Florida weather.
