ruskinPalms Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 29 to 30 at a lot of weather stations in north port and port charlotte FL areas. I think there are a couple IPS members from that area. Any frost/freeze reports? Parrish, FL Zone 9B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric in Orlando Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Only down to 38F here, the same as the night before. There was a wide range of predicted temperatures depending on the source, from 31-37. Alan, how cold has your Jakfruit tolerated? We planted one here at Leu Gardens in spring 2000 and it is about 20ft now. Back in Jan 2003 we had 27F and it made the leaves fall off and it lost a few inches off the top but that was it.

tikitiki Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 (Trópico @ Jan. 30 2007,07:30)QUOTEWarmer than forecasted, I estimate about 38ºF. Moderate frost (car, roof). I should have left more stuff outside. I'm glad we all can say this instead of the alternative. I woke up at 5:00am and it was 42f. I don't believe I got below 40 at all.

spockvr6 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 As usual, it looks like St. Pete Albert Whitted AP was the warm spot at 46F, with the Clearwater AP not far behind at 44F. Even Vandenberg AP in a notorious cold pocket out east only dropped to 35F. Larry Palm Harbor, FL 10a / Ft Myers, FL 10b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redant Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 My temps just like the previous morning, 47 at the house 45/44 around town. I pulled all my ultra-tropical seedlings into my storage room last night.

ruskinPalms Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Not the greatest rebound in temps today due to layer of clouds. Only back to 55 so far. I can't complain though as these clouds saved me last night. And they are welcome to stick around for tonight too. Parrish, FL Zone 9B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicehunter2000 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I have a theory...........if I cover everything in blankets it doesn't freeze. Not that I am complaining (just coming to grips with this new found power over the elements). It didn't freeze here, although it was heading that way quick last night...........THANK YOU CLOUDS!

SoLando Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Bottomed out at 40 here - did not expect that!! Still grossly chilly. Only about 55. GREAT hair day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_Tampa Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Eric, 2003 it was 6 ft tall or so, but I built a "shelter" around it, measured only 32+-1F under it, last year it had ice on it and did not like it at all. Look at the my photobucket page -ashobert. I measured 31F or so under the tree last year -no trouble except the icy top part mentioned prior. Only iced leaves defoliated, some small branch damage - very minor. Alan Tampa, Florida Zone - 10a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyFl Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Whewwww ::big sigh of relief:: We touched 40, but that was it. Neighbors saw our big blue tent-thing and were inspired to cover some of their plants, but down the street, no one covered the foxies, bottles, adonidia or the beautiful large-ish lutescens. Now I see that Pinellas Park only got down to 43 - we're usually warmer than PP, wonder what happened to my microclimate ??? Sheesh, we got down to as low as Orlando, hm, whazzup wit dat? The blue tent has been taken down, but I still have over 50 plants in my house - great to have 'em in here where I can enjoy them St. Pete Zone - a wacked-out place between 9b & 10 Elevation = 44' - not that it does any good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyinNY Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 The blue tent has been taken down, but I still have over 50 plants in my house - great to have 'em in here where I can enjoy them Even though it's alot of work to move them around, Sunny.. It's better to be safe than sorry.... I do the same thing in late October when the temps start dropping, before I put up my greenhouse...
