Florida Gets Cold


1-3-18     I’m not sure if any of you noticed but it’s flipping cold outside. I know that I have very little right to bitch and complain too much since what I’m complaining about is Florida cold and not true northern cold. The problems with our Florida cold is that Mango is absent a true heating source resulting in overnight temperatures reaching the 30’s. Not having a heating source Karen and I are learning several things during this last cold snap. 

The New Year arriving as seen from Fort Myers
Beach rooftop hotel bar.

  1. Cell phones and computers don’t appear to like prolonged temperatures below 40.
  2. It makes sense to go to bed fully clothed and peel off layers of clothes after the bed linens have warmed a tad.
  3. Our brass lantern when lit not only looks great but also doubles as a great hand warmer.
  4. Laying clothes out in the morning sun for a while gives us the feeling as they just came out of the clothes drier when getting dressed.
  5. Staying in bed longer in the morning makes more sense than ever.
  6. Turtles, Manatees, crabs and iguanas can get confused in the cold weather and do strange things, iguanas will appear dead and fall out of trees.
  7. Ice cubes don’t have the same appeal when boating at temperatures below 40 degrees.
  8. Super moon’s make for some very low and high tides. (Nothing to do with temperature)
  9. Sunshine makes everything better.
  10. Beaches are not crowded when the temps are below 50.
  11. We’re very lucky people even if it is flipping cold.
Plenty of room at the beach.

Tides get mighty lo
