The NWS issued a wind chill warning for Melbourne FL last week. It
was so "cold" I could actually see my breath! :-)It was horrible! I had to wear a long sleeve shirt and put the top up on my

roadster for my morning commute. ;-)

NWS has issued another severe weather alert for MLB and vicinity for tonight
and tomorrow night. Forecast is for 42 tonight with wind-chill in the mid
30s. Looks like I might need a jacket in the morning.

Like the time a few years ago, that my family and I visited Orlando
(had to do the Disney/ Universal thing,) and the hotel we stayed at on
Disney property had a sign posted at the pool, "pool closed due to
cold weather no life guard on duty" the day we arrived - we had come
from Minnesota where it was winter when we departed (I remember the
DC-10 we were on having to go back for a second de-ice,) due to the
"cold." IIRC, it was about 50-55 F with little wind and clear skies.
We went swimming anyway and of course got branded as being from
Minnesota right away by passers by.

But then, my late uncle, who lived in Rockledge, east of Orlando - on
the coast, would always wear his jacket when he came to visit us up
north, even in August.

We had ~44 F in central MN last Friday, followed by 2 F the next day.
Wish it would make up its mind.
