Today is a brrrrrr day in Florida. All day I have been freezing. My hands were so cold I could hardly type. I am warm at last. I made a giant mug of hot chocolate and just held it in my hands until I could feel my fingers. Drinking it warmed me up inside too. How do you get warm on a cold, miserable day?

Anything hot will probably help. I bought a large can of chocolate mix so I have plenty for the cold weather. I hope it will not last a long time. I got up late today so I don't blame you for getting into bed.

@Nevena83 I do too but only drink it when it is cold out.

Quilt and heating pad when I have been outside. How cold is it there? It was in the teens here this morning and now only in the 30s in TN.

It was in the 30s in our neck of the woods. But that is cold when it was 90F a few days ago. I do not do well when it is cold. I don't have a heating pad, the one I had gave up a while back.

@CarolDM yes it is. The good news is that it does not stay that way for months like it does in the east.

It is cold. In NY where my kids are, it has been snowing and bitterly cold. The cold filters down south with the jet stream.

@andriaperry I have that problem too but the cold hands are the worst. It makes it hard for me to do anything.

They are rare here. I just wear a sweatshirt and maybe drink a cup of hot chocolate.

I know that parts of California are warm. It sounds like it gets cold now and then, though. I lived in San Francisco where it was cold a lot. But I was young then and did not feel the cold like I do now.

Now there's a thought. I don't drink coffee but some soup would be good for dinner.

I was lucky, I had a fireplace in my home in Florida. My little house would warm right up. It was too bad I couldn't use it that often!

@Jeanniemaries We do that a lot in Florida. It is cold in the morning so we load up with layer after layer. As it warms up, we peel layers off.

@akalinus I also love hot chocolate any time of the year. I always thought that people go to Florida in the winter because it is warm. Are there certain parts of Florida that are warm and other parts that are not?

It is usually not this cold for this long. Florida can get cold when the jet stream brings it down from the north.

@Hannihar Most of the year, Florida is hot or at least mild. Sometimes it gets cold from the northern temperatures plunging down. When it is warm or hot most of the time, people feel the cold more intensely.

@akalinus That is very interesting. I guess I do not know that much about Florida weather. I just know that people that live in the States that want to get away from winter there and there are also people here that want to get away from winter here go to Florida. Here lots of people to to Eliat, which is a city in the South that is warm this time of year.

I just have a heater. It is hot here most of the year. I only need the heater for a few months and not every day of that.

I have fingerless gloves and find I can type quite well with them so I often wear them when it's really cold.
