I cant believe Florida can ever be COLD!!! I know 3 years ago I think it was we motored down to the Keys - torrential rain and it was November but when we got to Marathon the wind was so strong it nearly blew us away. Simply impossible to stay out in and yet it was warm. We ended up not staying more than a night and motored back to Tampa where it was warm and sunny. So not my best view of the Keys and have promised myself to go back - yet many people tell me it is not worth the visit

It is close to a year since our last trip and we had a few chilly days interpspersed with a few hot ones and few pleasent ones.
Its winter so chilly weather isn't that unusual, but what is unusual is just how low the temperatures have actually dropped. Its been warmer here in England the past couple of days/nights than in Florida which is unusual.
We are here in Florida at the moment.
Yesterday's weather was amazing. We s[bad language filtered out]ed a hard frost off the car in the morning and we were in swim suits by our pool in the afternoon, the boys even played in the pool for an hour. It got chilly in the evening again. It was glorious sunshine all day and forcast to stay that way and get warmer as the week goes on.[msncool]
phew thats a relief then!!!!

I've been in FL on some very cold days..most last a day or two in a row...then it warms up....once we were near enough the only people in Disney just before Christmas it was freezing...we've been going to FL for Christmas for years...and always had the odd cold day...
because I have the temp in Davenport FL and in Dinnis MA where I live on my PC together...I've noticed that a lot of the time this year...the temp in both places have been the same....we have had a very mild winter in New England...today is beauiful...
How on earth can you decide what to wear if it's freezing cold in the morning but in the 70's by lunch time.........think I feel a shopping trip coming on [msnwink]

My co-owner, who is over at our villa at the moment, told me today that we had some garden plants damaged due to the freezing conditions overnight recently. Just hope its only superficial.
oh thats a shame, hope they can be revived!!
