Florida is 500 miles long - so where exactly are these arctic events happening ?
Originally being from Iowa, I pretty much find it ludicrous to use the word 'arctic' and 'Florida' in the same sentence. I don't know about anyone else, but when I think of arctic conditions, I think of blizzards and well below zero temps for days on end.
I know things can get a little ugly some winters in the panhandle along I-10, but even then, I don't think anyone would call it arctic. In the 15 years I lived in the Orlando area, I can truthfully state that I could wear shorts every day if I wanted to. And you ain't gonna have any of that winter nonsense down around Ft Myers. They have palm trees down there that can't even take the winter temps that occur in the Orlando area.
One of the Florida Keys claims to fame is that it has never EVER got down to 32 degrees. My kind of place.
