That happened one year in Pensacola where the temp got down around 10 degrees and stayed there for a couple of days. The hardware stores made a killing.

It is supposed to get down to around 16 tonight but start a warming trend tomorrow and on. We are both wearing winter clothes inside since our HVAC can't keep up with these temps.

I saw on the news where Florida is getting hit with below freezing weather and I thought Oh NO! Barb is gonna freeze her patatootie Off! We are supposed to have snow and sleet, but it is supposed to warm up immediately to above freezing and keep raining.

@Mike CHS I hope it warms up for you and Teresa. I would love a wood burning heater, but there is no room to put one.

I am going to bed with silk long John's on ...10 degrees and I m stuff and frozen solid ....
Is it cold up there at your place ?

We always wear long under around her...but ours aren’t silk....aren’t you fancy?

20°F this morning at 6, warmer than expected.
But I'm not putting that out for comparison, y'all down in Florida aren't prepped for such cold temperatures as Barb said. No 6" walls, double or triple pane windows, R-40 in the attic of older homes. I would HOPE that new homes are built that way though, for energy saving in the summer so the A/C isn't on 24x7. They would be far better able to deal with the rare sub freezing temps.

I feel for you southerners who are getting our winter. Like Bruce said, you aren't set up for those temps. But please don't send us your summer weather, because I would flat die.

They also make Merino wool long johns which are thin and sleek, but very warm. I have three tops I bought at Costco that are 100% wool, but absolutely no itch factor.
Kid#1 gets Merino wool tops and bottoms every year for Christmas. But he spends all day outside.
Kid#2 hates winter, and cold weather but so far refuses to wear long johns.
Obviously he got his weirdness from his fathers side of the family.

Ok Barb, I'll do that. I'm getting the dog team hitched now. I may not make it there till spring has arrived. Hope you understand.

It is soooooooo cold....we had some outside hoses freeze but no bursting...poor dogs don't want to go out either.
I THOUGHT this was the sunshine state, lol..

Well Barb, you DO know that the coldest winter weather comes when there is no cloud cover!
