It wasn't exaggerated by the media. As you say, Miami is obviously known for year-round warmth, so to have a pro-longed period of cool weather is unusual . The temperature was below 70 F for six days, mostly in the low 60s. January 8th reached 74 F, but the following two days were 63 F and 48 F, respectively. Then for three more days it was only in the 60s. Eleven days failed to reach 70 F. December 2010 was actually cooler on average than January 2010.
I was reffering to the fact that every extreme forecast of the USA weather will be all over the world,that's not the same for Brazil,Brazilian weather news are not on the top pages of the world of Europe or the USA,that's why for someone who is living abroad is hard to get weather news from Brazil and we don't know that much about the extreme weather thats going on in Brazil

Not in the headlines but, maybe at the bottom of the page. The fact is, all news about cold in Brazil are linked to coffe and soy prices:
Not much difference. You'd probably have to go down to Tampico to start seeing completely tropical vegetation.
There is a heck of a lot of diff between Fort Lauderdale veg and Brownsville. I didn't say there was a lot of diff between Orlando and Brownsville vegetation.

What region in Florida starts seeing temperate vegetation?
What region in Florida starts seeing temperate vegetation?
Temperate vegetation continues all the way into the Keys, but no part of the state is or looks truly temperate due to the Sabal palmetto palms and 2 other species of undergrowth palms. I would guess somewhat more temperate looking vegetation would start somewhere north of Orlando inland and St. Augustine on the coast.

I'd thought it started past Jacksonville and Pensacola which are two of the coldest cities on state. But most of Florida is covered by coastal mangrove like Everglades isn't?

Jacksonville and Pensacola still don't get very cold, usually not past 20*F. Almost all of Florida is a mix of temperate/tropical species (including the Everglades) so there's no clear distinction between the two. Red and white mangroves grow up to about Daytona Beach while black mangroves to around St. Augustine.

As you said, Florida has mixed vegetation:
The forest behind that plate resembles some high subtropical forests we have in southeast of Brazil:
This is Serra dos Orgaos park on Rio mountains.
I think vegetation can be used as a way to define equal climates.
All pictures are of Agulhas Negras peak, Rio's highest point, on July 1985.
