Winter weather...
 

Forecast is calling for lows in the mid 20s here in north Florida for Tuesday and Wednesday night. Rats.... Guess we're going to have to cover some plants already.

Seems kind of early for this, or is it just me?

Cold weather is ALWAYS too early for me..... :thumbsdown:

It got down to 32 degrees last night and a dusting of light snow which has already melting .Of coarse I'm in Maine and should expect a little cold and snow .

I'm on a 5 year plan (used up 1 already) to move but I'd hate to move to Florida only to freeze my azz off .That said I'm looking hard at Key Largo $$$$$ and KissME $$.My goal was to semi retire as Dopey at Disney or a shark wrestler off the Keys .

Any place south of Sarasota should be O.K.

We're just north of Tampa and we get frost a couple of times each winter.

I was born in Pomona Park which is directly east of Gainsville and it was very rare to have a frost and had to protect the small Orange grove .I don't remember getting really uncomfortable in the summer either and we had no AC .Memory is a little foggy as I was shipped north when I was 3 months old .Grandfather was an active member of the KKK and didn't want me growing up in the south .

The family owned farms and groves in Homestead ,Pomona park and south of Sebring .The Grove south of Sebring was huge by 1950's standards and nothing but dirt roads and a house that looked like a place Dracula would hang out .

The last of the properties was sold off in the late 60's except the farm portion of Homestead which was donated to the State of Maine as a research facility .

I can almost say I'm one of the few Native Floridians :D

I think the closer you are to a fair sized body of water, the more moderate the overall temperatures will be.

I'd go with the shark wrestler. :yesnod: Too many "dopeys" in FL as it is. :eek:

I've spent a lot of time diving in the Keys but still haven't met a shark but I've been told that ya can grab 'em by the tail flip 'em on their backs rub the tummy and they purr like a cat .:shrug01::shrug01:
