According to the Weatherunderground radar there is snow and freezing
rain about 60 miles north of here near Sarasota. That does not bode
well for a good beach day tomorrow.

The iceman cometh Wayne. For you and Greg, that's most rare, but temporary though...

Since we both live on the water, and the water is still around 70
degrees or so, that is an extremely unlikely event. Greg's water is
exceedingly skinny however and consequently holds less heat. On the
other hand, he's a tad farther south. Inland from here it happens
once in a while, and also 20 or 30 miles to the north. As you drive
north a short distance there is a very noticable change in the
predominant vegetation as you cross the frost line.
Before my dad went into the service in 1943, he got a job in Tampa
working in a ship yard as an apprentice electrician. When he got off the
train in Tampa Fl. it was snowing.
Rare, but it happened.
My wife and family moved to Houston for a couple years in the early 60's.
She got a frozen radiator on the car. I guess in those days, they did not
run antifreeze in all the cars, especially in the South.
