With unexpectedly cold weather in the forecast and pandemic-related curfews in some places, Florida is about to have a Christmas unlike any other in recent memory, and it may involve falling iguanas.
The National Weather Service earlier this week warned that South Florida could experience the coldest Christmas Day in 21 years. Morning lows on Saturday could drop into the low 30s and 40s degrees Fahrenheit, the weather service said.
“ Brrr! Much colder temps expected for Christmas," the National Weather Service in Miami tweeted earlier this week. “Falling iguanas are possible."
Ok. You got me. I’m asking for myself. Please don’t throw me in that there Briar patch.
Sounds like perfect conditions for an iguana hunt.
I am so jealous.
The least you could do is send some iguana meat through da mail.
You Floridans. You’re notoriously weird and selfish.
It’s because of you that we ended up having Bush2 as prez. Of course, the alternative woulda been worse, but I dislike having u guys decide. I prefer 2 see iguana carcasses on da sidewalk but there are folks who will eat that meat.
Christmas time and iguanas. Reminds me of a Christmas song.
“Later on if you wanna, we can roast an iguana...
Good kill that invasive species off with a 100,000 pythons.
That’ll work in a gumbo!
you can have my share iguana gumbo sounds at least as bad as McD’s, if that be possible
One way to tell if the ice is safe, is to walk on the snowmobile tracks. If the track ends, the machine broke through the ice.
I may ask the guys in the parking lot, who are packing up their fishing gear, how deep the ice is.
I also use a walking pole (especially on the lake) if I find an open fish hole, not frozen over I can stick my pole in the water to measure the ice. I like finding at least one foot thick of ice.
If trucks and cars are out on the lake, the ice is safe. I always wear a florescent orange hat. If I fall through the ice, they can find my hat.

Your post reminds me of a story about ice fishing, a brand new truck, a hapless beautiful dog, and dynamite.

Mercury is a problem in apex predators in the Everglades.
I spent 37 years in Chicago area and loved going to UP and upper WI to go skiing in winter. But after reaching age 50, I decided to divorce the cold winters and moved to WA state.
Besides being too liberal around Seattle, loved the state and the great golf weather all year round. Now in Florida, a well run state with low taxes everywhere.
You just know that they have hired a dozen iguana experts at the National Weather Service.
“If you look at our Doppler weather thing, you can see iguanas dropping from the trees like Joy Behar’s boobs. And wouldn’t we all rather see the iguanas?”
Better not transport the Iguanas across the State line. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/iguana-meat-smuggler-eliodoro-soria-fonseca-sentenced/1951561/#:~:text=A%20man%20accused%20of%20attempting,to%20two%20years%20in%20prison.&text=According%20to%20authorities%2C%20Fonseca%20entered,he%20intentionally%20concealed%20underneath%20fish.
“Hi! I’m Dave Scanlon and I’m an iguana expert here at the National Weather Service.
Sure, we all hear about iguanas falling out of trees in the cold, but what about the rest of the year? Are the iguanas just sitting up in the trees playing cards and drinking beer?
According to our 20 year, 43,000,000,000 federally funded study, we don’t know.
We did, though. Fell out of the trees like frozen iguanas. Happy, frozen iguanas.”
Knoxville, TN temp is 21 degrees F with about 5 in. Of recent snow, colder and more snow than I experienced. On many Christmases while I lived in Milwaukee.
“We have a letter from little Bobby Scuzz from Peoria, Illinois. Bobby wants to know if the iguanas would benefit from heating pads.
Well, Bobby, while we here at the Service appreciate your concern for the iguanas, we all want to know if they have any schools in Peoria? Where the heck do you think you plug those heating pads? Do the trees have electrical outlets in Peoria, Bobby?
No. Just a minute. These are the kinds of questions we get from these little turdheads. Never anything about high pressure systems. Always something stupid about warming up lizards or giving snowshoes to the deer.
No. I won’t get off! You can just cut”
LOL
All that crap coming down from the Big Sugar factories and massive construction.
The glades are dying because the builders are taking the water for the houses.
Stuff you’re not supposed to know about.
Let’s blame it on snakes.
Some of you are probably wondering what the iguanas are doing in the trees?
Well, where would you like them to be?
In the hot tub?
Maybe riding around in the boats at the It’s A Small World ride at Disney World?
Sure, I’d like to see them waterskiing at Sea World, but they won’t wear swimsuits.
How many of you want to go see naked lizards getting towed behind speedboats?
Besides Andrew Cuomo?
It's far more "developed" now
[damn snakes and their backhoes]
