Central Florida...We broke a 100 year old record last week when we hit 23 degrees. Many plants were too big to be covered, so the plant nurseries will do well this spring. Most of the older homes do not have heaters, unless they've been updated. In our five year old home, we have a heat pump which generally works fine, but at 23, it just isn't very efficient. This is not a complaint, just explaining. I'm happy to not have snow (grew up near Lake Erie, so I know all about THAT) and do not rub it in the noses of my northern relatives. Our summers are brutally hot and humid...sort of like walking out into an oven & makes it hard to breathe. So there is payback of a sort, if that makes anyone feel better.
