For all of u liveing up were it gets cold...I figured you would get a chuckel out of this artical in my local newspaper today....the TV news has been reminding people to bring in Pets and plants...and Frost warnings are big news around here....I always felt it made us look kinda wimpy


Looks like another chilling night in Brevard

Temperature may drop to 45 degrees

Hopefully, Santa Claus left plenty of skin-warming sweaters, coats and flannel shirts beneath Brevard County trees this Christmas.

Temperatures were expected to sink to a goosebump-inducing 40 degrees last night under clear, cloudless skies.

That represents Brevard County's coldest snap since
Feb. 13, when the mercury hit 38 degrees, said Peggy Glitto, a meteorologist at Melbourne's National Weather Service station.

The shivery streak continues: Forecasters predict temperatures will drop to a chilly 45 degrees tonight.

"We had a cold front move through (Sunday), and now high pressure's building behind the front," Glitto said. "It's a colder, drier air mass."

She said more-moderate weather will warm things up later this week.

The National Weather Service calls for highs of 74 degrees Wednesday and Thursday and 71 degrees Friday with predominantly sunny skies. Overnight lows should climb to 56 degrees Wednesday, 50 degrees Thursday and 51 degrees Friday.

Brevard County's low-temperature record for Dec. 27 is 29 degrees, set in 1993. The record low for the day after Christmas is 23 degrees, set in 1983.

We had some nasty weather last week, was on a roof for quite some time, I think the wind chill was in the single digits. So it warmed up to the high 30's, low 40's recently. I saw guys in shorts and tee shirts out shopping.
It's all what you are used to.

We had about 45 last friday, I had a couple of windows open to get fresh air while I was cleaning the house,

While I was out getting Christmas dinner, and other odd and ends.. had the car windows down.. Washed the car too!

Even thought we have been having nice weather. I was thinking time morning. It is just cold enough so that I have to scrap the wind sheild everyday before driving off to work.

A long time ago.

Every dog I have ever had sleeps outside after about the first six months of life.

I have built solid, heavily insulated, off the ground dog houses that surpass the one I live in. Winter and Summer, they have a raised platform near the doghouse if they want to stay in the sunlight. The platform and doghouses have thick carpeting that is easily removable and I maintain about 6 replacements so that they could always have clean dry carpeting while the previous piece is being washed and dried.

When I am out of the house, the dogs come into the rear hallway and family room to protect my parents, otherwise they are outside, except for the winter baths when I keep them indoors overnight to dry out well.

Brittiany Spaniels, and German Shepards are the only breed of dogs I have owned and I would never have a dog in this climate that could not tolerate this climate.

Since I put my last German Shepard down about 15 years ago, I have not had another dog as the joy of companionship just can't make up for standing there and holding them when you put them down for the last time.
