It's too early in the season to be so COLD!
 

It's gonna feel like January tonight! It's too early....I am whining! It's too early!

Good to hear this isn't normal. This is our first year here and it's only November and already wearing a jacket today. But, someone from NJ would consider this still summer!

You're right, it's too early for January weather. Cover the Hibiscus.

I'd be whining also if we lived in TV full time! You forget what it's like up north! Being from Canada, we'll be in bliss when we arrive.

I am so glad this is not normal. I was about to pick up and head south for the winter.

Just remember, there will be NO SNOW.... :D

I would be more than happy to trade a week with you for my place in CT with 6 inches of snow today. :smiley:

Is it a deal?

P.S. I'm whinning too!!!!!

Boy, one gets spoiled quickly :)

This is unusual....just heard that soon we'll be in the 80's again!

Bring on the warmer temps!!
 

I have to agree with the temps being cool too early. It seemed like it went from 80 to 60 with no in-between! After hurricane Sand came through that was it. We had planned on swimming in our pool until December but the solar heat is not hot enough to bump the temp back up warm enough to swim. I think our swimming days are over until spring. But, if I had to choose between NYS or FL it's FL hands down. Love it here!!

30's and snowing here in RI. Several inches and 30+ winds.

i should feel as cold as cquick! ;)

looking out of my window it LOOKS like january besides feels like january!

I can't believe I have to suit up and go out and clean my driveway and walks. I hope my snowblower starts. Brrrrrrrrrrrr:cold:

7 more years of abnormal weather
 

We all might try to get used to this for a few years. As I understand it we are in a weather circustance similar to the 1950's to early 60's. The Pacific ocean has cooled significantly and the Atlantic is in a warming pattern of ocean currents very similar to 60 years ago, in which there were several major hurricanes up the East coast and lots of snow for the North East. How this impacts Central Florida I would have to do more research on, but suffice it to say, things are going to seem odd weather wise for the next few years. So if you still live in the North East and are a TV wanna be like myself, it may be time to make the move. If this bothers you a bit, look on the bright side. After this timeframe is over the weather will be great for the next 60 years!

:angel:

Luck 'O the Irish, I guess. It started right up, and the first pass, I broke a shear pin on the augur, rendering it useless. Just called my plow guy/yard guy. He's gonna bail me out.:crap2:

Sounds cold in RI. :cold: It's 40 here today in Canada, but we don't care cuz we're leaving for The Villages sunshine on Friday! Actually, temperatures here are going up to 57 on the weekend which is unseasonably warm for Ontario.

You're telling me. A kid just threw a snowball at my golf cart this morning.

I adore Canada, but this TOO cold for now... Mother Nature, please help us!

Note to self: Always have extra shear pins on hand....... :shocked:

:jester:

Bill :wave:

I owner a snowblower from 1983 until I moved to TV in 2006 and never sheared a pin...Nothing runs like a Deer. When I first moved down from Minneapolis a day like this would have been in shorts and sandals. However after 6 years anything below 50 degrees means I hibernate

How will we get our vehicles started in this bitter cold season.Can a SEARS DIEHARD BATTERY WITH 725 COLD CRANKING AMPS TURN OVER THE ENGINE WHEN THE crank case Oil GETS THICK?

Must we get engine block heaters to thaw the oil?

:sing:Do the snow plows come at regular intervals to help the shut ins?

It's fairly warm at 34 degrees now in Vermont........and just "spitting snow".
No accumulation. Will go down to 22 degrees overnight. 50's & 60's by weekend.

Snow blower, calcium chloride, electric shovels, etc. all ready and waiting.
Plus cleated strap on thingies for shoes and cleated "boots" for walking on icy hilly driveway to go down and get the mail at the road..........it's the ice under the freshly fallen snow that can make one slip and fall........

Apparently Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Jersey are getting more snow than Vermont......it's been an unusual pattern for a few years now..........

Only once this season has it gotten cold enough for them to "make snow" at the ski mountains.......... but might be doing it now as well.

Above list great advice for those lucky enough to be CLOSING UP THEIR NORTHERN HOMES TO FLY OR DRIVE DOWN TO FLORIDA............

The first thing I sold before we came to TV was my blower....figured it might be a tough sale once we got to TV

Damnit, I just put snow tires on my golf cart this morning and now they won't let me on the golf courses........

Actually the tires had nothing to do with it , I've been taking to many divots lately..........

fumar the digger

I could swear I saw a gator eating a penguin in the pond this morning but it might have been a small dog in a tuxedo.

It' so cold, I saw a chicken running across the street with a capon.

From another female point of view, I am loving this cool dry break, my hair isn't frizzing and stays looking great all day. No ponytail, I get to where it down. YES!!!!! Plus, the little bit of make-up I wear is staying on and not sliding off my face. YES!!!!!!! Damn I look good in the winter. Giggle.............

I sure wish that I hadn't sold my ice skates and hockey stick.

:cold:

Boogie you better start rehearsing

Saw some frost on the rooftops this morning - hope you are tending to your sensitive plants. Even if you just throw a sheet over them should be enough right now.
