68 is too cold for me.

Sunny it looks like your lower comfort level is my upper comfort level.
Good example of different strokes for different folks.

I'm going to post the most temperature fluctuating 7 day forecast we have this winter so people can see what I mean.

Unwelcome in my book too, but the status quo is welcome at least for now.

I frown upon people such as those. At least people like me know what weather I want. I hate cold but I can manage to deal with it.

Now that's a opinion and not based on fact.

Mid 80's during the day and lows in the 60's at night is a nice break even for this die hard endless Summer lover. My only hope is to avoid the extreme cold snaps we've gotten these past 2 years as that is not the norm. Cool but not cold is my mantra and warm but not wet is my request. Personally I love the way it feels on Christmas Day sometimes when the air is slightly cool outside and the sun shines down warming you to perfection, unlike most locations north of here.

Dude, we are all well aware as to when the humidity disappears as most of us have lived here for at least a few years now. It's the 5 months of steam bath weather that most of us talk about. As far as the weahter now, think about all of the mold that's cringing now in your apartment as the dewpoint goes down.

What sucks is that when the weather finally gets bearable, the daylight hours are much shorter.

Actually, when I lived in swFlorida the much nicer weather signified the snowbirds were coming back. The weather is beautiful from November through April - minus a few weeks of fairly cold weather - but you have to put up with the hordes of people, most pretty darn nasty. By the time they finally left the heat would be on us. It was one of the many reasons I liked Orlando so much more.

I have lived here for almost a year now, and the weather is about the only thing that I really like. I think the summer was pretty mild. But it was my first summer and I moved from N. Texas and it is like 115 w/heat index there.

I want my Christmas and New years holiday stretch to be 92 degrees with a dewpoint of 79 and lows of 83! But I'll settle for daytime highs of 82 with a dewpoint of 73 and nighttime temps of 74! =)

Checking Tampa weather looks like highs in the upper 80's with lows in the low 70's.. if this is what you consider cold weather i'd suggest going to see a doctor as you may have some circulation problems..Had a friend who suffered from being cold even though temps were in the 90's and she was sweating profusely, turned out she had diabetes and her circulatory system wasnt functioning right due to the diabetes..

I'd love a 90 degree Christmas with thunderstorms!
