High 30’s low 40’s in morning. It has been warming a bit but the apartment doesn’t. The temp starts going down again and I dread getting a shower. I’ve been cold for the last week here in sunny Florida.

Supposed to go up into the 70’s with lows in 50’s. Can’t wait.

I've studied the science. We really do get "thinner" blood. The amount of lipids flowing in Central/southern Floridian blood is significantly lower in the winter after being here just a few weeks...so we tend to react to cold more "acutely" than our "hearty"/Thick-blooded northern neighbors.

We do indeed ! Regardless of the temps - there's always green to look at.

So true.I lived in California my whole life, until moving to SW Florida 6 years ago. I love the warm water and white sandy beaches. The ocean temps on the Central Coast of Ca. were 55 degrees. And I actually enjoy our summers more, because of our afternoon thunderstorms. Having become acclimated to this environment, it's not so much of a complaint, but an impatience with the colder temps. I DID go out and buy 2 new sweatshirts for my daily long walks on the beach. I don't remember it being this chilly for the last years I've lived here. I have some good friends in Wisconsin that are dealing with some extreme temps. So I am grateful for what I have.

I understand what you are saying, but when it's 50ish here on the gulf, the moisture in the air makes it feel worse.
That and I just don't have any "winter wear", like I did when I used to live up north.

I am bemused by these people I see out in flip flops and tee shirts, complaining they're cold. PUT ON SOME CLOTHES. Get out your winter sweatshirt!
