A Florida Freeze

I thought the white moss hanging like icicles was going to be as close as I got to winter this year; my mums might disagree.

It was 32 degrees when I walked outside this morning.  I could see my breath when taking these pictures!  Bay News 9 reports that Tampa hit a record low of 28 degrees last night.  They have us beat by a degree.  In January 1981 the temperature dropped to 29 degrees in Sarasota.

Governor Christ has declared a state of emergency – not for the crazed and cold Floridians who have no idea how to scrape ice off their windshields but for the fruit and citrus farmers who are in danger of losing their crops.  I covered the peppers last night…

…and Luke.

With his runny nose and his itty-bitty shivering bones, he’d like to tell the Arctic to take their air back.  He didn’t pant through the summer to have an average high of 52 degrees.

  1. Lukey, you get to wear such cute clothes when it cold outside. Now wipe your little nose and get back in the sun room.

    Experiencing a similar record-breaking temperature pattern here in Ireland. The natives are just as bewildered as Floridians by cold weather, and snow! Snow. On the ground for days, be Jeezuz! All the schools are closed, but not the pubs.
