Default Six most common winterizing screw-ups

It snowed once or twice in NE Florida when we lived there. Overnight temps
in the 30s and once in a while in the 20s were not rare in December and
January.



Snow is unheard of further south in Jupiter where we were. In the three
winters we spent there, I recall *one* unusually cold morning that left very
light frost on the windshield of my car ... until about 8 am. A few "cold"
nights in mid winter with temps in the mid 40's were more the norm, warming
back up to 70 degrees by 10 am.

Chuck's Boat US report citing that all 50 states can have below freezing
temps is no doubt correct, but I don't know of anyone in the southern parts
of Florida that winterize a boat.

In fact, I think you would be considered nuts.
