Bit Chilly Out There

I love it when it the local media over-exaggerates the news. An example is the cold snap South Florida is experiencing this weekend. You would think from hearing them jump and scream that we never get cold weather here.

Fact is, this weekend's temperatures, while indeed the coldest we've seen so far this winter, doesn't measure up to many cold snaps from the 70's and 80's. We're expected to see lows in the lower 40's both tonight and tomorrow night, with even colder temperatures away from the city. Pretty nippy by our standards, but nothing we don't see at least a couple of times a year. Actually, most of us welcome the cool weather. Freezing temperatures are expected to stay north and west of the metro areas, so crops should make out OK.

Keep watching the "26th Parallel Weather" temperature icon over on the right side bar and see how low we can go this weekend.
