21 Things Floridians Say About Winter

Facebook Tweet
Dakota Connell-Ledwon   February 23, 2015

As a Floridian, your first winter in the North can be traumatizing. There were days when I was convinced that I was a cold-blooded reptile and the absence of the sun meant a slow, agonizing death. People from the South are largely unprepared for “real” winter. Here are some thoughts you’ll probably have as you struggle to survive in the cold, barren Northeast wasteland that is so different from your lush, humid homeland.

1. Winter clothes…? You mean cute sweaters, right?
