It's cold there too

I was talking with someone from customer support this afternoon. She asked me how the weather was. I told her it was 5 degrees, and she said it was cold where she was, but she was glad it wasn't that cold. I asked her where she was, and she said Orlando, and that it was 35°! She said there was ice on the windows. That is cold for Orlando! Much worse for them than 5° is for us.

Edit: I just looked up the weather for Orlando, FL, and their low temperature today was 57°. So I don't know what's up with that. Did she mean the tiny town in Oklahoma? Did I mishear? Did she make it up? Not allowed to give out that info, and didn't want to tell me no, so she made something up?

She didn't have an accent I could place, so I'm pretty sure she was in the country.

Edit 2: A friend pointed out that it had been that cold a couple of days prior, so the woman wasn't talking about that morning, specifically.

People never believe how cold it gets in San Diego, either. It's a thing.

Oh, I believe it in general. You hear stories sometimes about losing the orange crops. But this person must have been referring to that, not saying it was a day or two prior. I only checked the weather for that day and the night before.

Thank you!
