Subfreezing Florida Nights Turn Sprinklers Into Icicle Makers

January 10, 2010 – The Florida insanely cold freezing weather continues. Overnight, temperatures again fell below the freezing mark for 4-6 hours in many locations, and turning lawn sprinklers into icicle makers as seen in this series of icicles pictures. Wind chill values fell into the teens making it dangerously cold for Central and South Florida, and crops and tropical vegetation once again were under the gun from the freeze threat.

Believe it or not, another round of subfreezing weather forecast tonight for all of Florida. Hard Freeze Warnings extend all the way south into southern peninsular interior counties, including Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Temperatures could fall into the mid 20’s setting up more long durations freezing conditions.

On Saturday, sleet and snow flurries were reports over many locations of north-central and central Florida. There were even a few isolated reports of Flurries in Palm beach, Broward and Miami-Dade, although unconfirmed still as of this post.

January is really showing itself in Florida, and many Floridians are sick of the current pattern and would like some more normal and warmer weather to return. Relief is on the horzion, and by Thursday the warm up should really take hold on the Sunshine State.
