That would ruin Christmas for me. It should be cold for everything Christmas-related. 80 degrees? Ugh.
It's a surprise that anyone could live in this arctic hell. The climate is one of the worst on Earth! Even temperate species such as coconut palms cannot survive here. It's so cold that nights can get below 70F IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER.
An amateur climatologist might suggest that it gets warm during the summer. However, we all know this is an extremely rare occurrence caused by the current warm epoch. Even if summer days manage to rise above the lukewarm 95F mark, the sun will soon be gone and will be followed by almost 12 HOURS OF DARKNESS. Additionally, the risk of freezing temperatures lasts for most of the year. Frosts have happened in fall, winter, and spring. That's 75% of the year. Therefore, only 25%, or 3 months, are frost-free. No wonder Florida farmers abandoned the state in favor of the tropical Great Plains, which have been known to have weeks of 100F+ temperatures and abundant precipitation.
The vegetation of Central Florida reflects it's freezing climate. Conifers (which include fir and spruce), widely known to only inhabit subarctic areas, cover some of the area. The region is mostly a tundra, with the only plants being grasses due to the extremely short growing season. This can be seen here - http://goo.gl/maps/64afq. Also, notice the reindeer in the picture. These animals that are only native to polar areas.
So, the sophomoric claim that Central Florida is subtropical is now debunked.
Only fools mock the concepts they cannot understand...
Buxton's altitude means that the sun is so strong most days of the year that it can set your hair on fire - oh and I can power my whole house from a 5" square solar panel with ease.
Florida is the only place in America worthy of the title, "subtropical paradise". Not sure about New Orleans and the surrounds (the Deep South).
The ENTIRE Coastal South is subtropical paradise, not just Florida. Blessed with copious amounts of rain in the summer, and graced by warmth, and sunshine during winter. The Coastal South is a climactic orgasm, an Eden like no other.
Tropical flora turns up a lot in the native Southern landscape; mangrove swamps line the entire coastline up to Georgia, mahogany trees grow in the thick coastal forests, and spanish moss and other bromeliads adorn nearly every tree. Furthermore, tropical animals like jaguars, ocelots, monkeys, flamingos, parrots, parakeets, pythons, and crocodiles are known to survive in South. If that isn't paradise, then I don't know what is.

Somewhere that doesn't actually get large amounts of snow, frost, subzero temperatures and is warm all year round? Somewhere like erm maybe that has a TROPICAL CLIMATE? maybe?
Maybe..
