Our roof is normally black .
Our lemons look like they survived.
At 8 AM - Lulu and I woke up to 30 degrees and dry ground. The predicted overnight snowfall of 2 inches that had closed all the schools today was a bluff.
As we prepared breakfast - Lulu looked out the window to see a relatively heavy snow fall - I ran for the camera - but not fast enough. In a couple minutes it slowed to flurries and then nothing. Up north - we would not even call this a dusting. But in Florida - even if it is only Tallahassee - it is a big deal. We have been here almost 15 years now - and we have only seen snow maybe 3 or 4 times. Nothing has ever stuck because the ground is about 50 degrees.
Last night as a precaution I drained the water tanks on the camper. I put a little electric heater inside the camper on a very low setting. I remember using a light bulb in Pennsylvania when it got down to minus 20 degrees - to keep an oil line from freezing going to the oil furnace.
We have experienced 20 degrees here quite a few times in the winter since we lived her - but in the day time the temperature would shoot up to the 50s or 60s.
This cold snap has Lulu looking for cheap travel deals to go south - Costa Rico - Cuba - etc. She has a bunch of "Delta Bucks" to spend from our bumps going to London last summer.
My Realtor friend Lena Seiler has officially reported that Florida will rebuild. Plenty of bargains are available for abandoned homes.
The camper sits behind the normally black garage roof.
If you look hard against the pine tree you can see snowflakes.
Is that white stuff accumulation? My Northern buddies would slap me if I called this snow.
Our Camilla tree still has flowers
The sidewalk is about 50 degrees - so snow melted right away.
The camper has a small electric heater inside. The water tanks are drained.
The kitchen lights at 8 AM - under a snow covered roof. The roof has a foot of foam insulation.
