Here’s wishing a Happy 2010 to everyone!
With some chilly weather headed to south Florida, one of my pet peeves will be in full force display.
Our local media has a silly tendency of exaggerating the temperatures, and our reaction to them. We’ll likely see reporters (most of who are not originally from south Florida) live in front of the big neon time/temperature board on top of the building on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, way overdressed for the temperature and telling everyone how “frigid” it’s going to get, along with reaction from locals and tourists telling us one of two things: 1) it’s really cold, and 2) it’s much colder in Michigan.
The reality (or at least my view of it) is that most locals don’t mind the colder weather one bit. I sure don’t. We enjoy the few days when it gets down into the lower 40s and highs barely reach 60 under crystal-clear blue skies. Up north, that’s fall weather.
So, south Floridians, get out there this weekend and enjoy. Looks like it’s going to last into much of next week, too.
