It's Armageddon I tell you.

Oklahoma is the new Arizona and Florida is the new Oklahoma. In a few years, people will go to Fargo for their hot summers and great swimming.

I mostly worry about my grapefruit tree.
I have spent years developing my tree which produces exactly 36C size grapefruit.
It's kinda fun to harvest them.

I used to live in Clearwater and we had a grapefruit tree in our backyard, but I don't think it was producing 36C's before I left. It was neat to walk out in the back yard and pick your breakfast off the tree in the morning....
I bet the tree will be fine OUFLA.

Christmas Eve, 1989 I walked out of Pinellas Square Mall in St. Pete to see light snow falling. Just tiny little flakes but it was definitely snow. Later that night I picked up a couple that had flown in from Nebraska to spend the holidays with us. It was 24 degrees when I got to the Tampa Airport. They said not to worry, it was 50 degrees warmer than what they left. The entire country was frozen that Christmas.

You had to know it was going to happen

The news reported this morning that someone called in and said they had seen "a" snowflake!

Probably gonna sell it on ebay.

It has actually snowed here. In '77 it blanketed the ground. People around here thought the world was ending.

OUinFla - be glad you still have a grapefruit tree.

In 2001, the state cut down my prized orange tree. That tree produced hundreds of oranges.

It probably wouldn't have survived Wilma, any way.

Two weeks ago, we had a light flurry for about 5 minutes in Crestview, Florida (panhandle). If we had not been looking out the window at work worrying about tornado-like-clouds, we would've missed it.
