Buuurrrrrrrrrrr

A sizable portion of Mallett Bayou was frozen over this morning. Nowhere near thick enough to walk on, but a sight to see all the same. My neighbor tossed out a fishing lure and it just skipped across the top without breaking through. It resulted in a bit of a fishkill also. It almost looked like a red tide had come in.

I turned on my hose with the nozzle on mist. It left quite the ice formation. 😀

Oh yeah pics!

Oh yeah pics!

was that your cold weather experiment? impressive results! really!

Very cool shot. But I'm most impressed with that gorgeous magnolia tree!! :clap:

Yep, it is still there. Hardly melted all day. Scube suggested using the mister like an air brush. We'll see what happens.

Along with other escaped or released exotics, iguanas have thrived in south Florida. Last time I was in Miami, I saw some huge ones. This from a news story about the cold weather:

"Freeze warnings covered nearly all of Florida with temperatures expected to drop into the 20s overnight. Freezing iguanas were seen falling out of trees in Florida; experts say the cold-blooded reptiles become immobilized when the temperature falls into the 40s and they lose their grip on the tree."

I guess if you have a use for them, or a taste for them, this makes catching them easy. :lol:

I read that, too, this morning. Iguanas falling out of trees. :blink:
We saw lots of iguanas on Boca Grande when we traveled there a few years ago, some quite large. I can't imagine living where iguanas are running loose. But I'd prefer that to living where it drops to 50 below!!:yikes:

Frigid weather hits Midwest, -52 wind chill in ND - Yahoo! News

Jim Cantore was here in Memphis today due to the weather, why, because we have had 3 weather related deaths. :(

The local news says sleet in the morning, but the weather channel says snow. :idontno:

Either way it's supposed to be below freezing around morning drive time. PLEASE BE CAREFUL on the roads tomorrow morning.

What happen to global warming?

Interesting article:
It's cold outside. What happened to global warming? / The Christian Science Monitor - CSMonitor.com

No sane climate scientist would say that global warming means never having another severe cold snap. What it does mean is a gradual shifting of the odds away from record-breaking cold days and toward record-breaking hot ones.
And that's exactly what we're seeing, even though we still get the occasional Arctic blast. The National Center for Atmospheric Research, a nongovernmental research group based in Boulder, Colo., released a report in November showing that, in the continental United States, the ratio of record high temperatures to low temperatures has increased dramatically in recent decades. In the 1950s, the center reports that ratio slightly exceeded 1 to 1, meaning that there were about as many record-breaking cold days as there were hot ones. By the 2000s, there were twice as many record highs as lows. On a warming planet, we'll still get the lows, just not as often.
But what's particularly troubling is that, even though temperatures have been high, the sun has been throwing a little less heat our way lately. According to NASA, we are currently experiencing the lowest solar minimum in nearly a century. Nobody knows when the sun will resume its previous output – in the 17th century, the sun went into a 70-year lull that correlated with cooler temperatures on Earth – and there's a chance that it may never come back.

Does anyone know if queen palms will survive this many cold nights?

Did you mean "happened"?

Although your argument against climate change is very compelling I would have to ask for links to your sources.
