Unusually persistent cold weather dominates central Florida....
- Thread starter The Tradition
- Start date
It didn’t break 60 in Tampa until 3 pm or so yesterday. I was fishing the Bypass Canal in the morning and it was ~55 with a stiff breeze. Rained as well. Sucky ass weather.
And there you go! The worst day of fishing is better than your best day at work.
This will be a day when the high temp was reached at midnight and falls through the day. We'll be lucky to get out of the 30s this afternoon.
Pretty strong rain bands came through a little while ago. We can now feel the cooler air starting to filter in. Temps are expected to drop 30 degrees between now and dawn.
It's still in the high 60s here at Tradition Manor. Waiting for the bottom to drop out.
18 degrees with a wind chill of 11 here this morning. Yes, I have a Florida address.
*edit - dropped to 17° by the time I left for the office.

Predicted low for today, according to the WC app yesterday, was 41. Currently 43 at 6 am. It was 45 at 5 am so 41 might still happen. At least we didn’t get the 35 for today that the app predicted a few days ago.
Edit - 7 am low was 42

All I know is ITS FVCKING COLD!!!!! Looking at the 10 day forecast it looks like maybe a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm seeing upper 70's end of next week🤞
Saturday will be another chilly day. The 70s on Friday are due to yet another advancing cold front.
Clear and cold here in Jax this morning. Newcomers and transplants might be puzzled if they look around their neighborhood and see what looks like laundry drying on the bushes - but it is just the locals covering up certain plants so they’ll survive a freeze. My copper plant got covered up for sure.
Yeah. I brought in a bunch of potted plants last night. It's supposed to be mid 20s tonight so they'll stay in the garage.
Weird temps today. Low was at 3 am (46) and warmer at 7 am (49.) It is usually coldest at 7 am, at least in Tampa.

I’ve lived in Michigan and Wisconsin and never covered up any of our landscaping so no I don’t recall it being a thing.
I've only done it a few times on my tomato plants in the spring, but it's common if you have flowers you want protected.
Wind chill advisory tonight. Temperatures are supposed to be in the mid 20s with 10-15 mph north winds resulting in wind chills in the 5°-10° range.
Does anyone remember the 2010 Orange Bowl? I swear the local news stations were advising people to carry spades with them in case they came across a stunned iguana so you could cut their heads off.
We were discussing this recently in another thread. It was 34 degrees at 2 am on Miami Beach
Dumb question for Florida people
Do most of you have a winter wardrobe stashed away for visiting northern climates in the winter months, or do you just buy what need in the even you have to travel north during the winter?

Fortunately, the wind died down. 26 degrees this morning but the wind chill was only 20.
