Winter in Florida — ahh the irony. Despite winters in Florida being an enjoyable time for most, plenty of Floridians don’t know the secrets to survival. That’s right, we said “survival.” Dealing with a Florida winter is no small feat, which is why we provided a few tips below for you to do your best to make it through in one piece.
- Get ready for the beaches to be a bit more crowded than you’re used to.

- The water might be a bit colder than usual — 60 degrees in January, how rude!

- Sure, you can invest in gloves if you want, but maybe just the fingerless kind…because your hands will still sweat.

- Brrrrr — time to invest in a light jacket, too, it can get chilly.

- Be prepared to hear a lot of “must be nice!” from your friends and family up north.

- Also, be prepared to purchase an air mattress for the same friends up north.

- Don’t worry! Those giant slow-moving blobs of shadow under the water are just manatees tryin’ to stay alive.

- The boots you’ll be buying versus others across the country will be sliiiightly different.
