When we wake up tomorrow in Kingston Jamaica it will be the coldest day of the year

[malaise]

70°F. Sweaters will be everywhere.

1. Do you have leg warmers

and firewood?

[malaise]

3. To be honest I was wondering if I'd need leg warmers for our morning walk

Tomorrow night will be in the 60s in Kingston. We may actually close windows

On the other hand the temperature in Mandeville is already in the 60s and I have no doubt that fireplaces are lit. Seriously one of my cousin's had a fireplace in Mandeville. She sold the property a few years ago and moved to Ochi as her kids are all overseas and her hubby died.

2. Buy a Trumpy Bear to help keep you warm.

[malaise]

4. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

That would make me ill

[backtoblue]

5. That's it!

I'm moving to Jamaica. Unless there are huge snakes...

[malaise]

6. All snakes in Jamaica are harmless

I've never seen one

8. I battled a water moccasin last summer

It was scary and it slithered VERY fast up the stick I was holding. I screamed like a madwoman, dropped the stick and ran. We also have copper heads and rattle snakes. No maneating pythons though.
This hippy, country girl is plotting her escape!
Hope you have a great rest of your day!

[malaise]

10. Damn

I would have done the same. Don't migrate anywhere until you check out the state of health care. Ours has deteriorated significantly. If you have insurance and resources, you're fine - if not -Hmmmmmmmmm - lengthy waits are the order of the day.
Enjoy the evening.

7. Damn!

That's only 256 degrees above absolute zero on the kelvin scale. Stay safe!

[malaise]

11. Hehehehehhehe

The sky was as blue as ever.

13. I have a son who's an astronomer/physicist,

and every so often when I ask him a question about temperature, such as the temperature of brown dwarf stars, he'll answer by giving me the temperature in Kelvin. I always ask him to translate it to something I'll understand, preferably Fahrenheit, since I'n not good at Celsius.

And he's not even messing with me! He's quite serious and is always a bit surprised when the Kelvin isn't meaningful to me.

But he is good about patiently answering all of my many questions about everything.

[malaise]

15. We actually use Celsius here

Your son is clearly light years ahead of our understanding

[handmade34]

9. ok

I will calling my son to tease him (assuming they may be getting that cold spell as well)... he and girlfriend are rebuilding in U.S. Virgin Islands until the end of this month... he often calls just to tell me he is headed to work in shorts and will be at the beach later

hey, stay warm


**we still have 3 foot piles of snow in the yard

[malaise]

12. It's the cold front that hit your states that's now reaching us

in the Caribbean. The Virgins will also get a touch and some rain as well. The beach is always a nice after work break in those smaller islands. Must be in the 50s in the Bahamas and parts of Cuba. I can see the Bahamians in their winter coats


After this it will heat up fast.

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. We have a temp. phase that folks here call "airish"

It's in late spring/early summer when the temps drop from high 70's/low 80's, down to low 70's,
and you put on a light shawl, 'cause "it feels a mite airish" but you do not want to go into the house yet if you are sitting on the deck.

As opposed to real summer when no one sits outside, too hot, too many bugs.

[Vinca]

16. That was mean, Malaise. Really, really mean.

We got news there's another Nor'easter headed our way on Wednesday. I hate March. We get teasers of spring and then a pile of snow. It seems neverending.

[malaise]

17. Just saw that from a DUer

Stay safe - we'll be freezing tonight in the high 60s

[spanone]

18. poor folks....we'll be sending blankets!

[malaise]

19. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[MineralMan]

20. Just crank up the furnace. That's what I do.

Set the thermostat to 80°. Stay comfortable.

[malaise]

21. Furnace

Never seen one in Kingston

[Greybnk48]

22. We just recently had a day where we hit in the low 50's ℉.

AND the sun was out! Lots of people running around with no coats on, some in shirt sleeves by afternoon! People out riding bikes, lolol! Appleton, Wi, just south of Green Bay.

[malaise]

23. Everything is relative

I remember back in the 70s I went to Denmark for the birth of a nephew.
My big sister's is law decided to take me to a beach - it was early October. I had on my winter coat - she had on her bikini. I didn't go near the freezing water.
Enjoy the Appleton.
