And you realize that even with that there have been 25 colder Januaries in New Orleans since 1947? Obviously record cold temps still happen on the scale of a day or two in a subregion, but you don't have to stretch the timeline or geographic scale very far out to see how watered down things generally are now. It's always weird that I have to point this out so often.

Yeah there are better places. But… Drinking a Hurricane from the bar late in a balmy evening palms swaying in breeze as you gaze towards Cuba… that’s a good reason enjoying a boat ride in the waters in Miami drink in hand seeing the parties out on their boats getting a tan… that’s a good reason enjoying dinner outdoors along sidewalk in coconut grove seeing everyone out late S American style…. Another good reason

It's an affordable getaway without leaving the country. And it's tropical here right now.

Were going to need that blocking to be strong to hold the cold air with the western trough.

My man, it snowed a foot in New Orleans and Pensacola 11 months ago with readings barely above 0F just a few miles from the Gulf.
