Cold weather makes us whiny. Temperatures in the 30s, and feeling like the 20s? In Miami? We have not stopped talking about it all day.

All we can think about is how happy we will be to see 75 again. So here are the first things we’ll do when it warms up:

Rush to the beach so we can resume tormenting northern friends on Instagram

Just another hellish day in Florida.

Taunting people who live in cold places with gorgeous oceanfront photos is pretty much our favorite pastime.

Bask in the healing rays of the sun

Give me all the sun.

OK, fine, we’ll put on SPF 30, but we are getting warm again. We’re over this sweater nonsense.

Jump in the pool

We don’t even care where we do it. Miami. Key Biscayne. South Beach. Wynwood. Brickell. Little Havana. The Grove. The Gables. We are going to sit outside and order something, anything, to eat, and give thanks for not being penned up inside.

Turn on the A/C

After all that complaining about having to turn on the heat, we’ll be sweating all too soon and turning on the air conditioner in three, two, one…

Complain about how hot it is

Just wait for it. You know it’s coming.
