Cold is relative. The talk around Bradenton is how cold it is. I mean, we are actually having to wear coats. I might even need to break down and buy a pair of shoes! But our definition of cold starts around 59 degrees and down. So when someone from Bradenton complains of the cold, it should be taken with a grain of salt.
However, I enjoyed this brief e-mail interchange among several of my widely dispersed children yesterday. It started with me sending them all a note:
It’s 700 am
34 degrees in back yard
frost on the cars
Brrr.
Several hours later, my son from Cleveland, Ohio responded:
2pm 24 degrees, snow everywhere.
Brrr
To which, my daughter-in-law who lives just north of Miami chimed in:
4:20pm Aventura fl.
60 degrees.
Brrr?

I'm having trouble believing how LONG this cold snap is continuing. *brrrr*Grump.
