The northern end is the warmer end.  The north wind blows right over Charlotte Harbor before arriving at my location.  It's the same setup as Anna Maria Island with respect to Tampa Bay.  Anna Maria is warmer than Longboat Key further south.

I just snooped around the USF COMPS Marine station data and see that on the 1/5/01 radiational "freeze" Anna Maria only dropped to 41F.  As a relative reference, the Tampa AP logged 33F.

With the vicious winds of 1/24/03, this same station on Anna Maria still shows a bit warmer (32F) than the Tampa AP (28F).  On advective events, it looks like about half of the benefit of water was lost (not accounting for latitude differences).

Time to start winter planning Bobby!

I am doing so as we speak with various additions to the protection arsenal to help sustain my yard in the event that Armageddon arrives riding an icy horse
