Re: been in Florida to long
26 degrees at 7am here just north of you in Central FL. No wind, so it was actually quite nice. Had to run out and check the guest house, RV and new investment house that's under construction for frozen pipes. The well pipes froze a bit at the construction site because no one insulated the pipes, but no damage. I went ahead and insulated it myself this morning. Should have thought of that yesterday.
Lost power for an hour while they replaced a bad transformer across the street. First time in 4 years my generator has had to kick in.
Now at 11am it's 47 degrees. Going to hit the porch for a cigar.

Wait...what? I though you guys in Florida would consider a cold temperature anything below 60F.

Was in Tallahassee this weekend, freezing and windy on Saturday morning. Had a tour of FSU scheduled at 8am, we walked away after like 5 minutes 
Didn't really need it, been there before.

we lost power like 6 time for a couple of mins to 5 mins or longer last night -it sucked my printer in are bedroom and it keep rebooting .finely got up at like 4:30 and pulled the plug on it and are Alexa in the living room . then stayed up till like 6:00 or 6:30 am it was happening all over my area in pasco county. even my cell service was out for a while this morning .at about 6am we had enough and tried calling the electric. what a joke this turned out to be . at first the cell was dead then could only get a prerecorded service were you just press 1-4 on your key pad to report what type of problem . like line down or down telephone pole .nothing quite fit for are type of power outage .did drop down to about 32 or 33 degrees last night and we were lucky the winds subsided from were they had been the last 24 hours with gusts upwards of 25 -35 mph .they were more like 5-15 all night . today we got up to about 54 degree in tampa at my daughters and sunny .this was a major improvement from the last 24 to 48 hours ! tomorrow is said to be back around 70 for a high .
