I wish it was always like this. I feel more alive and the longer is is not hot the smaller my waistline gets. Cold to me is when temps go below 45 and so far it has not happened.

Also, when one is used to an average temperature of 96 degrees with high humidity and then it drops to 45 with a dew point of 24, that's a what...53 degree drop in temperature...kind of like going from 66 to 11....hmmm, and you wonder why we find it a bit tiddly nibbly.....thank god for sox with toes in them to accomodate the flip flops we won't give up.

It is totally refreshing for us who've made it through the heat & humidity of summer months....and we kind of laugh at tourists who didn't pack right now....

Not even that was enough to make me want to move to Florida. I just wanted SPRING to come in NY. 49 degrees at night in Florida? ROFL

Do you know how cold it is to dig and axe your car out of -40 degree weather WITHOUT windchill in Northern Maine then axe your driveway? I would have BEGGED for a "cool" NY winter.. Moderator cut: comment

8 degrees in NY... not enough to make me EVER want to live anywhere remotely close to NY....roflmao. Moderator cut: comment .

It hardly ever gets down in the single digits in downstate NY anyway.

Cold really isn't as bad as you think it is. A lot of us just get used to it. Not saying I like it, but I just get used to it after the first few days. It isn't a big deal after a while.

You can't tell others what they should consider cold or hot.

While I wish it were a little warmer, this is definitely not as bad as I had it in Philadelphia . I had to laugh, however, because as I entered school this morning, (I teach high school) there were so many students not only in winter jackets, but wrapped in blankets as well!

When I leave the house I don't wear a jacket at all if it's not less than 55 degrees.

So much for all the people claiming it NEVER goes below 70 year after year, we used to have fall and winter, global warming, blah blah blah.

It's been 42 here for over a week. It only goes out of the 40's in the sun when there is midday sun. I was going to move further north (in FL) so I didn't have to live in 70 and above based on everyone swearing so here.

Thank goodness I waited.
