Lived in Florida my whole life...it's been in the 30s all week, wtf is this madness. Bring me my 60 degree weather!
A message from Canada.
"Stop complaining".

I'm not complaining, I'm just telling Florida not to complain.

I'm in Florida too, and I for one am glad it's finally cold. I'm so sick of 85F in early December, I get enough heat during August to last me all year. I can just wear a coat and be nice and warm now.
That being said, I have no idea how anyone can live in a place that gets to -30F. That just blows my mind.
I get cold if it's in the 50s :-(
Shit, it gets below 68 and you'll find me under a pile of blankets.
It was 23º in Gainesville this morning... I wore 2 jackets, thermal pants, jeans, 2 pairs of socks, a beanie and the hood on my sweatshirt. Soon as I got outside of my doorway, I had to jump back inside. Fuckin' hell!
Anything below 60 is cold for me. My office in school (on center drive) is freezing even during the summer. I have to wear a sweater and I keep a small space heater on my desk. My hands basically are numb all the time. Drives me nuts.
Canada = Your car is encased in ice, but it's a lot colder than 22 degrees, so it's a lot harder to chisel your car out of the ice. FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Edit: Wait, did you mean 22 degrees celcius or fahrenheit? Oh God, you're American, so you probably meant fahrenheit.... misinterpreted-the-comic-FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU
How could you even have ice at 22 celsius?
I thought that was the whole point. I thought you were complaining about how FFFFFFFUUUUU'ed up the whether is where you live, where it's below freezing at night, and the next morning, it's already 22 Celcius.
I got a friend who lives in Florida and he told me even when it snows overnight, it's usually warm enough the next morning to wear shorts.
Edit: I was gonna fix my "whether" -> "weather" typo, but I felt like I should receive public shaming for being such a dumbass, so I'm just gonna leave it in.
Usually, yes, but the past week or so it's been unusually cold.
cool story, bro.
we should make a FLA subreddit
Turns out there is one, I just joined it myself: http://www.reddit.com/r/florida
Not sure how news of Fark goes around here but they have had a Florida tag for a couple years at least. It's very useful.

God, I wish it was 22.
Welcome to Canada, Southern United States.
You don't know what cold is until its so cold out that the battery acid in your cars battery has literally frozen solid and your car wont start - A Canadian.
The weather where I live.
florida is such a dick.

You are from Florida, you don't know what cold is.
I am from Pennsylvania. I came to Florida to escape this madness.
(I realize I am a weenie)
I'm from Wisconsin. I feel for you down there!
You are from Pennsylvania, you don't know what cold is.
Fair enough. :)
You do, however, know what snow is. I spent my freshman year in western PA and it seemed like it was continuously snowing.
Same deal. Washingtonian currently in Florida, and its NEVER been so cold. Had to get a heavier blanket / sleep in clothes for once.
Do block heaters come stock in florida? (oh man! for other Celsius folk like me, 22 is -5). I wear shorts in -5. OP, perhaps it is a good day to go to the water park?
Block.....heaters..?
its like a heating element in your vehicles engine block, that you plug into 120volt. very common with diesel engines. pre-warm the engine on a cold-ass day and its much easier to start.
