January is no time for splishing and splashing, even in the Sunshine State.
Vacationers looking to escape winter weather by taking a trip to Florida are in for some bad news: cold weather is on the way. In fact, things are about to get so cold that some of the state’s water parks are shutting down.
Universal Studios tweeted out that its Volcano Bay water park will be closed Monday through Wednesday due to the unusual wave of cold weather slated to hit.
Arctic air is funneling into Florida starting Monday, causing the coldest temperatures of the winter so far, Fox 51 reports. Temperatures could dip below freezing, which has caused freeze watches to be issued across several counties.
Warm weather is reportedly expected to return later in the week, with low temperatures returning to the mid-50s.
Disney World’s website also states that Blizzard Beach Water Park will be closed Monday through Wednesday, although it does not state if this is because of the cold weather. According to the website, the park will reopen at 10 a.m. on Thursday morning.

Nothing unusual for Florida...it has been hotter than normal the last four winters
Dang Gorebull warming!
Let Greta know!
Here in central KY we hit 70 degrees last week. :)

Good thing we got all this Global Warming,
or else it could actually get cold out there
It was down to 24 here in N.Georgia last night and
cold predicted for a few more days. Warmed up to 40
this afternoon.
How dare they?
How DARE it get so cold.
We were 22 last night in Hall County, GA. (on the lake between Dahlonega and Gainesville)
My son said it was 17 this morning in Asheville, NC
Ah, well, if it bleeds, it leads...
We are in the Titusville Mooring field. 20+ kt winds and it’s suppose to be 42 tonight. We’ll bundle up and run the stove for a bit.
Winter usually comes the 18-19th of Jan. and ends in FLA around Presidents day, then it becomes early summer. Oh yes, then we get hurricanes, about 14 of them of which 4-7 with be Cat 2 or better. late summer ends in December but quickly returns to early summer as stated. Is there anything else you need to know about FLA weather? Its usually warm, hot, and hotter. Sometimes it reaches freezing at 55 degrees if you have been here long enough. Lets not forget, today is Saturday, or was it Saturday yesterday, it could be Saturday tomorrow??? OH wait, I remember now, there are 7 Saturdays in a week. Ahhhh, life in the Gunshine State, where you enjoy your sunny days and fry your brains.
1/26/1986 was pretty chilly along the Space Coast. Just ask Thiokol.
Did you get to see Space X pop their rocket the other day?
feel bad for fams in the NE that plop down big bucks on a Fl getaway for late Jan and find out when the time arrives its warmer at home.
Oh well Come On Down
I’m over near Amicalola falls.
Probably just as cold tonight and tomorrow.
Since you are that close, and will understand, we are on the Chestatee part of Lanier. Pretty country up there where you are as well.
We usually fish the chestatee in the spring from
Lumpkin Co. park for stripers, my brother is a guide
on the lake.
