If you're thinking in terms of Miami or Fort Lauderdale, I've lived in both cities, and it gets just as cold as it does here. 40s, high 30s. I remember actual snow in Ft. Lauderdale, they closed the schools so the kids could play.

It will get cold in TV. Our pool company set the pump timer to run overnight to prevent the pipes from freezing. Early in the day it is possible to see lawns coated in ice when the irrigation system is run on a very cold night.
There are often frost delays on golf courses.
Looking at pictures from a web cam can be deceiving since people will put coats on long hair dogs when the temps are in the high 50's.
I find that the worse thing about winters in TV are the crowds for all the events.

Thanks all for the replies. Miss Sam (my spouse) said it might be nice to have a little change of season, so I guess we are past the "Winter" hurdle. Really looking forward to our visit. Just got the DVD, enjoyed that. Those that are there already, I feel just P green. :thumbup:

If you're a snowbirdtobe, you'll be a contributor to the big crowds. Maybe you should become a frogtobe. That way you can enjoy TV in peace once all us Seasonal Residents have flapped our wings and flown North for the summer. :wave:

Richie, thank you sooo much for the song...I love it! As far as getting cool (or cold) at times during the winter, I think that's neat. Sometimes it feels good to put on a hoody or sweater and just snuggle, but the best part is...you know it won't be for long!!! It's kind of like having the fun of autumn but not having to anticipate winter. I have always equated fall with a prisoners last meal...yeah, the food tastes great but guess what's next!

Love Fall, the prisoners last meal, left me speechless.

As a frog, I like the cooler winter days as it gives me a chance to wear my blue jeans once or twice a year!

What you said is true. A person's blood does thin ...it is not just an old wives tale....so 50 degrees feels mighty cold to Mother in law who has lived in Florida 30 years now.

Me too. I need to lose about 4 inches of ice cold fat.
