at 1:00 p.m. it'll be 32 with a wind chill of 25. Summertime, relatively speaking.

Instead the natives make fun of the people from up North when they swim in the Gulf in February. It's far too cold to swim then! The water temperatures are only in the lower seventies and the air temperature may only make it to the mid-seventies! (Actual air temperature today was forecast to be 76 in St. Pete, FL. Water temperature just now is 69.)

Uncle cut a hole in the ice. Here in Texas it was 60 today so I played golf.
