Wow, Really?

Weather in FL.

Wow, Really?

Samantha Rowe 11 Dec 2012 12:29

Since yesterday, here in FL, we've been having thunderstorms. Some people on Facebook are talking about how it's "weird". Um, we're the lightning capital of the U.S., and there is a front stalling over the panhandle. We had a really wet winter a couple of years ago, but everyone seems to forget that.

Edit: I apparently can't type on my phone.

Because we are close to December 21st, any natural phenomenon, as simple as a storm, is considered "a sign of the end". ;-)

I miss snow :-( My husband and kids have never seen it.

I've never seen it either. But that is good for one side. If it snowed where we live, it would mean something really bad is going on in this planet. ;-)

Lol. I'm from North Jersey, pretty much where it borders NY state. We always had snow during the winter. I moved here when I was 17 and wish I had the money to go back. I hate this heat!

Seriously. It's not extremely common to get storms like this in the winter…this is more August-type weather. However, a cold front stalling just to the north of us almost always causes storms. Not to mentiom, the average rainfall here is almost 2 inches in December.

We´ve got 2,5 meters (european) I really dont know what it is in inches, this last week, 30 centimeters yesterday morning only. Talk about white Christmas this year.

Sometimes rainfall goes above average. Things like that happen everytime, including in my city. When a storm happens here, it's often half of the rainfall predicted for an entire month. :-D

COME ON florida gets more thunderstorms than almost any other state. Personally i think you should remove anyone that is panicking off of your friends list or at least give em a good talking to to get them back to their senses.

Samantha Rowe can we trade? I'm stuck in north jersey and I want to move to Florida!!!!! You might not see snow here anymore tho it's been really warm lol. It snowed last month tho. And I'm sure once January hits it'll get colder. But yeah..I wanna leave here and move to Florida. Not sure it would be a good career move for me tho as a hair dresser I already have a clientele where I live, don't wanna start over! (even tho I'd probably be super busy I hear Florida hairdressers are the worst!)

Re: Wow, Really?

Samantha Rowe 11 Dec 2012 21:55

Haha, I would love to! However, the economy down here is HORRIBLE. I wouldn't make the move, especially if you already have a clientele.

S Florida here, I live about an hour and half away from Miami. Basically, like you said, it's a coldfront. And people are just being paranoid. This Is Florida! Like my coach says, Florida's weather changes every few minutes :P we'll be fine, it's just people making something out of nothing :)

NO! O_o
Man, it's been raining over here in England. Very unusual!!!

Doomsayers are amusing :P
we have on in town, he makes me laugh. One of the things he said was.
"Listen to this ma friend, One of your kids ask your for £10, you say. I don't have any money, I'm not giving you any money"

No seriously, that was it :') No point to it or anything. He then went back on to how prophets and all that crap are coming here to warn us about some impending doom bla bla, I lost interest and carried on the H&M -_-

MAN i'm wondering off topic so badly here O_o

When did God say "It doesn't rain in Florida :P?" In SC, weather has been CRAPPY, but that's mother nature ;).
