Florida’s Cold Snap
WOW! Coming off a very cold weekend here in Central Florida. Starting Friday night until Sunday night, it has been unusually cold. On Saturday, many parts of Central Florida even saw snow! Snow in Florida?!?! I know, its crazy. Most of Central Florida did see sleet and experience frozen water puddles and definitely cold temperatures.
Saturday was the Half marathon at Disney and Sunday was the Mickey’s Marathon. The high on Saturday reached a chilling 48 degrees. It has been reported that Sunday’s marathon starting temperature was a bone chilling 28 degrees. But it didn’t stop people from running in Disney’s Premier race.
The cold blast drove Florida manatees into Blue Springs State Park for a warm water temperature of 72 degrees. That temperature stays the same all year round, helping the manatees stay warm during the winter months. Many people braved the cold temperatures on Saturday to get a glimpse of God’s Gentle Creatures at the State Park.
Now while the weekend is over, doesn’t mean the cool temperatures are gone just yet. Central Florida will continue to see cooler temps with a slight warmup on Friday.
