Yup. It has been down to as low as 12-degrees above zero in HI.
In fact, Hawaii is the only state that has never recorded a sub-zero
temperature- 32 or more degrees F below the freezing point of fresh
water.


Now, are all of those low temperatures occuring in places that would
require a boat to be winterized? No.


However, the statement by BoatU.S. is quite literally true; all 50
states experience freezing temperatures.

Don't some of the Florida citrus growers have to run "smudge pot"
heaters, sometimes, to prevent freeze damage to crops?


Especially a few years back when we had global cooling!
