We are one-third of the way into December now, and the temperature is a balmy 75 degrees out. Since when is that normal? This is more like a December on the equator than in the southern United States. I realize that it is not usually as cold here in Alabama as it is "back home" in Pennsylvania, but still, this is out of the ordinary. I have yet to wear pants to a normal day of class, save for a few times I have been required to be in business dress or business casual due to various circumstances. Other than that, it has been shorts all the way for me!
There was a cold spell a few weeks ago, and some of the mornings were pretty chilly--even dropping into the mid-30s. The coldest daytime high was probably mid-40s or so. Of course, that caused all the southern natives to race to their closets and pull out their coats, hats, gloves, and scarves to fend off the "bitter cold." The most amusing arrival is the sorority girls' style of leggings or running tights, worn with shorts or on their own. Picture a girl prancing across campus in a North Face jacket, a too-large swap t-shirt, short Nike athletic shorts, long black spandex tights, (or just one of the two previously mentioned garments), and to top (or bottom) it all off: fuzzy "Ug" boots. In short: odd.
