I was talking about Central Florida crops the low was 29 last night and the night before was 28. Its only 35 right now in Orlando and its 9am, the suns been up fpr a good 2 hours, hogs might not make it out of the 40s again today. Tonights low is 30, wednesday is 31 and this friday and the weekend they will be in the low 30s upper 20s again. we will get somewhat of a relief on Thursday with a low only in the low 40s but that won't last more than a night.

Its all good really, it could be worse I could be up North in 28 degree weather..no thank you

It all depends where you are from ; this is nothing compared to Chicagoland where i came from . 28 f. is only moderately cold to me . I dont put gloves on till it gets down to 5 f.

lol this is true...growing up in NYC it was quiet cold, I guess also as you get older you feel colder....this cold isnt cold to people up north, but people who have low tolerance to cold well its just cold... and for florida standards its very cold

I particularly hate the cold

We moved down from Denver in June ... to get away from weather like this! I knew it was the subtropics, rather than the tropics, and there are chilly nights from time to time, but this many back to back cold days is a little more than I expected.

I planted about 10 tropical fruit seedlings in June and they are all still doing really well. I made sure to buy from a nursery that seeks out the most cold tolerant varieties and all of them are supposed to be hardy to the upper 20's. But, the Atemoya and Sugar Apple are starting to look a bit rough. I have been fertilizing them with a product that is supposed to increase their frost tolerance and I treated them with FreezePruf the day before the cold front came. Poor babies, I wish there was more I could do for them, but it's sink or swim time!

Come up to Minnesota for the month of January. High of zero degrees (thats right 0 Degrees F) today. Last 3 days we have not made it above zero and at night has been negative 20. That is the actual air temperature not the wind chill FYI!!!
Looks like well finally make it above 10 degrees next week. Heat wave!!!!
Granted this has been an unusual cold snap up here to, but unless your income depends on the ag industry in Florida, I don't feel sorry for you.

Sure hope we all get a break soon - up North, down South, the Midwest!

Neighbor left NYC a few weeks ago for "warm, sunny" Florida, packed a teeny bikini and a straw hat, came back yesterday with a ski cap, heavy down jacket, gloves, scarf, muttering something about where Al Gore could put his lectures on global warming.

Oh well, let's all bundle up and hope for the best!
