I don't mind the snow...it does warm a bit after a snow fall..but its this none stop cold..the house never has time to warm up...I've near enough used up all my winter wood..most years I have a good amount left..

I would of loved snow in the UK when I had my sled dogs...they only saw snow twice...one dog was a puppy at the time and it scared her I had to go out and carry her indoors from her kennel..then she learned how to make snowballs and I could not get her in..she would make a hole in the snow and sleep there all night like she was born in Alaska or something...[msnsmile2]

It's looking like the weather will be just fine [msncool]for next week.

We have packed just an extra jumper each and are now all set.

I will have lots of photos and of course a trip report to share with everyone when we return.

2 more sleeps til we get ourselves off to the Radisson at Manchester airport for the night. Friday sees us off to the sunshine state![sporty]

It is worth mentioning that the temperature quoted e.g. 'mid 60's' is the maximum temperature during the day - normally mid afternoon.

At this time of year when it is bright and sunny the temperature drops off quickly and it is cold at night(the next few nights are in the 30's) so mornings are not shorts and T shirt weather.

We are here at the moment and it has been raining most of the day getting dark the time is 5 .20 pm and it only goes dark 6 . 15 pm .
Hope it picks up later this week

Unfortunately the forecast for the next week is not warm at all. We have been following it carefully as we leave for UK next Wednesday after a 6 week stay with very few warm days. It has just got to get warmer soon..........[msnoo] I have only worn shorts a couple of times and once was when we went on a cruise to Mexico a couple of weeks ago.[msncry][msncry] Never mind, back in April for another 6 weeks - it's got to have heated up by then[bowwave]

The average summer temperature during a UK summer is around 70 degrees but it stays around that level for many hours a day. You will not find Orlando in February to be anything like a British summer but it will be very much warmer than a British February!

Have a great time.

I remember being in FL one year and it was colder than MA for a few days and MA was under a few feet of snow..my family found it very funny...the weather is bad all over..we have a storm coming its snowing now..not much snow expected maybe a foot ...we have been lucky so far and most of the bad storms have missed us this year..it would be nice to be warm for a few weeks..we are in FL on the 24th..we are placing a new fireplace in the bedroom but not sure I want to be using it...[msnscared]

Is this weather Florida is experiencing right now normal for February? We go in just over 4 weeks and I have started packing shorts t-shirts etc, I just hope I haven't got to take them out and replace them with Jeans and jumpers! Also, if its glum weather will the water parks be open? Only I was told if its too bad they shut them.

I think the weather is unusually cold and within 4 weeks it can very easily improve. HArd to say but you'll probably be fine.

This winter so far has been really cold and the week ahead is very poor according to the forcasts.

The statistics below for March give you a good indication of the range of temperatures you should get i.e. Afternoon highs in the high 70's, lows at night in the mid fifties.

However the possible variations are enormous low 90's to a frost at night.

Sorry about the formatting, but for March 1st

1 = 53F 2 = 76F 3 = 36F 4 = 86F
