Why does Pete keep telling everyone what the temparture is?

[drakethib]

Scratching my head.

[UrsulasShadow]

Scratching my head.
So we suffer? Yes, that's got to be it. Either that, or a clever marketing ploy to get us to all come to Florida. Little does he know how that will backfire on him, for with all of us there, there's little chance that he will elude a full-scale stalking mission, and we WILL actually end up camped out on his doorstep...MWAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[andrabell]

It's all right. When it's full blown summertime and the living ain't so easy for the Floridians, the rest of us can delight in our more comfortable dew point levels. ;)

[DisDarling]

It's so nice of him when here in the midwest, we are WARM when it gets ABOVE zero! :lmao:

[two-foxes]

It is simple tourture....all in fun, I am sure. It is particularly worse now as it got up to a "toasty" 52 today....only to drop to a high of 24 with an 80% chance of snow for lovely St Valentine's Day. Yeah, I am jealous.

As it was so eloquently put today, "I don't have to shovel humidity!" Yeah, I am really jealous!

Lucky.....

[DLBDS]

It doesn't bother me at all. I actually feel sorry for HIM. Here in NC we don't seem to have much of a winter anymore. It's sad really. I like my seasons.

[cocowum]

so he can torture us.:headache: This is what it looks like in my neck of the woods.

School was closed today because of an ice storm.:scared: :scared: :scared:

Only 4338 days until we move to Florida.:beach:

[aGoofyMom]

I swear every time Pete gives the temperature we get another 6 inches of snow. Some sort of bizarre snow/pixiedust thing.

I am soo gonna get a picture of my snowbanks and post it! I don't really mind the snow that much but we are going to have to start truckin' it out somewhere - there is just no where left to put it! Of course that is more of a city planning design flaw.

I will say one thing about getting all this snow - it's much better than those days where it is too cold to snow.

[WebmasterPete]

It's what I do to my family and friends back in Jersey. Whenever I'm talking to them, I bust on them about the weather down here (and they get me right back when we're having bad weather). Sorry, I'll stop doing it :)

Pete

[aGoofyMom]

Don't stop on my account! As it has been said - I choose to live here! :cold:
The weather in Orlando is one more of the enticements to pack up & get away. :beach: This could very well be my only incentive to work overtime right now.

I still want to post a picture of my snowbanks though. I can't see over them.
:rolleyes:

Pete

Don't stop! I love it when you make me suffer Pete! :upsidedow No really I do....no I am not twisted....:cutie:

It sent us snow and we never get snow! We also had 2 snow days!! Which I love since I am working at school now.....(so I can pay for my cruise! :confused3 )

Don't stop....I just love random crazy things.....like that......(did you know I am in my pajama's---sorry just being random!)

I also don't think you will stop! Because you love it as much as I do.

No, don't stop! I think it's hysterical.

[cocowum]

No, don't stop! I think it's hysterical.

I agree. It gives us something to look forward to.:thumbsup2 Only 4337 days...;)

[kab407]

I put up with it from my Sister who also lives in FL. What's one more person rubbing it in? Besides, Pete is funnier then she is.

[Cruz Family]

Why does Pete keep telling everyone what the temperature is?

Cause he is a crotchety old man who likes to rub in the fact that Florida is warm year round and some of us poor souls happen to live in places that are freezing right now. Whatta guy!!!!:thumbsup2
:lmao:

[two-foxes]

Shoot, Pete, don't stop!!!! I have been working on DH to move to ANY part of Florida since we've been together. (If we could only afford Celebration:cloud9:Not gonna happen:eek: ) Hearing the warm temps just may sway him....okay probably not, but it is always worth a try. I can guarantee I will use the line "You don't have to shovel humidity" to him today as the snow is falling here in Ft Fun and he's headed out with the shovel.

[robertgp124]

For those of us not in Florida, there's sort of a perverse desire to know how nice it is. We have relatives in Pompano - we always want to know how it is when we talk (and then whine afterwards). For the record, Firefox says it's mostly cloudy and 22 degrees here in beautiful downtown Morgantown, WV. We're expecting a heatwave today - it will be positively balmy with a high of 42 degrees.

<sigh>

Next up, Pete will be doing the podcast from his patio with a glass of iced tea (probably not sweet tea, heathen), stretched out on a lounge, describing how the breezes are gently blowing... :rotfl2:

[pha1226]

EVIL, EVIL, EVIL

(any Kids in the Hall fans?? No?? Nevermind...)

[AuroraJae]

Well, I think we are getting our payback for rubbing y'alls noses in our great weather. This morning we woke up to a 45 degree temperature! :scared1:
I am freezing...time to turn the heat on!

[scarlett873]

Awww...don't stop! Although it drives me crazy, I love to hear how nice it is! One of these days we'll move to Florida...

Girl...if only I could send our weather to you...it's FREEZING here! But at least the sun is shining! It's been so long since i've seen the sun that i'd forgotten what it looked like!

oh you poor thing...we haven't seen 45 in about a month and a half. It might reach 50 next week...of course it is supposed to be raining that day though.

[timandlesley]

Yes I'll be thinking of Pete as I run from my car into work just hoping my face doesn't freeze. Nothing like making snow angels while clicking your heels together saying "there's no place like home" and imagining the WORLD!

[beachwarmer]

I remember the joy of calling home in December and reporting 86 degree temperatures in Orlando when it was cold and snowing back home.

How wrong is it to want the weather to be horrible at home when you are on vacation??? Come on admit it....we all do it......Pete just gets to do it all the time....

absolutely...nothing better than saying "it's only going to get up to about 75 today so we might not go swimming" when it's 20 at home and snowing...

The only problem with that is last time we went to Disney in the winter we parked at the Manchester Airport before the garage was finished and when we got off the plane I had to shovel 3 day old snow off of my car. And for those of you that don't know 3 day old snow is very crusty and sticky so it is very difficult to get rid of.

Needless to say when we go next month I will keep my mouth shut

Pete does it because he's MEAN :) While here in Iowa it's a 30 degrees, and I'm walking around in my bikini (everybody go EWWWWW). Tomorrow the high is supposed to be 6 degrees.

Pete, you should not change the person you are to try to make everyone around here happy. We all love you for who you are and what you say. You make us laugh.

[dpuck1998]

I'll take my cold winter days of sitting around the house or going out skiing anyday. I spent several summers in Florida and I'll take winter over Florida in the Summer anyday :-)

Keep giving us reports! I like to know what its going to be like next time I'm down there.

Pete

Absolutely don't stop!! I have parents that live in Spring Hill, FL. They do the same thing to me and it's just good natured fun. It's funny and heartbreaking all at the same time.

However, Pete, those reminders may prompt many of us to uproot and move to Orlando. Then won't you be sorry when it takes you 45 minutes to get to Publix. We're gonna clog up your streets!!

I did this last March when we were on the Disney cruise - it was so beautiful at St. Maarten and St. Thomas - Castaway Cay was a bit cooler (in the high 70s but still so pretty!) and then we had a wonderful day in the 80's in Epcot. BUT karma bit us in the butt because when we were calling home and bragging about our good weather and we were hearing about the ice storm at home, we had a pipe burst! Apparently, we forgot to turn our ice maker off before we left home and the water in the pipe froze. So now when I go on vacation to a warm place and it is cold at home, I no longer brag ;) I am afraid of bad karma.

[Torontogal]

:eek: I woke up to -30 celsius (-23F) with the windchill factor. Do you Floridians even know what a wind chill factor is?

[SamIAm21]

No they don't and they have no use for that funny little machine we use quite often called a snowblower!

:rotfl:

[DisneyKevin]

This Floridian spent the first 35 years of life in upstate NY.

I understand wind chill. I understand snowblowers. I understand shoveling the drive just in time for the plow to come through and build another 5 foot wall where I just scooped the last shovel. I understand having the ice scaper snap in your hand. I understand starting the car an hour early.

These are just a few of the reasons I now live in FL.

I will take the 3 Hs (heat, humidity and hurricanes) over snow and ice any day.

It's 61 in Orlando today. That's the high.

I've decided to randomly remove the letter R from certain words.

Not complaining here at all. Gives me a chance to wear my winter coat (ok...hooded sweatshirt).:thumbsup2

The "spot a podcaster" cruise giveaway is for finding Pete and Walter at Universal during a Mardi Gras event.

They even gave some clues as to when they may show up.

Ratsafraggle!! And I'm stuck here in Chicago! Kevin, if I could, I would put up with the 3Hs vs. the snow and ice too. After 35 years in upstate NY, you deserve the warmth & sunshine!

And, I totally know what Pete's hint was as to when he'll be there. Dangit, why can't I be in Orlando?!?

Pete!

You don’t need to stop doing it as long as you acknowledge, given the back story for giving the temperature, that we are all part of an extended, albeit somewhat daft, eccentric “family.” :grouphug: We’ll work on the functional/dysfunctional part on the cruise.

Hi All,

I'm fairly new to the board but not to the area. Wife and I just had dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern this evening (Valentine's Day). Spur of the moment decision. Had no ADR. Only a 30 minute wait. We we're surprised.

After dinner, we did Small World and Peter Pan. What a wonderful Valentine's Day.

Hope yours was as good.

Couldn't we do a more fun promotion like "Pete is going to be giving away a cruise in Iowa this month. Can you figure out which cornfield he'll be hiding in?" I have a MUCH better chance of winning that one.

[wishspirit]

See i havent a clue what your talking about! Being an English girl through and through and being brought up on the metric system, your temperatures mean nothing to me. Here its got a max of 6°C, heck know what that is in F. ALl i know is that the daffodils are out and its a bit sunny :)

I think this giving out the pins in the park thing isnt fair! I get to go to disney once every few years and god knows if an email will ever be read out (i never have any good ideas!). I will just have to sit here and grumble to my lanyard.

[UrsulasShadow]

that's ok because we make up fouh it when we put the R in words that it shouldn't be in...fouh example, "Have you ever eaten tuner fish?" If you're from MA you have.

Grumble Ye Not - might I suggest - Once Pete gets the toll free international line set up (what a guy!!), those of you Across the Pond will have a chance to leave voice mails without spending huge money. And you know how much we colonials like to hear those accents!!! So there's YOUR advantage to look forward to...

Yup it's time for a vacation!

So Pete.. Do I win one of your coveted cruises you have stashed since we are FREEZING up here ??!!! :worship: LOL!:lmao: - I know.. No chance!:rotfl:

I am 5 feet tall. I am standing on about 6 inches of ice and snow we haven't been able to chip out of the driveway yet. My 6 foot tall DH can't see over them either. It may all be due to poor City planning, but we are running out of places to put the darn stuff! We have had at least 2 full melts and are expecting this next merging of 2 storms to bring rain or freezing rain.
This is also how I dress to walk back & forth to the school.

Pete - keep those temperatures coming...I need something to chuckle at as I make the hot cocoa for he who shovels. Besides, I think your weather updates may have something to do with my return trip this May! :goodvibes I would have gone sooner if I could have gotten cheaper flights for my days off!

It actually got up to 60 the other day but then it got REALLLY COLD again:scared:

[wdwowner]

I think this is my fault.

While driving home from work in a snow storm I called the hotline and told them about my hour and a half ride home (normal drive time is 20 minutes), 10 degrees with 20 mph winds. I was going no where fast.

Next show he starts giving the temp and weather reports.


DARN YOU PETE!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Last time I do something like that!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Worse part is this gives Pete a show segment and I don't get to pick an envelope. Bummer.

[Stevegriswold]

The same reason WDW puts the temparture on the screen when you are watching the Disney Christmas Parade. It gets people in Chicago, etc to plan a trip to WDW when it is FREEZING Cold out.

So Pete wants everyone to plan a trip to his place.

[wishspirit]

Liza Doolittle or Mary Poppins?

More toward the Mary Poppins side, basically a BBC English accent. I often get accused of being 'posh' but thats just how everyone talks where i live, i went to state school and everything!
