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!

Most of them are now using the large circulating fans similar to the
California vineyards. They keep cold pockets from forming in the
hollows.

Central Florida gets freezing weather down as far as Lake Okeechobee
and a bit beyond.

What does that have to do with global warming? :)
