50's and cold... pfff... It's 18 degrees here and that's the warmest it's been all week!
Sorry, I feel for you all experiencing super cold weather.
I dont know how you guys do it. I see it on TV, all that snow.
My husband is originally from NY & we will probably never
take a wintery vacation. In Florida women break out the boots just to
be fashionable in 50 degree weather.

The coldest I've ever been was -20'sF snow-skiing in WV last year. They said the windchill was in the -40's…..I NEVER want to be that cold again! I'm FBB, Florida Bred and Born, haha.

It's usually like that for a few weeks every winter. I hate it!
While I do feel for you, I am so excited that we are going to be getting a 50 degree day. What one celebrates as a hot day, some of you are seeing as a horribly cold one. Heck I am celebrating us just finally getting back into a day time high above 32.

I'm with you Jacqui. Sounds like we are sharing the same temps. However, we are getting missed by all the snow, WOOHOO.
The wind chill here has been bone chilling. This weekend will feel like a heat wave, 40's

We are just barely hitting 70 every day over here. Blechhhh... Not good tortoise weather. Looking forward to some 80s again soon.
In was 101 in Tombouctou Africa today. All the wild sulcatas are hanging out underground waiting for the rains to return...
I'm from Colorado so I'm used to cold. I was skiing once in -60° weather. we quit after about an hour, went to the ski lodge and drink hot chocolate and Bailys the rest of the day.The coldest I've ever been was -20'sF snow-skiing in WV last year.

A cold snap??!! I would pay for "just a cold snap". I got excited last night cause the temp was going to be 45!! Here in Tennessee it's been cold and rainy, haven't seen the sun in a week or so. I can't wait to get moved to south Flordia, I will take a cold snap over 5 months of cold, rain, and gloom anytime. Lol. Of course I guess when your use to warmer weather a cold snap is a pain in the butt. Count yourself and your torts lucky, I can't wait till I move.
I'm in souther ca. And we only drop to the 40s sometimes the 30s that's rare. I keep my red foot outside even if the nights dip down in the 50s. She does fine and bask the next day to warm up. I use to take her in. But she seems to handle low night temps fairly well

Oh the sun, I had almost forgot what that looked like. We have had nothing but cold wet gloom. I can't wait to be a resident of south Flordia. Lol.

Well it dropped into the30/40's last night in central Florida. Considered hibernation. I consider the 50's freezing, and so do my tortoises. Even my box turtles dug in and disappeared yesterday. Everyone else is inside waiting for warmer weather to return. Maybe tomorrow....
