Actually the saying is "A great place to be from but you don't want to live there." Fixed it for ya. Your right about the "freezing your *** off" part though.
Wow! Didn't realize it was that warm in FL right now!
LOL............just brought my club on a long ride and NO ONE. NONE of us checked the temps'. Luckily we all had our gear and extra since we had a new guy with us and he had NO gear with him.
Odd.........it has been in the 90's recently and then tonight dropping until 53 degrees. I can tell u 1 person who is going to sleep in tomorrow morning.
I can't remember the last time it was cold enough to wear a kacket in late December.
When I moved here 30+ yrs ago, you would always wear a light jacket in late December.
But they say there is no global warming so I must be wrong. NOT. It definitely been getting warmer around these here parts.

Last time I went to Daytona Bike Week (March) was 11-12 years ago. We rode thru some snow in Alabama on the way there. Then, while in Florida, it wasn't cold, but it was not hot either...probably in the 70's the entire week.

Right my friend. Every once in a while there is an anomaly. Having lived here full time for 30+ years, only like the 1st decade there was a cycle. A reasonably reliable cycle.
In the last few decades or so, that cycle is gone. Yes, the odd cold will hit here likely due to activity coming from the NW of us as high as Canada I think it is but it is the normal cycle that I was really referring to.
I hope when you were here in Daytona and going thru the Alabama snow, u had the right gear.
I was in Florida for Christmas in 1969, used the air conditioner in the car. Would have been comfy on a bike though, doesn't get the solar warming a car does. Probably high 70's, was nice just walking around. Was there another year on a motorcycle, wore a bluejean jacket at night a couple times. Think that was in March. About this time, when there's a fairly big snowstorm supposed to start tonight. Another time was there in a Triumph Spitfire (car), and the weather was just perfect. I don't remember if this was one of those crushed seashell roads, looks like it could be. Was in one of the state parks.

That was before we started using electric jacket liners...I was layered up pretty good and ok...Mary had everything on she had with her...but still very cold! We stopped a bit after dark...next morning it was dry and warmer, all good.
Beautiful day here today. 70* and sunny. This evening and tomorrow, more rain and storms.
Went for a 150 mile putt, all back roads.
Stopped by the dealership to pick up some stuff.
Bungee job to get the box home. lol
Perfect afternoon ride!
