Current forecast has us between 30-33 for tonight and dry.

Lucky for you. Already raining here. Now, just hope it stays above freezing.

Here's a picture from Yucaipa, which normally gets cold, but note how nice those queen palms are (were)!

No freezes in our 5 day. So far the Ocala area has gotten down to about 30 I think but no freezes at my locale as papayas and bananas only have minor cosmetic damage. Im hoping for this to be the 3rd straight year without a hard freeze in my 9a location! OTOH mosquitos, lubbers, and other insects have been worse than I can ever remember!

Kailua, Oahu HI. Near the beach but dry!

Still have a garden in Zone 9a Inland North Central Florida (Ocala)

30 and above and most stuff is ok :) below that the damage is exponential for each degree

This year wasn't even close to last year. Only went below freezing for 1 night at 27 F. Last year bottomed out at 21.

Chad, you are right on that. Even though I dropped a few degrees lower to 24, this is all in all nearly a normal winter. Of course, I am knocking on wood as I type this, but if we nothing more but a few mild freezes this will be a great winter.

I took the brunt for you guys....you can thank me later....

David Simms zone 9a on Highway 30a

200 steps from the Gulf in NW Florida

30 ft. elevation and sandy soil

Nothing remarkable for mid-winter here. Upper 30s (very briefly one night) then two nights in the low 40s. Lowest high was upper 50s. The cold front we had in the first half of November 2014 was as strong or stronger.

42F is still my low for the season, albeit on three separate occasions.

Brevard County, Fl

Here's another 2015 surprise... snow flurries in Jacksonville, FL 1-8. Nothing accumulated and all melted as it hit the ground. We bottomed out around 28 for an overnight low. Pretty cool though.
