I second silversand's post about it being extremely cold this winter in Florida. It certainly wasn't normal in temps as we have been coming to Florida (from the Keys to the northern border with Georgia) for 50 years now mainly because we have lots of family down here and we had a place for 19 years in South Florida. They used to grow hundred of thousands of acres of oranges and grapfruits in even the northern half of Florida for many decades. However, those groves are about all gone now and just a memory due to the repeated freezing blasts most years for the last about 20-25 years. Even the big stately palms froze!
Tell the hundreds to thousands of citrus growers who lost it all about the "global warming" and they probably spit in your face and walk away! Now they are calling it climate change and it doesn't really matter as the damage has already been done! Just get ready for the next ice age should you live long enough!
silversand, we also froze our behinds off in Florida this year and several other recent years and YES, most of the time was living in our RV! Thank goodness it's a Carriage because the poorer insulated RV owners told us they couldn't even get theirs up to 60F inside many nights.
Even my Bro near West Palm beach and the Ocean and his Daughter over on the Gulf side about 30 miles north of Ft Meyers froze their behinds this winter. We vividly remember 18 degrees on Christmas morning at Clewiston (south side of big very shallow Lake Okeechobee) in the late 90's and it was a balmy 28 degrees on the north side of WPB and yes we saw actual snow in the air and have the pics to prove it.
