After almost two solid weeks of temperatures in the 40s (and below freezing in some areas, apparently we brought it back with us from Ohio), our normal Florida “winter” weather returned today. Yes, it was finally back in the 70s … I was able to eat lunch outside in the sun and even cook up some chicken on the grill for dinner out on the lanai. I saw a lot of brown grass and dying plants on the way home from work today. We’ll be hearing a lot of about the long-lasting effects of that weather on the state’s produce and wildlife in the days to come, I’m sure.
Looks like quite a few of our tropical plants took a hit from the cold weather:
Some of the palms look bad too. We’ll have to wait and see how they fare.
