January 6, 2010 - Floridians woke up to another morning of well below normal cold weather here in South Florida. Temperatures hovered around 30°F for several hours this morning, with wind chill reading in the lower 20’s over interior counties. This arctic intrusion into tropical Southern Florida, is expected to continue into the weekend, with yet another surge of very cold temperatures. Also, another night tonight of freezing weather is in store for Florida with temps about the same, or even possibly a little colder if the winds can go light. In the following short video segment, you’ll see the frost covered windshields, car’s, house rooftops and lawns from this morning at sunrise.
Northern Florida is really seeing some sub-freezing temperatures as well over long durations the last few nights. Here is a pool in Pensacola, FL with a layer of ice on the surface, with a coffee mug locked into place from the ice. Thanks to Twitter follower @PADRE2425 for sharing this photo with us. Northern Florida and the Panhandle region will continue to see very cold weather conditions again tonight with temps falling into the lower 20’s again. It definitely has been impressive seeing all the records being broken, and recorded low high during the days, and lows at night. Look for this to continue.
Florida crops are also being greatly affected by all this cold air, and there likely has been damage to some varieties of vegetations, including oranges, sugarcane, tropical plants, palm tree’s, and sod fields. Local interior farms still have several nights of threatening weather to contend with, and more possible for next week as well for South and Central Florida locations. So, the start of January 2010 is turning out to be one heck of a cold beginning to the new year for Floridians and retirees down from up north for the Winter season. Stay warm folks!!
A few more pictures of frosty scenes from Okeechobee City, Florida this morning at sunrise.

January 5, 2010 – Don’t be fooled by this picture, it’s been in the mid 50’s all day here in South Florida, and freezing temperatures are expected later tonight. The picture shows a misleading scene of a nice warm looking sun with coconut palms, but cold northwesterly winds continued to filter in well below normal cold weather for not only South Florida, but the entire state. Late afternoon hours on Tuesday had a range of temperatures from the lower 40’s in the Florida Panhandle, to the mid and upper 40’s in Central Florida. Even at 3pm, the temp in Key West, FL was 59°F.
The National Weather Service in Miami, FL issued earlier this afternoon, a Freeze Warning for metro Southeast Florida counties that include Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Temperatures are expected to fall near or at the freezing mark in the western suburbs of South Florida. Further north into Central Florida, there are Hard Freeze Warnings in place, as tonight’s low’s are forecasted to fall below 32°F for many hours. This will likely produce crop damage, and make for dangerous cold conditions for residents.
This will make for the third cold night in a row, and the coldest of the week in Florida. More possible arctic weather is on the horizon for Florida next week if the computer forecast models pan out.
