At one point today, I sent two jobs to the big printer in the HR copy room. I immediately removed the warm pages from the tray and wrapped them around my arms.

Ahhh... warmth.

What the heck happened?! Last night I wore jeans and a 3/4 sleeve shirt outside. Tonight, when I took Beau to the alley for his last chance to do business before bed, I wore a long coat topped by a terrycloth bath robe for extra warmth! And I tucked behind the hedge to shield myself from the wind.

Holy freaking cow! Need I remind Mother Nature that this is FLORIDA!

(Come on, snow.)

It's even worse for my folks in Georgia just 4 1/2 hours away. When I spoke to them earlier tonight, they were piling logs next to the fireplace to keep it running. They'd already blanketed the well so it wouldn't freeze. (Yes, my folks have well water. No, my folks don't live in the BFE.)

At the current moment, the temperature in 34747 is 36 degrees with a feel-like temp of 27. This is FLORIDA! The temp is supposed to drop all the way to 31 with a feel-like temp of 20 before the night is out.

(Come on, snow.)

Hello? Mother Nature? This is freaking FLORIDA!

(Come on, snow.)

This is when I wish I had indoor parking like I did in Burbank. I could take the elevator down from my apartment to the parking garage beneath the building and walk right into a warm truck. Tomorrow, however, I'll leave my place and get into a cold car parked outside... and I live so close to work that the heat probably won't even have a chance to get hot!

(Come on, snow.)

I've been meaning to buy a space heater for my office (aka the frozen tundra). Dang it, now it's too cold to go shopping for one!

(Come on, snow.)

Do you think it might snow?
