How cold it is in winter in your hometown

It's in the low 30s with a wind chill dropping it down to the mid to low 20s here in NYC.

Its get pretty darn cold in New England - but we still wear skirts. We just don't hang outside in them.

Tonight’s temp is forecast in our area of western coast of So. FL for it to be a chilly 63 deg F. The lows in this next week will be 52 deg at the lowest. Don’t feel bad for us, though. We do wear socks some nights. Very infrequently it gets to get below 40 - 45 deg but it’s not for long. Ne dress to say, it rarely snows. When it does snow, it’s only a trace and it doesn’t stick at all.

I'm also in NYC, and it's nippy. If we feel like wearing skirts, we wear skirts, regardless of the temperature.

Its 27 here. I used to wear skirts but the guys made so much fun of me i quit wearing them.

what happened to all the Fla oranges this yar??? ALL we have in the "orange Car" Holiday Citru markets are these crappy sor Calif oranges and Chilean Oranges that taste like vinegar.
Why is it that in Clif nd S America they pick the oranges green and then just gs em to ripen on the trains???

They (Cl or Chilean fruits) dont ever get real sweet like the Fl or S Texas Oranges. S Texas oranges have often gotten sold TO Californians in the bogus tale that they were Cal oranges.

We know enough not to buy Calif STrawberries because they taste like the boxes they come in, but people still buy the Cal Oranges,

PISSES ME OFF!!!
Sorryfor butin into this thred but its the only place I could think of.

Do you have access to local seasonal fruit? I wish I did!

I used to eat lots of strawberries, but I can't find good ones anymore. With oranges, it's hit and miss.

we sprt of do, the international markets in such things as citrus makes it more profitable to ship green fruit by weight rather than search for quality.
At least FLA citrus is picked only after it begins to show ripening, that way th ripning imparts the normal sweet citrus flavor for which florida citrus has becom famous for. California ships totally green fruit that is gassed with ethylene to START ripening. This manner of shipping always gives second quality fruit.
California COULDif it wanted to, do the same thing as florida growers and pick and ship a wee bit after the ripening has actually begun.

btw, weve had a moderate start of the cold season. Today its 50 (F) and the rest of the week will have highs in the upper 40's according to the weather channel

My SoCal oranges are sweet and juicy - fresh from the tree!
Most of our oranges here in California are as good as the Floridian ones..
so don't mock us.
Our strawberries are only good when bought directly from the farms, otherwise forget it.

When I lived in an orange grove in Lindsay, California, the oranges were great.

Sorry Calmity. The oranges they pick for our eastern market are crap and what we get here in the east tastes like vinegar fruit. I too had an orange tree when I lived in Calif and our oranges were delicious but we could leave the oranges on the tree to RIPEN FULLY. They dont do that for market shipping, They sell their oranges by weight, not flavor (that means picke em green and ripen them in transit). Its a real shame cause Californians could have a great product if they took more care and thought more of the customer.
Valencia (juice) oranges will be coming in soon and Fla always has enough of them. Their only problem is that they are small and loaded with seeds.
The reason IM bitchin is that, because of several really baaadass winter storms, hurricanes and citrus disease, the Fla crops have been decimated (with even greater losses in the Indian River Farms).
As the climate changes this early cold snap will continue.(As the climate warms up, these early freezes can more easily occur because the ARctic Blasts and cold fronts just scoot across the N and West because the rivers and lakes arent frozen. Its counterintuitive but global warming causes cold snaps too.

Our strawberries, grown locally are superior to market berries for the same reason.

In my country it is not cold at all. Approximately 18 degrees above zero.

Well, the only thing I can do is to give you thumb up

wow,that is very suitable weather for me

Warm enough for a quick swim.
