I don't get it either, people do this in the rain even when there's a terrible fog as well. I don't doubt, we will self destruct in time.

This was a 50 car pile up last year in My county.

On one occasion when I was in school the day was called for snow and was gone before noon. On a different occasion they waited until near the end of the day and the sleet/ice had already accumulated on many of the surfaces.

But if there's a chance of a raindrop in temps below 32, the city shuts down. We can't drive in good weather.
My cousin lives down there in Round Rock with her 4 kids and she called bragging about her 70 degrees today. It's 25 here Burr!

My aunt finally got her release date! She's getting out of prison April 4th. She's going to be moving to a very walkable neighborhood as she is never allowed to ever drive a car again. That's a good thing believe me. She hasn't had a drink in years, and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind she will go right back to drinking the second she gets out.

We used to do that to all our northern family and friends, not I reserve it mostly for posting on forums. We have gotten a few gold temps at night once a few times this winter, but mostly temps Average in the 70's in these parts of Fl. It will be a cool night though, probably down to low 50's. burrrrr.

When I was in Florida in the 90's my winter attire consisted of a Flannel shirt. I don't even think I owned a jacket.

I had to read that twice to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Anyway, pretty walkable here for my needs, as I can no longer drive, but for different reasons, medical. BTW, when did they start asking about seizures on the renewal forms? Last time I went to renew my Non-DL, the question came up. Maybe it's specific to this area, thought it was weird is why I'm asking.

I just had on a long sleeve top today, I didn't need that, but the day before it was a little nippy. Today it was perfection, no jacket required flannel would have been too much.

In 1999 I was living in Miami, and decided to move to Chicago to be closer to my mom. So I loaded up a Uhaul truck and set out. It was December and about 80 degrees in Miami when I left. 2 days later I arrive in Chicago and it was 3 degrees outside. I had never been so cold in my life. I had never experienced temperatures like that, and was not even remotely prepared for it. The first day I was there my mom took me out to buy a winter coat. 13 years later cold doesn't even phase me anymore.
