A few years ago a friend called and said they would be traveling from their upstate New York home to central Florida in February. We immediately invited them to stay with us again. I warned them that the temperatures could be quite cool here. They expressed surprise that we had central heating!
When the arctic blasts send waves of snow and cold air to our neighbors to the north, we often get the blustery north winds ourselves. A 25 mph north wind and a wind chill of 43 degrees can sound balmy when you are experiencing below zero wind chill factors yourself, but it is hardly the weather featured in Florida tourism advertising and on postcards.
Here are some recent photographs from hikes taken locally and during our travels:
