Acclimation, people
Or as they say in the Army, acclimatization. People acclimate to their environments. South Florida people don’t withstand cold any more than Scandinavians withstand heat. There’s no reason for derision.
I’ve lived in some freaking cold places, I’ve run around in the snow in shirt sleeves, but I’ve acclimatized. It may be the 50s but it’s freaking cold to someone who’s used to steaming all the time.

I keep trying to tell my Illinois and Kansas based friends and family that I’m freezing. They don’t seem to believe me. It was 43 freaking degrees the other morning, and I was an ice cube. In fact, I was miserable! “But how can that be? That’s not all that cold. You’re from Kansas dear.”
Well yes, I may have originated in Kansas, but my heart, AND my blood, is pure Floridian!
oh, good lord, tell me about it! Im bundled
i’m a native Floridian, born and raised, and i LOVE when it gets cold down here. sure, anything under 55 and i’m freezing, but it’s nice to deviate from roasting. i cant wait to move to central Florida where there’s a 10-20 degree difference in temperature year round.
