South Florida declares State of Emergency - for cold weather!

[kko]

Here's one from a couple winters ago.

See thats some BS right there. NOFUGGINWAY could you pay me enough money to live in that. I would die within 60 seconds of being outside in that.

The reason they look at closing the schools in some areas is some of them are held in portable classrooms that dont have heat!

Wow, I was actually going to make a joke about "unless they don't heat the schools in South Florida" but decided it couldn't possibly be true!

Yeah, that's pretty extreme. It's not like that here.

However, I bet one day on the slopes, skiing or snowboarding, and you'd gain an appreciation for having a full four seasons of all sorts of different outdoor sports. I grew up in San Diego, not all that different from your own climate (though less humid), and after 12 months here I never wanted to go back. There's just so many options and so much variety.

To each his own, though, glad you like Florida. My brother-in-law certainly seems to, and he lives within minutes of your shop!

What's the water temp in your neck of the woods this time of yr?

[kko]

About 60..wayyyyyyyyyyyy to cold for me to get in. We took a 2011 RZ4 to the lake the other day to put it into service and I stuck my hand in DEAR GOD it was cold. Luckly this guy ordered this boat with a heater! Hell yes it rocked! I never understood why people in Fla. want heaters in their boats but I was glad this guy did.It was like mid 50 air and 60 water..yeah you know it we were the only ones on the lake. When the air and water temps. dont add up to atleast 140 I am done with watersports. I will take the boat down the river and out into the bay for a day trip to some of the little islands but as for boarding No Sir!

[91Terminator]

In the Pacific Northwest it's the "100 rule". I'd never heard of the "140" variant until Tony mentioned it during our visit.

FWIW, Christopher is usually wakeboarding before the water warms to 60F in the spring. And that's in a shorty wetsuit. 'Course, we probably sweat more than you locals when we visit Florida! {grin}

We finally got snow yesterday, couldnt wait to take out the 79 Kawasaki for her maiden run at 6 am!! I love the smell of 2 cycle in the morning!

Headline: 20-Degree Temps Coming To Central Florida!

>>ORLANDO, Fla. -- The coldest air of the season will blast Central Florida by late Monday night and record-low temperatures in the high teens to mid-20s are expected across the region.<<

Just need a few more crates of fogging oil, and I'm off to make my fortune in Florida {grin}.

Those heated seats are great for back therapy when traveling long distances.
