The National Weather Service says snow, hail and sleet have been falling across Florida and even in Miami the low last night hit 39 degrees. Nancy sent me this picture from Ocala where frost is always a possibility in winter:
It's been going on too long, and I myself am starting to feel like an iguana, sluggish and sleepy all the time. Supposedly it should be over by Thursday and not a moment too soon, with a low predicted tonight of 45 in Key West. Paula said her living room never made it above 50 degrees (10C), and she came to work in her (fake fur) lined parka which looks both absurd and enviably comfortable at the same time. The only good thing I can see is that we did have some sunshine this afternoon, and no crowds are expected to be about in the city tonight. Last night we had one arrest, and I rather think the trespasser didn't do too badly at all considering how cold it was all night outside the jail. I couldn't bring myself to ride the Bonneville to work tonight, blaming the 35 mile per hour north winds, for making it feel just too cold.

Pablo told me it was 60ºF on the Oregon coast where he and The Wave were spending the weekend, which apparently made it the warmest spot in the U.S. I got a press release from Porsche saying it was below freezing in Daytona Beach, where practice for the Rolex 24 is happening.
Oh, and the mounting point for my helmet's face shield broke, leaving it in the open position. The Gorge winds are making Portland cold. But not weird...

A telling photo today.
There was a news story about cold iguanas falling out of trees in Florida.
Hope it changes soon for you folks. Colder than normal is no fun.
Seattle was 50ish today and I rode about 25 miles this afternoon. Admittedly I did have my heated liner turned on to low -:) When I got home I realized my butt was cold LOL
Dear Sir:
Once again, I find myself in agreement with you. Enough is enough. It's fine to known that you are occasionally tortured... But I do not wish it on you as a steady diet.
Fondest regards,

Hope you and your comrades are managing to keep warm.
Cold greetings from the Schweiz.
