Well, that’s it we’re done for. As much as the saying is “when Hell freezes over” it might include places that have scorching temperatures at some times during the year. So what are we to think now that Florida is freezing over? Freezing and sub-freezing temps are expected for North and North-Central Florida and there is a prediction of up to 8 inches of snow in the Florida Panhandle and a state of emergency has been declared.
Do we blame this on climate change or what?
I even found a photo with snow in Florida and what it looks like

I guess the cold weather outside that has closed parts of Interstate 10 in Louisiana from the Texas border through New Orleans is related to the weather patterns around the world.

@Juliaacv I was used to minus temps when I lived in Latvia but then the house had heating etc. Now I was hoping to warm my bones, This is outrageous and today's news 10 inches fell in the Florida Panhandle

It's a trip. I am certain climate change has something to do with it.

If you and the kitties decide to build a snowman, please be careful... I hope you don't need to go anywhere until the snow is gone.

@RasmaSandra I will keep the invitation to come stay with us open, just in case you change your mind. 
I stay in the shade, especially during Missouri's HOT Summers. I've had skin cancer once and prefer not to have that again. It wasn't fun.

@DaddyEvil we are keeping as warm as possible, I am not venturing out since freezing rain came down today. I will probably be the only one to stand in the broiling sun during the summer to get as much heat into my bones as I can.

Yes, it's Climate change that is seen everywhere. Places that were supposed to be cold and freezing here have got short and comparatively warmer winter this time. And those that are supposed to be warm are having low temperatures. Nothing on the predictable lines.
Stay warm.

If You remember right when the south got this kind of
winter a while back when they had a # of major wrecks
on the freeway, cause they hardly ever get this kind
of weather & they freak out & not prepare for it.

There is a bigger probability that all of these are happening due to climate change. If we look across the globe , the summers were really hot and winters were bit harsh. There were places which ideally receive less rain got heavy rains including the desert regions. Again , the regions which used to get moderate rain got heavy rains. I am surprised about the snow and cold conditions in Florida. Conidering all these , it is fair to believe the climate change should be the reason behind all these. I hope there is some solution to put in place for climate challenges and hope thats quick. Take care!

@RevivedWarner well as much as humans suffer I so feel sorry for the animals because they just don't understand what is happening

@shaggin I have a small apartment that I rent in a two-story house, When I returned to the US I came to Florida to live above my best friend from 6th grade, Then she passed away and I stayed. Her husband and three sons live below me.

@shaggin yes, it has happened in the past but I think it is getting worse, Whatever the case might be with no central heating and a space heater in one room I will be glad when the temp go up again.

It sn*wed and was 10F in Jacksonville when I was stationed there in 1981. Rarity, but it does happen.
