Getting Cold
« on: September 14, 2011, 08:15:04 AM »
It's getting cold now. Are you feeling it? Soon Fall and Winter will come and it's going to be very cold. Seems like the last two days were the last days of summer heat, even thou' we had about a month and a half of 65-74F degrees when the middle of the day and gets down to like 60F degrees at night. Now, it's 60-66 F a day and 40-50 F at night (for the next week). Well, I revise my whether every few days. Do you guys plan on doing anything this Fall/Winter?

I plan on swearing and being pissy about snowy / frozen roads (winter). 

I plan on swearing and being pissy about the raining and wind (fall).

So basically I have nothing out of the ordinary planned for at least the next 6 months. ::)

There's a very slim chance of me trying to get to Fanfest 2012 (date unknown thus far).

Winter changes nothing for me unless the roads are unpassable due to snow (it was really really bad last winter) I'll still go to college on my bicycle 90% of the time. I don't really go to festivals or other big events so nothing can be changed in that regard, I guess.

I don't mind because Fall and Winter seasons seem to be very hot in anime this year :)

Also I'm fully prepared for cold days :)

Winter in FL means I don't have to mow the lawn in 90+F weather.  This makes me happy as long as the temperatures don't drop below the 50s.

I'll wait until the October when it hit's -10 and then start jogging outside to get in better shape. I like jogging more during the winter because the cold air makes sweating less annoying and there is something about grasping cold air with your lungs that is at first uncomfortable, but after a while much more pleasant than warm air.

Oh, funny thing, I never caught cold that way, usually it is when I sleep with my feet sticking outside the blanket while the window and the door are open making a draft.
For one thing, Tiff is not on any level what I would call a typical American.  She's not what I would consider a typical person.  I don't know any other genius geneticist anime-fan martial artist marksman model-level beauties, do you?

Jogging during the winter actually improves your immune system, regular practice is important. I doubt you catch that many colds actually, your Immune system should be pretty tough to break, probably just a flu every now and then right ? Even then it shouldn't be very hard on you.

The cold air has more benefits as well, I think you should be able to google it. Personally I love the smell of winter air.

I was in Florida at Christmas a few years ago. My mind was boggled that I could go out in a tshirt in December

I'm okay with the rain and snow - as long as I don't drive. I'm okay with cold and very cold weather. Thou' my body can't withstand cold weather(I lived in the desert long ago so I can take the heat, but I hate hot weather).

Don't just assume that you are right. Verify with the best tools available and if you are wrong, change your mind and you will become right.

It seems like the last few years, the weather extremes in central FL have varied more than usual.  I mean anecdotally, of course; I don't have any hard data to back it up, just my imperfect memory.  It's normally colder in February than in December, and it's not unusual to be outside sweating in shorts & Tshirts around the Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays.  The last few summers have been brutal (seems like almost every day in July & August this year the temperatures were 96+F), and conversely there have been more cold snaps in during winter the last few years than I remember before that.

Of course it could be just that I notice this stuff more now that I have a house & a big-ass lawn to take care of.

I dont particularly like the cold whether, but I participate in winter sports so, its part of the deal. Kinda hard to snowboard on grass.
Plus I live on a lake so when it freezes over I can just drive straight across it. Saves me time going to the store, lol.

But I will agree, the varying of weathers is getting more extreme. It's hotter in the summer time and it's colder in the winter time. Does this mean is global warming or global cooling? Or is it climate change?

Duh, if it's colder in the winter, then that's proof that there's no such thing as global warming, and if it's hotter in the summer it's proof that poor people should stop expecting a handout from the government and should go get a job to pay for air conditioning like everyone else.
