It is Freezing down here in Florida At 9pm it is 31 degrees and it will be down to 18 in the morning. Last night it was below freezing for over 6 hours. I went into my plastic covered shade house it get down close to freezing in there last night but the high was 39 today. I am hoping the small heater that I have in there and the buckets filled with water and the 3 100 watt lights I just put out there will keep it warm enough . It will be back down to 31 degrees tomorrow night. This is very odd weather for Florida. Keep your fingers crossed that everything rides it out.
