We have friends who retired to Bonita Springs and my parents were in Bradenton for many years so we have some familiarity with weather vagaries. DW looked at the 15 day forecast on weather. dot com and saw highs in the low 50's and said I'd better get the real story  |
It's one of those cold fronts that is reaching down from those northern storms. We have those off and on. Unfortunately, your DW looked at the forecast during one of those fronts.
I spent six winters in Key West. Can't get much father south in the eastern US than that. While there was never frost, there were a couple of winter seasons when 70 degree temperature was a rarity. And high winds causing cooler wind chill temps. It's variable in FL, but a heckuva lot warmer than Michigan, where we had spent 25 years before moving here.
