If one can’t play golf due to cold, fog, or freezing rain. Some do cry. Those who travel north and south, find 30 degrees a minor set back. Because your up north Place is minus something

It may be a little chilly but we are not facing 15 inches of snow and the ice is still in our drinks

I think back to the panic stricken woman at Walmart, pushing her cart into my backside a few days prior to Irma...she looked like she thought Irma was chasing her down the isle, not a gladiator at all.

Sure we have shared comments on the cold with the neighbors, but nobody has mentioned moving to Miami. The outdoor participation has certainly dropped with the temperture (No waiting at pickleball courts OR tees), but most realize the cold is short lived here and they can wait DAYS for the warmth to return...not cowardly, just common sense.

My friends are posting this on FB, and I laughed because it's true! I hate the cold, and did not leave the house on NY's day. I am forced to go out tomorrow to work. All the Floridians I know are whining about the weather, me included. We're so used to bright sunny days that all this overcast can really depress you. Can't wait for the high 80's and sunny again!

She was always too cold in Colorado or seemed like it. Never acclimated and now I get cold extremely easily and have to throw on long johns at anything below 33. That is after experiencing the Blizzard of 1991 in Minneapolis, MN. The tail end of my 5.5 years there. Halloween blizzard of 91 dumped 28 inches on Twin Cities

Steve, my roommate in Denver -- or one of them-- now a librarian near Seattle-- was from South Dakota and always seemed good with the Denver weather. Warm compared to what he was used to.

I don't mind the "cold" (as in what's in Florida, not up north), but I ain't stickin' around for no more hurricanes. (intentional bad grammar)

The greatest threat from a hurricane is storm surge which is not much of a possibility here in The Villages and several hurricanes have been very devastating up north. There is no where that we can escape the wrath of Mother Nature but my pick is Florida.

It wasn't that so much as the noise, fear of the roof blowing off and having to go outside several times because of a scared dog with diarrhea.

I'll take my chances with our son in Indy since it won't likely be tornado season.

They only came up for air because they had to at Blue Springs yesterday. Hope they stay healthy!

But Irma was a record breaker. That is not the norm. It seems the weather everywhere is becoming quite extreme.
