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.

There’s a nearby country road called seven mile hill rd. On that road there’s an area we call the cold corner. Truck thermometer showed 19.
Personally, I like the cold.
Right now it is 46 in the Panhandle. Not that cold but the wind is really blowing right out of the North. Unpleasant to be outdoors without a heavy jacket.
It is predicted to be 27 tonight. Probably not necessary but I will leave a faucet dripping.
shouldnt they keep the water moving ?
It managed to reach 29 today here at 2100’ elevation in western NC.
Nice. I get a kick out of the early morning bass fishers coming up river at 60 mph in their $65,000 rigs.
I am home office based, and look out at the lake from my desk.
In the Texas Hill Country we have had freezing temperatures in the mornings.
PLEASE SEND US SOME GLOWBULL WARMING!
Good grief, 1or2 nights of 29 degree weather will not freeze a water park!!
You think that by now they'd do something about it...
How Dare They!
Near Murphy? or farther west?
We have property down near FishHawk mountain in Macon County.
It will freeze the patrons ... and thus the risk mgmt lawyers.
gerbil worming
Back towards Asheville.
There was a nasty landslide on Fish Hawk mountain 10 or so years back.
We did, too, in Tennessee. It’s a balmy 24 now.
Most of it. It was a partly cloudy day. There is a full launch tomorrow I hope to catch also.
I remember visiting my cousins in Florida as a kid and they told us they had never seen snow.
Guess some invasive pythons will be frozen like a log...
