It's a very chilly 68 degrees in Miami right now! Be thankful you are not in northern Florida.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Temps have been in the teens the last few nights. Hopefully not a preview of the rest of winter.

I wonder how this cold will affect fauna and flora in areas that typically don't see these temps? It was 24F when I woke up in College Station this morning! :wow:

Way too cold here. It was 32F when I got up this morning and they are predicting a little colder tonight and tomorrow morning.
Only going to hit a high of 52F. Too cold to drive with the top down. That sucks.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

24F right now with a stiff wind making the wind chill around 8. I am about to go out and scrape the inch or two of snow off of the walkways and I will hate every second.
Tonight the temp is predicted to drop to 8F with 20mph winds. Even my dogs are not happy, not to mention myself.

I suppose it does suck for those of you in the south. I'm in northern IN and we haven't been higher than 17F for a high for at least two weeks. Our average high for last week was about 4F with wind chills averaging -15F. On Tuesday (2 Jan) when I went to work at 0530 the actual temp was -11F with a -30F wind chill. On that day we were colder than the North Pole, Antarctica, Reykjavik Iceland and Fairbanks Alaska. Watching my local news they keep throwing out forecasts for "brutal winter temps with wind chills in the -teens"...and now it's like, yeah...what's different than the previous 7 days...lol. It was 8F yesterday with a -15 wind chill and I started thinking it wasn't so bad...twice as warm as the day before...lol. Working all day on a flight line all week...wintry fun! Not really...lol.  Current temp at 02:40 Saturday morning...1F and -6 wind chill. Supposed to get up to a balmy 30F on Sunday...I might wear shorts!

So Hag...
How does this jibe with your "OMG..Global warming causes Gargantuan Hurricanes that eat cities" previous environmental wizardry?
Me? I had free ice in my rainwater bucket that I collect for painting. I proceeded to make use of this windfall to make a Green masterpiece:
1 Big fat pickle jar
3 lime wedges
A couple of big fat shots of Bacardi Black
and last , but not least....
A splash of Vanilla Coke.
Trust me, the best Rum and Coke you will ever have.
Censored
Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet.
I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

Having lived in Alaska, Montana, Germany, and Washington State, I have to say that the South is absolutely miserable when it gets cold here.
Much like the heat, it's the humidity. 35 degrees with 60% humidity just cuts through a person, and while bundling up helps, it only helps. Heck, 45 degrees with 70% humidity is about as miserable as one can get.
When it dips below freezing, there's no humidity in the air. Clothes insulate better, and it's actually easier to deal with.
