Is there an emoticon for microclimate jealousy? Maybe I should go park a bunch of cars around the shadehouse and let them all idle around the shadhouse overnight!

_Keith 775 Report post Posted January 3, 2008 8:50, 33 degrees, So. Louisiana. Just slightly better than weather channel who had us going to 32 at 9pm. That means I am headed to 26 save for a miracle. But still zone 9b, hehe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tropical1 34 Report post Posted January 3, 2008 9F dew point is insane for central Florida. The weather station on our lake is 35.5F taken about 20 seconds ago. North wind at 5mph. No clouds, no help from the gulf with a north wind. Not good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

galveston1602 1 Report post Posted January 3, 2008 Yeah thanks Keith yall stole our clouds GRR!! they just dropped our fcst from 38-33 Still beter than the 20's they are predicting in Houston but still what does ma nature think this is WINTER? without the clouds (theres no reinforcements coming till the late AM!) we might make 30 in my part of the island... the only thing that might save me would be for the wind to totally stop which isnt likely! Or possibly an abrupt about face to south??? one can dream right? Oh, ive been meaning to ask is an 8 degree dewpoint a bad thing?? Btw Larry, I was looking at your station and holy sheit! it looks like yall are in for a little rougher night than I was hoping for this AM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjff 70 Report post Posted January 3, 2008 I don't know how y'all stand that brutal humidity. Dewpoint here is a sticky 7F! I guess that's better than the 3F we were at this time last night. Lots of clouds tonight, not that it matters at this point, anything that couldn't take the cold would be toast by now anyway. So far the only thing that looks bad are the fronds on the Queen. They are a dull green that I fully expect to become brown when we hit the 70's later this week. Hopefully, it's still alive thanks to the Christmas tree lights and blanket wrapped around the trunk.

bubba 2,395 Report post Posted January 3, 2008 6:36AM EST-40F.No freeze here and by looking at other temp's in Florida it certainly did not look as bad as advertised.That usually is the case but NOAA has liability if they miss low and accordingly they are extremely conservative. The difference in Florida compared to the West is how quickly we normally heat up.That I think is the key factor between survive and flourish.Good luck to all and I hope things were good at your house and palms/plants!
