7 Bizarre Things Floridians Do During A Cold Front & Northerners Will Never Understand

Floridians put on a puffer jacket in 50 degree weather.

Don't be alarmed, Northerners. Locals are just taking the cobb webs off their winter clothes in the back of their closets for the next few days. After all, these are the only acceptable times to see them in long puffy jackets and boots!

To those who come from colder states, 50 degrees is nearly Summer weather. For people who are used to it being 80 degrees year round — and considering that's how hot it was yesterday — this dip in temperature is goose-bump chilling for residents.

Question their car's tire pressure.

A lot of times, when the weather drops, so does the pressure in your tires. It might be confusing to some Floridians to not be alarmed when they turn their car on and see that bright orange exclamation point illuminate on their dashboard.

Florida locals turn the heater up so high it starts to smell.

It's generally a steamer in the South, which means heaters and fireplaces are not of use... ever. However, there are always those few times a year when the outside air affects the inside A/C and Floridians need to make use of that warmer box.

Since it hasn't been used often, they crank it up and it starts to smell from being worked so hard after not being touched in a long time.

They brag about the cold front as much as they complain about it.

If Floridians are proud of one thing, it's the fact that they have tropical weather year-round making it the perfect vacation destination.

Although freezing weather is abnormal for the Sunshine State, when the sun is out and it reaches the 60s, you bet everyone's windows are cranked for that fresh air.

It might be a little odd to Northerners to hear Floridians complain so much and love it so much at the same time.

Floridian's see iguana's frozen from falling out of a tree.

No, really. Iguanas are all over Florida because of the environment. When that habitat is too risky, you'll find many of them frozen to death on the ground, typically near a tree where they have fallen off from.

It's not a typical sight to see up North, just like deer is not a typical sight to see in the Southern state!

You might see residents breathing really hard to see if it's cold enough to see their breath.

It sounds silly, but locals are not used to the effects of the cold front, so seeing your breath in chilly weather is a very exciting concept. It also is a massive indicator that it's freezing outside!

Presumably, this is a common occurrence up North. For Floridians, foggy glasses from the humidity are the comparison to seeing your breath in the lower temps.

They start making any seasonal food and beverages, i.e. chili, soup, hot cocoa, etc.

It is so difficult to eat hot foods in hot weather as it warms your body, so you bet Floridians hop to their nearest stove, fire it up and start making anything from homemade soups to chili, hot chocolate and possibly even hot toddies.

It's the few days a year they actually feel a seasonal change. Just let them have this one! It's not weird...it's Florida.
