Baby It's Cold Outside!

Florida winters are generally warm. Highs in the 70s. Lows in the 50s. Warm enough to wear flip flops but cool enough to shut off the air conditioning. Every winter we get several cold fronts that plunge down from the North and cool us down at least 20 degrees. Normally these cold snaps only last a day or two. This year we are breaking a new record. Not a record for cold temperatures but a record for how long these cold temperatures are sticking around! Our Highs have been in the 50s with Lows in the 30s for the last 6 days!

These cold temperatures have been hanging around so long that I had to buy Maddy & Mikayla mittens! It's comical but Madelyn wasn't even able to go outside with her new mittens for recess yesterday because the shaded playground was 38* at 1 o'clock! I know that sounds like a heat wave to some people but that is quite cold for kids that aren't used to it!

So, it's supposed to warm up a bit on Friday... right before an even colder front plows through our state. Our Highs will be in the 40s with Lows around 30* this weekend! Holy moly! Cover your plants, bring in the pets and bundle up Floridians!
