 I know I know-- I live in Florida --- but it is cold here today. It was 29 when I got up this morning and it is still only 58!

That is freezing for me. How do you gals up north keep warm-- I need some ideas

 Single digits here tonight.

 It's pretty cold here today...not sure of the temp..but with the wind...it's bad!  I wear tons of layers to stay warm!!

 I know it is COOOLD! I ahve to run 18 miles in this cold on Friday! Not looking forward to it... I have gotten spoiled living in CT, it is just a little bit warmer than living in Buffalo!

Freaking cold here in Nor Cal too. 

 Okay the weather is backwards......in the 70's today in Oklahoma

 How do they keep warm???  THEY have winter clothes, heaters...all kinds of stuff.  Our "winters" aren't worth investing in stuff like that.  I was freezing most of the day today also but loving it.....it's gonna be hot next week......lol

 21 degrees for me when I got up, went to 39 though....

 Stop your whining!  You haven't had cold until it's -20 with a -40 wind chill.  Loooooove MN!   Kidding (though I do hate MN). 

Wear shoes and socks all day (keeps my feet warm) and we live and die by polar fleece blankets here.  We have at least 8 between the four of us...even the dog has one.

Sounds like a good day for hot chocolate, spiced cider, tea, coffee...

I actually have these microwavable "warmers" that are AWESOME!  Of course, you would have no need for them in Florida, but we keep our winter thermostat set to 60 degrees at night/workday and 66 degrees when we're home.  FRRRRREEZES me out!!!

 It was a high of 35 here today and it was sooo much fun working outside in that weather all day long.  I think I had five layers of cloths on.

 Layered clothes! I love when it gets cold! I get to wear my heavy sweaters and cool autumn boots :)

 It's 24 degrees right now. Only got into the 30's today. COLD!! We just got a pellet stove a month ago, cpl weeks ago... something like that, lol,  and it has helped. So as long as I stay inside I am good, lol.

I am so ready to migrate. I know it's nothing like up north and out west where we are, but it's super cold to me!

 It was brutal here today!! If it wasn't cold enough...add the wind. BRRRR
We have slippers and wear them all day long. That keeps our feetsies pretty warm...which keeps the rest of me warm.

 my ds wears cuddle dud long underwear, then a turtle neck, then a sweatshirt -

I always snuggle with a throw on my legs -

 It has been very cold here. I have been dressing in many layers for work.

 Wow!  That's colder than here!  It's still 51 now (10 pm).

Anyway, I have fuzzy socks and a bathrobe!  dh likes the cold, so we usu. have the heat set to 64-65 in here.  And if you're not moving around it can get a little chilly.

 i love cooler weather, not the 80+ degrees here,
 but am glad we might be gettin' some rain next
 week before Thanksgiving... just not the same
 baking for hours in the heat, ya know?  it's ugh!

 as for keeping warm, i love fleece too, so soft
 and cozy, but most of the time it is my hands
 that get cold while on the 'puter, so if you are
 like me, you'd love those fingerless gloves too!

 I'm with you, I'm freezing this morning. It's been so long since I've been up north during the winter, that I can't truly appreciate how "warm" it actually is here in Florida compared to up north.
