Partly cloudy and 80° in Daytona Beach.  I'm not complaining about the lack of snow, though.  :)

Just before I went to work at 5:00 this morning, though, it started raining very heavily.  Thank goodness it started just before I left home - it gave me a chance to get my umbrella and raincoat!

You guys would never experience a true Christmas living in Florida. To me, 80 degrees on Christmas is distgusting. It never gets me into the Christmas spirit. Just ask anyone else that lives up north.

I think the fact that I had to work on Christmas Day took the spirit right out of me.

I lived in northern climates for 29 years, and I do not miss the cold or snow at all.  80° weather doesn't seem very Christmasy, but I'd gladly have that any day over disgusting winter conditions.

The only thing disgusting about wintery conditions is when you drive in it and in an area like here, it's usually not a problem. There's nothing distgusting with having snow on the ground. I would certainly take snow on Christmas than 80 degrees on any day and be sweating. IMO

I had an alright Christmas (weatherwise). We had temps in the 50s and drizzle/rain all day (rather have that than nothing). I wasn't in the spirit until TODAY  :dunno:

Oh boy! Looks like tomorrow night's winds are going to be monstorous. I just took a look at a few models. I wouldn't be surprised if the NWS issues a high wind warning. Might see gusts up to 70 mph. TWC is only predicting sustained winds of only 29 mph, which brings me back to the night of Dec 7th, where TWC predicted winds of 28 mph but we had sustained winds at around 40 mph.

The way you worded that reminds me of the hurricane that struck the Gulf of Mexico coastline during World War II.  Due to concerns the Germans would find out America's oil production area would be at risk, news about the hurricane was censored, even to most people living in the affected areas.  Needless loss of life meant that hurricane warnings were never censored again, war or no war.

We're supposed to get some winds too, although not the caliber you're describing there. I miss being up in North Dakota, though. It's too calm and balmy down here. Give me 20s, give me winds gusting to 40 knots, and give me wind chills down to -20, and I'm happy.

What is the criteria for a wind warning up there? Not sure it would reach warning criteria but easily looks like an advisory

For a wind advisory, it's sustained winds of 31 - 39mph or gusts to 46 - 57mph. Not sure about high wind warnings. But I swear to god I must have just experienced 75mph wind gusts. I've never seen winds this strong in my life and I'm not even exaggerating.

Edit: Just heard on the news that one of the hangers at Long Island Mac Arthur  was torn apart by the high winds.
