Not gonna happen. I don't sit in the sun enough for that to happen - it's too hot

let's take up a winter clothing drive for catbox!

Hooray! Only 68 today!!

catbox, you are not a true tropical person! Most people in warm areas complain when it is 60-70 degrees as being too cold!

Wish it could be 68 all summer long, especially for Tigers Home Games.

Yeah they do. Just today I'm walking back from class and there's some girl with a scarf, heavy jacket, beanie, mittens, and an umbrella. It's not that cold!

What's the umbrella for? It hasn't rained in 2 weeks and there's no rain in the forecast.

We had the same thing in Florida. They say your blood gets thinner in the hotter climates and cooler weather feels cold to people there. I was in Florida 13 years and I still felt 65 was warm, not cold. When I moved back to the north I loved the colder weather. Only difference is I have arthritis now and the cold does effect that! Darn it!

I had pretty mild winters in California. We were in the Sierra foothills in miner country...got down to freezing a few nights and snow maybe stuck around til noon one day the entire winter. We wuz spoiled! I like the 4 seaons too...one of the reasons we moved back.

I'm used to the CA winters where I'm from in CA. There we gets highs in the 50s and overnight lows in the low 20s. Here in LA it's more like upper 50s for the low and even the coldest of days usually get to 60.

Every morning there was frost on the ground back home. Here it's just dew.

I have seen people wear jackets and sweatshirts when it is 70-75 degrees at Comerica!


And they weren't old people either!

18 degrees right now; 32 degrees this afternoon; Snow Showers tonight low 27; Friday; Snow Showers early; temps steady around 25 in the morning, then falling to the low 20s during the afternoon; 25 on Saturday and 33 on Sunday with A chance of snow or rain- snow mix

probably because of the breeze!

Nope! Wasn't windy or rainy!

hmmm...must have a low basal metabolic rate. Some people are eternally cold even in summer. Wish I had that problem!

I think I am getting that way. I'm always freezing nowadays, even when the thermostat says 70

My hands and feet are always that way except on very hot summer days.

I keep turning the thermostat up The man gets angry and tells me to put on more socks

Wear black ones - they'll retain heat better.
