That's true but there was a hard freeze in Palm Beach back in the mid
80s. I had friends living there at the time and a lot of landscaping
was damaged. That could have potentially damaged a non-winterized boat
stored out of the water. The Tampa area gets freezing weather at least
several times every winter.

Yeah, Tampa's record cold day was 18 degrees. That's cold enough that it could cause
damage.

What surprises me more about Florida's weather, isn't the cold, it's the heat. I lived in Miami a
couple of years, and it would be in the low nineties almost daily in the summer, or at least it
seemed so, but Miami has *never* reached 100 degrees. That just seems odd to me.

It's the proximity of the ocean. It absorbs an incredible amount of
heat. And in the winter, releases it.
