🧑‍🤝‍🧑 / 🏡 ⛈ The weather thread. The south braces for the weekend cold

[sean]

Currently 40 where I am; supposed to go down to 25 tonight. I'll sleep pretty good for a change. I can hardly sleep with it's hot (hot to me is anything above 65). If it's cold, I can sleep like a dead person. But if it's hot, I'll start sweating and I'll toss and turn all damn night; and that's with 2 fans going on high (ceiling fan and floor fan blowing directly on me). But even when it's cold, I'll have the ceiling fan on low just to circulate the air. But I'll happy in the bed getting some much-needed sleep.

The fan on the outside unit is moving..front moving in. I smell pine in the air, not salt. It's about to get cold.

Front coming through here too, high of only 68 Wednesday and Thursday, may have to break out a long sleeve....

Keep the air 65 ish and a fan on every night.

The image caught my eye; the comment about a hurricane caught my attention. It doesn't appear he's seen hurricane damage.

@Krimson ...reminds me of driving out to one of the Islands here. A lot of two lane.

It might be cold but there's little traffic out today (because it's cold.)

That’s what happens when there’s only one way to get there (and only one way out).

Locals refer to this as hell week. We avoid downtown because of the influx of morons who come to see how much they can drink in a week. Can't drive, act stupid, and way too many of them.

It's usually not bad unless there's a wreck or it's around a holiday. Nothing you can do about the wrecks but we come before the holidays and leave after busy season.

That's pretty much my mom, right there. She said a few minutes ago, "OK! I'm tired of the cold weather. I want the warm weather back."

I said, "Don't worry. You only have 2 more months of it then it'll be spring for a couple weeks then summer for 5 1/2 months."

Tourists didn’t cause the geographic limitations of road building in the Keys. Tourists just exposed the limitations.

Tourists are the ones that created the mess we're talking about here. It's not "geographical limitations." It's population driven infrastructure overwhelmed by people who should have stayed home. That's been confirmed by Krimson.

With the exception of the age of the vehicles, if I were to show you a picture of the roads leading out to islands like Kiawah during an event? You wouldn't be able to tell the difference in that video I posted and the image: and it was tourists then as well (PGA event.)

When you are around them enough you know them by sight. Or sound. Or smell. It's funny as hell watching a snow bird talking to a local who speaks with a Geechie accent.

In many markets when traffic is a mess they will build a better road. They can’t do that in the Keys due to the narrow strip of land available (and the homes and businesses located on that narrow strip of land). No room and no money means no improvement.

How I fell is still post 93 of 98 on here!

They don't need to if it handles the locals. I'm sure there are areas which would require quite a bit of work.

This disaster is purely man made by an invading species.

Wish they'd put a cap on them and get the cruise ships outta here too but I'm sure the local economy feels differently.

Main reason I want a sailboat, get to some islands with no roads and no major airports.
