Thanks to an arctic blast moving into the South from God knows where, the State of Florida is experiencing record cold temperatures. Today, the high temperature in Stuart, Florida, where my sister Susan and I own a condo, will be 46 degrees, with a low of 31, compared with a high today here in Denver of 62 degrees and a low of 33. Tomorrow, both cities are forecast to have a high of 57. And so, while Denver is experiencing springlike weather and many people are wearing shorts, although also complaining about a lack of snow, down in Stuart the locals are bundled up in parkas and complaining about the bitter cold. I suspect not even the snowbirds, down there for the season, will be wearing their speedos and bikinis for the next few days, although it would be a great source of amusement for the natives if they did. I am just glad that Susan and I decided to head up to Denver from Stuart for a few months to get out of that cold Florida weather. And by the way, I took the photograph above on Stuart Beach this past December, right before we headed back to Denver. As you can see, it wasn't exactly beach weather back then, either. Even paradise can have cold snaps, although if you go there in August, you stand a good chance of staying warm. Until you head into the grocery store, of course, which they keep at a steady 32 degrees year-round.
