sunnydee123 0 #1 December 23, 2003 Is it true that 57 in Eloy feels colder then 57 in Florida? I was thinking because the air is moist here it would seem colder but am I confused. Oh Man....Can I buy hot chocolate by the gallons once I get there..... Dreams become reality, one choice at a time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #4 December 23, 2003 Just go jump, it'll warm you up better then any amount of hot chocolate can ever do. Oh, and 57F isn't cold. -57F is cold which is what it gets to at night there (or close to it).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

skyyhi 0 #6 December 23, 2003 Yes 57 degrees is colder where it is dry because the air is devoid of moisture to hold the heat. . . It is COLD in AZ this time of year. . .________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #7 December 23, 2003 I agree that 57 is cold. But, you're from NJ, you should be used to it! Quotewonder how security is at airports with the hightened order.. They said on the news today to get to the airport 2 1/2 hours early.

sunnydee123 0 #8 December 23, 2003 My friends just called me from Orlando and said they are being REALLY tight but it is moving smoothly. Have to remember to take my hook knife off the rig - I always forget. I have not been from NJ for over 7 years now....blood has thinned. I am officially a Floridian now and a TOTAL WIMP when it comes to the cold. I'm gonna REALLY be in the mood for huggin' now - I hug ALL my new pals (and the old ones too) Dreams become reality, one choice at a time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine 2 #9 December 23, 2003 Quotewonder how security is at airports with the hightened order.. ------------------------------------------------------------------ They said on the news today to get to the airport 2 1/2 hours early. The airport i'm flying out of is tiny!! I looked it up on the internet yesterday to get directions to it and found American is the only airline that even flies there. The other company that uses the airport is a private charter company that only does flights to Las Vegas. I'm scared that since it's in the middle of nowhere the security agents will freak about my rig. You have to see the picture of the terminal building (yes the only terminal building on the airport). ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

FallingAngel 0 #11 December 23, 2003 57 would be a heat wave right now!! 57 beats out 27 almost any day (at least, when you want to skydive)...[its snowing here in IL right now] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elfanie 0 #12 December 23, 2003 QuoteYes 57 degrees is colder where it is dry because the air is devoid of moisture to hold the heat. . . It is COLD in AZ this time of year. . . I dunno... I think that when there's moisture...temps seem exaggerated. What I mean is...to me, 100* here in Arizona is nothing compared to the 89* weather I had when I visited Cancun with 98% humidity. However...when there's humidity and it's COLD, it feels much colder to me...because the damp cold makes it 'stick' to you..just like the damp heat feels hotter. It's been getting up to the mid/high 70's here lately (highs when we jumped on saturday and sunday were like 77-78*). I'm still shivvering when they open the door at altitude...BRRRR!! But it's relatively mild...gloves are even optional. It was chilly...but not "cold". And it was gorgeous on the ground. I know that the weather channel predicts 55* on saturday...but...well...it's the weather channel, and that's many days away. We'll see what happens when saturday is closer. =) I'll be jumping in Coolidge on Friday if anyone wants to join us...(if it doesn't rain.) I won't be able to be at eloy until Tuesday...probably tuesday afternoon. -------------------------------------------- Elfanie My Skydiving Page Fly Safe - Soft Landings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacy 0 #13 December 24, 2003 the airports are not so horrible. I flew out of tampa this morning at the crack of dawn. NO problems with the security stuff, it didn't seem that bumped up witht eh exception of having to show my pass and ID more often. Moreso annoying were the crowds. and the fact that the wheel of my plane broke on landing and we were delayed 2 hours and the jetway didn't work so we had to taxi to another gate. ah well. __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
