The last time temperatures in Tampa, Florida, reached or dropped below 32°F was on January 13, 2011. During that event, temperatures dropped to 29°F, causing ice to form on the Veterans Expressway. While a significant cold blast occurred in January 2018, the most recent official 32-degree (or lower) reading for the city occurred in 2011. That was fifteen years ago.
Am doing. Wife is in nursing home but not even going to visit her today or until it warms up. She’s 25 miles away. I don’t need car trouble and stranded somewhere in ice cold temps surrounded by illegal aliens in vehicles they don’t know how to control. The dogs and I will be staying inside. I just fed the squirrels and gave them water. The cold is stultifying out back even with the 125-foot tall Cypress trees to block the wind. I’ve got plenty of wine and grub for myself and the dogs so no worries there.
It got as low as 23 last night in Daytona Beach. At 31 now. Forecast is to get to 46. Should hit 70 on Wednesday. I love our 5 day winters every 3rd year, especially after moving from Seattle where we had 5 months of fall, 1 month of winter, 5 months of fall, and about 1 week of summer.
Wisconsin. Yikes.
-22 this am in northeast. Brrr. Thabkfully no wind
63 here this morning. Cold.
Remember seeing snow flurries in Tampa (Christmas eve/day) when I lived there in 1989...
Yes, and I’m about to turn mine on (a/c). Temps of 85 degrees all week and warm at night! Wonderful to sit out on the patio - and take calls from family in upstate New York and Pennsylvania (-11 recently).
As bad as the government is in California, this is one of the reasons I don’t plan on leaving the state...yet.
9 degrees in watauga co nc
still snowing but light....total about 9 to 10 in.
JANUARY 19, 1977 - THE DAY IT REALLY DID SNOW IN TAMPA

lol - nope!
Can global warming cause global cooling?
Al Gore - Global Clod 
You know and I know what Global Warming is all about.
IT IS TO COLLECT MORE TAXES! Based on Carbon footprint BS.
Those hypocrites ignore the fact that last ice age some 25 to thousands of years ago was thawed out by global warming. Humans could barely start a fire with flintstones. Which to people with common sense means, global warming is NOT caused by humans. Global warming crowd ignores that global warming because it does not fit the narrative. Global warming is caused by the mighty SUN, million times bigger than earth. Sun has cycles which is obviously the main cause for earth’s climate change. Sure, occasionally a giant asteroid hits earth or a giant volcano erupts causing debris floating in atmosphere, and can cause temporary cooling due to blocking sunlight. But the real cycles of global warming and global cooling (ice age) are caused by the SUN.
Probably, but I was in a rush to get inside the warm house after walking the puppy dog in backyard, so did not look in the sky.
Tragedy! Wait till next ice age arrives. At least One fourth of Americans will perish. During previous ice age, Chicago was covered with 4 mile high glacier ice.
Global warming is responsible for global cooling, hurricanes & typhoons, forest fires, earthquakes, Tsunami’s, Flooding, draughts, Cancer, Obesity, poverty, and every other calamity /S /S /S
Do folk in NC even own snow shovels?
**....Last week we had blue skies 70 degrees with no clouds and dozens of chemtrails criss-crossing the sky, it looked like some pilots playing a gigantic game of tic-tac-toe. Right over Tampa International so there’s no way those were jet engine vapor exhausts with those kinds of trajectories.**
I spent decades riding cabless farm tractors, and can testify that the trails vary from long to almost nothing, due to humidity and temp at those altitudes. A tiny daytime sparkle from time to time of sun reflecting off of a jet, yet no trails at all.
Look at a flight radar site and you will see al sorts of traffic going to and fro over Florida enroute to and from the east coast/Europe/Central and South America, Bahamas to and from points west of Florida.
Chemtrails? I wouldn’t doubt that though. Just look at the cloud seeding practices.
One can dream ... maybe lower their numbers and wipe out some no see ums while the cold is at it.
The Manatees are putting on their long underwear.
