I was used to much colder winters before moving to Tampa, Florida.
I was a snowbird at first, a transplant from the northern midwest who would drive down in early December when rapidly changing temperatures in my household state would plummet below cold.
By then I might have a blizzard at least once after Fall advances into winter, but it was almost a guarantee that rapidly changing temperatures would get into the teens at least once during this time. That cold weather gets more noticeable with age, as well as I’m not exactly sure why. Count that was one among several reasons you see a lot of retirees moving down south to many coastal cities in Florida like Tampa, Sarasota, Naples, Miami, as well as Pensacola. However, people come down here in the winter as well as expect there to be beach weather. That’s not a acceptable expectation. While there are fantastic beaches in the Tampa Bay area, you could show up in the middle of December with 30 degree rapidly changing temperatures as well as find yourself harshly disappointed. My buddy and I had a particular ly cold winter this year in Tampa, Florida. I was driving down interstate 77 headed south to Palmetto when I heard on the boombox that rapidly changing temperatures would hit 30 degrees the following day. I thought my friend and I might entirely get snowflakes this time, but my friend and I didn’t. My buddy living in Ocala said his thermometer outside read 28 degrees at one point but they didn’t get snow flurries either. While it might seem impossible, this entirely happened on December 19, 1971 when Tampa had several inches of snow on the ground, covering rooftops as well as automobiles.
