Floridians should not complain about being cold. We have it good compare to the other states.

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.

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.

Yep, I just moved to Florida from MI and I have no complaints whatsoever! I'm cold here in the mornings, but usually the sun is shining and the sky is blue... something you don't see often during the MI winter.
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 understand, but it's a lot better than living in the north.
@noworry28 On the flip side, northers don't have to deal with 8-9 months of 100+ degrees.
@TristanNuvo . That is what air conditioner is for. I'll take that.
