60 Degree Weather

You know you have been living in an area of semi-tropical weather for more than a few years when the temperature is 60 degrees and you think it's chilly enough for a sweater.

As someone from the northeast who used to visit Myrtle Beach, South Carolina throughout the year I can remember never putting on a sweater or jacket.  Even in January, which is typically the coldest temperatures, we northerners would be out in shorts looking at those in jackets as they looked at us.   Well, a few nights ago it felt like the temperature was in the 40s but it was 60 degrees.

When I heard about the record October snow that hit the northeastern states I remembered what cold weather really feels like and I will not complain again.
