You are from Florida, you don't know what cold is.

I am from Pennsylvania. I came to Florida to escape this madness.

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.

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?

2
Nebu•

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.

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.
