Don't Cry Northerners! Memes of Winter in Florida

As the endless train of winter storms continue to hammer the north east United States (especially Boston) some people can't resist poking a little fun at the climatic difference between the states! Check out these funny (or just plain mean) memes and cartoons describing winters in Florida. If you are from New England, try not to cry! 

That sand just keeps getting deeper, put extra sunscreen on as you dig out the sand to make your sand castle! 

Not enjoying the winter months? You must not be a Floridian! 

Smart advertising or cruel, cruel joke? 


Punxsutawney Phil has some competition! 


What the hell are you doing shoveling snow? 


How do you use your salt?

Blue Skies Above: Hurricane Sandy Cause Storm Surge in Ft Lauderdale! (Video)



Believe it or not, but this video is actually a result of Hurricane Sandy! Yes, the storm was so massive, and such a monster, that it sent storm surge all the way down the east coast to Ft. Lauderdale Beach in Florida.  On the morning of October 28, 2012, Hurricane Sandy was about to take her left hand turn into the coast of New Jersey, but it sent swells out in all direction, impacting people and beaches far and wide!  

These swells, combined with an astronomical high tide, sent the ocean crashing over the dunes and right into the stress of Ft Lauderdale Beach. Pretty impressive considering the storm was close to 1,000 miles to the northeast! Sunrise Blvd was inundated with water, shocking many considering the skies were crystal blue and the weather was beautiful.

It truly is remarkable to see the strength and power of these storms!
