Re: the weather is too f`ing hot everyday,in the 80`s! This is winter? In Chicago, we had one week of Winter in early December. Since then it's mostly been in the 50's. I've had the top down in my convertible on a couple of Sunny low 60 degree days. Fun, but I'm worried that if it stays like this we'll start having problems with things like termites that are normally killed off here during hard freezes. A little winter can be a very good thing to have....

I agree it is much warmer here than even five years ago.. Keep the a/c on 24/7 all winter with nights rarely getting below 70.. even went into the ocean for a while today. This seems more like mid March than early January.. Seems much more distressed on the SW coast and up towards Pt St Lucie.. Still can't figure out the the hell all these people are doing with these empty new condos all over our fair state. Nothing has changed since many of them were completed a 6-12 months ago. They just sit empty (i'd venture to say 70-80%), holding costs are incredible, asking prices are very high and many aren't even for rent or sale.. Seems many hoping to get bailed out at mid 2005 prices this winter season?
