I like the humidity. Feels nice against your skin.

Hmmm... I have to admit that I'm not impressed by your argument, Jimmy.

High of 93 degrees F, 46% humidity today.

About the same as KH in Baltimore, which is forecast to have a high of 93 degrees F and 43% humidity.

But please, if you want to talk about extreme temperatures, you guys would be pissing your pants in terror when it gets to -40C without the windchill up here in the winter.

In winter you can laugh at us, until then:





ACK!

I've faced that, though it was with wind chill. Here's the thing. Humans are tropical animals. We aren't made to live in the frozen north.

I should note, that 20% of Canadian visit Florida every year, and 1 out of 13 live here yearround, so heat and humidity can't be all that bad.

Drink water, lots of it. Don't use anti-perspirant, use single-action deodourant instead... and let your body regulate itself until you get used to the heat.

It was about 65F outside today and I found it mildly uncomfortable in sunnier spots.

This is how tolderant I have become to heat.

And by the way, KH has an A/C. Even if you don't use it, knowing that its there is a kind of psychological weapon against the heat.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to call complete and utter horseshit on those stats.

State of Florida estimates that 1.7 million Canadians visited in 2003. That's 5% of all Canadians.

Che probably got his fraction backwards - he might have heard "1 in 20" and thought he heard 20%. Or maybe he's just full of ****. You make the call!

I have no clue where he gets the "1 in 13 live here year round". The state of Florida also estimates about 219,000 person-visits of Canadian "snowbirds", which are people that spend all or part of winter down south. Of that, about 20% stay 91 days or more. That would be about 1 in 700 Canadians that spend a few months there, of which a much smaller subset would live there year round.

So, I'll go with full of ****.

Edit - got my math wrong. It's only one in 700, not 1 in 100.

There's inflated self-importance if I've ever seen it. There's no way it's that high.

All I know is lots of old folks go there, because it's a terrible state with nothing to do.

In Florida's defense, there's alot to see and do beyond the tourist traps. Its actually a beautiful state with lots of history.

But as for Che's comments, I don't care. I'm only a naturalized Canadian anyways, not by birth. I still say 20C+ temperatures are barbaric.

It is quite possible that the stats are skewed by repeat visits to Florida by Canadians in a given year. What is the source of the stats, the Florida Tourist Bureau or something?

My stats came from two sources: the Conference Board of Canada (?), and Visit Florida, the official marketing arm of the FL Commission on Tourism.
