From The Florida Arctic
It’s tough typing in mittens, but the gloves aren’t warm enough. Fortunately I still have some winter gear, unlike many people in the area.
The temperature started dropping after midnight and leveled off at around 27°F at sunrise. It was above freezing in late morning and early afternoon, if you ignored the windchill, which you couldn’t. The air temperature dropped below freezing again around 6PM and is headed for 20° or lower by sunrise tomorrow.
I spent some of my time telling the people in the apartments my Mother manages to remember to leave the water dripping tonight so the pipes won’t freeze. Hopefully that will help, because plumbers are going to be busy tomorrow.
It looks like we will be in freeze conditions until Thursday, but the winds are forecast to taper off.
