It’s cold as all get-out here in St Agustine. I have had to break out all the stuff I moved from the North, combined with things that I wear in Europe in the winter.

This is bad. Our houses aren’t ready for it, and neither are we! Our poor little lizards are dying - that may sound silly, but they’re typical of this place, and seeing them frozen on the ground is very upsetting. I’d rather see Al Gore frozen into a block of ice somewhere soon.

This freeper thread has some interesting info on how the cold is affecting the wildlife.

Record freeze in Florida (warning posted for MIAMI, iguanas drop from trees)

Are all of them definitely dead? With a cold-blooded creature it might be more difficult to tell. Any chance some might thaw out of it?

I agree. It's tough to watch.

I have a pair of herons who stay near my pond here in NC year-round. Our low temps have been in the mid-teens several days running. Two or three days of lows like that per year is normal -- but six or seven nights in a row is something I've never seen. The herons can survive the cold -- I think -- but I'm afraid they may starve, as the fish have gone to the bottom of the pond, out of the herons' reach.
