Ping.
I think it wa ‘89 — bad freeze - almost made it way to the Keys.
I blame global warming.
I hope they get an ice storm.
In December of 1962, it was 17 degrees in Tampa. I slipped on ice on the sidewalk headed for school that morning.
Last time I was in Orlando was january 2004, had a blast at the nearly deserted water parks, was immensely amused to see people wearing parkas, caps and gloves at Universal Studios in temps of low 50’s.
Spent a whole month there in a vacation rental home, there were a couple of days when the temps went over 75 and I had a little bit of heat exhaustion but it was a good vacation, returned to Alaska where it was -20F.I cannot go anywhere where it gets over 80 after quite a few years in Alaska now.
More global norming.
23 here in Villa Rica Ga. Now, very cold forcast for next
several days after which two or three days of possible snow
predicted.

No, but we used to have them more often. This past year has been very hot with temps 3 to 8 degrees above normal on most days.
This freeze warning is for the Okeechobee area (barely S. Florida) in the interior sections which can easily get to 10 degrees below the coast.
Here in suburban Philadelphia, we’re at just below 20 degrees with howling winds. Hubby is running heat lamps inside our attached garage. We forgot to drain one section of plumbing, and it’s already frozen. I’m just glad he and our boys insulated the crawl space above our 2nd floor last week. Good timing on that project!

Longest Cold Snap In Nine Years Hits Central Florida
Posted: January 2, 2010
Orlando, FL — A major cold front will cause freezing conditions every night through this Thursday across almost the entire region. Some areas could even see a hard freeze.
The cold front first hit the area on Friday.
It’s the longest stretch of cold weather Central Florida has seen since 2001.
Farmers are protecting their crops because of the freezing weather.
Energy officials say demand for electricity has also increased because of the cold weather. The Orlando Utility Commission, however, says it has plenty of power to meet demand.
Area homeless shelters are also opening their doors to make sure people on the street have a warm place to sleep.
People are also being warned to bring in their pets and protect their plants and pipes.
33.3f in St. Augustine at 1:40 AM. I’m about 10 miles West, away from the Atlantic, it will be colder out here.
Brrrr, it’s cold down there in the tropics. Nooo thanks, chilly Florida. It was 75 here today. (SoCal)
It’s 20 degrees here in North Alabama.
Heh, our daughter is heading back to school down there next weekend. She might find little difference from what she’ll be leaving, here in MA!
