February Florida Freeze Photos


Paul The Palm Doctor!

Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I've been curious to see how the various landscape palms are looking north (and west) of Lake Okeechobee a few days after this latest freeze/near freeze February 20-22 cold wave in Florida. :unsure: Any post event photos would be of interest to fellow members of this Forum.

Thanks to all!

Paul
