does anyone know about deep freezes in florida if you do answer my question.?

Answer 1

I experienced a day in Florida (central, not north-about the same latitude as Disney World) where the temperatures got up to 15 degrees during the day. It was near Christmas, I think in 1989. The power stations in Florida were SO ill-equipped to handle this unexpected low temperature that there was instituted "rolling blackouts" wherein parts of a city would have power for 15 minutes and then lose it in favor of another part of the city for 15 minutes and so on. It was very inconvenient when one is baking for Christmas dinner, and it gets mighty cold in 15 minutes.

Also, if the temperature stays below freezing (around 26-29 degrees F is what I remember) for a set number of hours, the citrus crop is threatened. In the mid-1970's there were a few bad winters (it snowed in central Florida in 1977). This destroyed large parts of the citrus crop.

I couldn't tell you about other deep freezes in Florida, but I was there for these particular ones and remember them well. It doesn't happen often, but is DOES happen.

P.S. A point of interest--it HAS snowed as far south as Homestead, FL (just north of the bridge to the Keys) before: http://www.usatoday.com/weather/resources/climate/2004-12-21-florida-snow_x.htm

Answer 2

It rarely happens in Florida. If you live from Tampa southward, you wont recieve freeze but if you from Tampa northward, you will maybe recieve temps overnight that drops into the low 40's but that is really rare.

Answer 3

it rarely happens in florida and only in the norhtern part of the state
