It's 45F/7.2C in my office at just past midnight. I'm wearing layers upon layers, including my coat and I'm doing my best to type in gloves

Oh, hon. You definitely have my sympathies. Corgiguy and I once lived in a little house that was essentially a wooden tent and the only way I could keep warm during temps in the teens was to turn the oven to 500 F., open the door and put my feet on it. We could practically hear the CHA-CHING! as the electric meter spun.
Humming like crazy! *crosses fingers for battery health*
It's snowing here again, and freezing rain is predicted for tonight. I've been lashing the horses all day to get ahead in case I can't make it to work tomorrow.
Oh YUCK! I know I get seriously cranky when our temps exceed my comfort zone in either direction. I can't imagine what it's like to be freezing in Florida.
There IS a certain amount of "Wait a minute, this is Florida, it's not supposed to get cold here!" With heat, you kind of expect it. You get used to the heat index (the summer equivalent of wind chill), where the temp is 94 but it feels like 104 because of the humidity. It's not fun, but at least you can take cold showers. At the moment, I've been in the same clothes since Sunday, and I'm not taking them off until I can immerse myself. Good thing I'm not sweating, huh?
At least with Florida heat, there are no surprises- we know what to expect. This cold and bitter wind just shakes me to the bone...my skin doesn't appreciate it, either!
I don't know where they're getting "warmer and wetter" from---our drought index is so bad that half the state is in the red for fire conditions. Don't anybody light a match!
Although "sneaux" was amusing, I've got to admit. As long as we don't see it here!
There was one day this week that Georgia had every weather alert condition I'd ever seen covered by different areas of the state: fire, high wind, winter weather, flooding, you name it.
Although I'd never become a Christian Scientist (me likes modern medicine just fine, thank you), they do a bang-up job of reporting. That was the first time I'd seen an explanation of why we were all suddenly living in the Deep Freeze instead of the Deep South.

The charger is hooked up to my battery, and I'm praying---feel free to hum along---that I don't need a new one.

The reason why it's so cold: The Greenland Block.
