Odd.
Probably because your body was adjusted to the cool temperature in NYC while it wasn't in orlando?

40 degrees in Orlando feels cooler to me than 40 degrees in Asheville NC. Drier air in NC and not the humid air we have down here in FL.
I lived in the O for about 8 years after moving from Queens NY. At first, I never really felt that winter in Florida was cold, but after about 2-3 years, anything below 50 degrees started to feel chilly!

We relocated from the Midwest about a year and a half ago and I have only had to wear long pants 9 days so far. I normally wear shorts and flipflops each day. I must admit that anything below 70 degrees now feels chilly to me which sounds crazy, but it's true.

Thinking back to 2011, I was in Chicago in January for a funeral where the hearse got stuck in the snow in the cemetery. It was in the teens that day so very cold standing outside for the funeral in my winter weight Florida clothes and coat, hat, scarf, and gloves. Wore the same clothes many days that year here in Florida and with the winds blowing it felt just as cold if not colder down here when it was in the high 30s and low 40s that February down here.

Yesterday I went in to work at noon and got off at 6. It was a hot windy summer day when I walked through the parking lot to get in to work, but by 5PM people were coming in wearing coats and commenting on how cold it was. It went from about 82 to 65 in that short of time. Not cold cold, but cold wearing summer clothes and no jacket.

Love it when we don't have to turn on the heat all winter. Hate it when we use air conditioning everyday.

I must agree, anything below 70 starts to feel chilly for me.

I dont feel the same....my threshold is 60. I find that when temperatures are in the 60s, it feels cool but still comfortable enough to wear short sleeves with jeans. The 60s still feel really warm if I stand in the sun. Below 60 I put on long sleeves, below 50 I get a light jacket, below 40 I get my coat with wool and a hood. I'm not prepared for temperatures below 30, since that rarely happens here in Central FL

Last week, my friends in Las Vegas were telling me that the high temps were only in the 30s during the day and getting into the 20s and 10s at night I lived there two years and I never saw it get THAT cold, thats New England (well, southern New England) type cold. A few people I know had to call plumbers because their pipes burst, and during that time period it was colder in Las Vegas than it was in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island

When I lived in NYC, even after growing up in FL, I wore sweaters in 40 and 50 degree weather. When I'm in Orlando, that's coat weather. It must have something to do with humidity. The same temps in NY feel way warmer than when they happen down here.
