Isn't it the other way around? The Canadians are invading S. Fla about this time of the year? The snow birds brought it with them this time.

The yearly migration of Canadians to South Florida this year created a vacuum below Lake Ochechobee. In effect, sucking the cold air from the north down to the south. Blame it on Canada!

LOL! Blame Canada! Blame Canada! haha.

I think if we take out Canada though, we can leave the west coast (IE Vancouver). Its pretty warm there, and there is quite a good number of palms being grown all over the place. In fact, the thing that got me into cold hardy palms was a trip to Seattle and Vancouver about 11 years ago. When I got to both cities, I was SHOCKED to find palm trees a pretty common sight, especially in Vancouver. Palm trees in Canada???? And thats how the zone pushing / cold hardy palms/ tropicals/sub tropicals started for me. Palms in general, well I have been into those since I was a baby. In fact, my first ever very own "plant" was a European Fan Palm when I was very very young. Man I wish I still had it. It would be HUGE by now.

I don't know. Seems to me if we take out Toronto and Montreal, we gotta take out the whole thing. We can truck any palms down to my place for safe keeping. Why can't we use any of the left over TARP money to buy some warmer weather. That's what I want to know. :blink:
