Now TWC is forecasting 18 to be my low tonight!!! :brr: :brr:
You're gonna be even colder than me tonight. I guess it makes sense though, I don't live very far from the downtown Atlanta area the city is a major heat island.

So glad I don't have to deal with this. :P

BTW, you Floridians who disliked the warm weather for Christmas, is this a good enough change for you? :rofl:

Hey! You're not to far away from our 14°F low. At least I don't live in the Pine Barrens of LI, looks like they may drop even below 0°F  :brr: :faint:

EDIT: Scratch that, when there's wind, radiational cooling is slowed and they breeze is coming off the Long Island Sound which still has temps in the upper 40's to low 50's, NOT TO MENTION WE ALSO HAD SOUND/OCEAN EFFECT SNOW TODAY.

TWC upped our low by a degree to 19, but that is still very brutal for Central Florida. Also, the entire state of Florida is under some sort of freeze warning now. :o

My low for tonight is 19° by NWS and 22° from TWC. I don't care who is talking, this is bitterly cold for my area. I walked out of school today in the mid 30's and the wind blowing and I felt like I was in a freezer!  :brr:

This is one of the reasons why I live right along the coast. Not trying to say anything. The temperature seldom drops below 5°F every year. In fact, there are species of palm trees that can survive single digit temps. I see them along the beach a lot, here's a link to the palm I'm talking bout,

Don't ask :rolleyes: I just quickly googled it.

I was out walking this afternoon in a t-shirt and jeans, and people were looking at me like I had just escaped from a mental institution. 34 isn't so bad for a walk.

Daytona Beach is 41° now, with an expected overnight low around 28°.  The last time the weather was this cold here was in the middle of last January.  Fortunately, it won't last long.  I dislike heat, but I hate cold even more.  :)

If there were any people alive from the 1800's, they would laugh at us, seriously, you guys call this a cold spell? Yes, it's a big contrast to the weather we've all been seeing lately but this is nothing compared to what they got hundreds of years ago. I like to watch the local news and see the almanac for NYC and it's sad to see that today's cold spell can't even match the ones hundreds of years ago. The daily record low for the day in NYC is -4°F set in I believe 1876. Out of all the cold spells we've been getting over the past 20 years, not one has even came close. 2 things I blame it on is GW and the urban heat island effect. It's sad to see that this happening and that the govt. is taking no action to slow GW, they were supposed to put wind turbines some 10 miles off the ocean here for electricity production, but it was turned down, because we got the ignorance of the people who said "oh well it blocks our view", HELLO, these things are 10 miles away, you can't even see out that far. I thought it would be a great idea, since we get a lot of wind storms and they're well off in the ocean. I'm sorry to rant and post so much random stuff but this is what's on my mind. Crazy... :wacko:

It's 20 right now, the shore is supposed to go down to 16 as a low. I kinda don't mind the cold. Gives me more the reason to sit by the fireplace and have some nice hot chocolate.

Besides the view thing, those windmills are only good up to a certain point, and I can say this as a fact visiting a wind farm near Mayville, ND. Those windmills can't handle very high winds, and they're designed to shut down after the wind hits a certain speed. Generally, that speed stands at around 26 mph (I think that's the number I was told) or so for your standard windmill model.

"Cold spell" is also a relative term, and it's usually not used to compare a time period as far back as the 1800s. For this 365-day period, this is definitely a cold spell for the South. Granted, we're not as cold as back then, but we can still experience some pretty brutal lows nonetheless.
