Escape to Florida? Not so fast

Snow got you down? Thinking of a Florida getaway? Think twice. The sunshine state is cold. And when it's in the 30s or 40s, or even the 50s in Florida, it really feels cold. Here are some news reports from the subtropics.

There were freeze warnings overnight in South Florida. Farmers scrambled to protect their crops, and lows in the 20s were expected in Orlando and Daytona Beach.  West Palm expected 39 degrees early this morning.

They were scraping the ice off windshields this morning in East Manatee.

On the other hand, Floridians weren't meeting their neighbors unexpectedly in whiteouts like this one in Michigan.

So, just be patient. It will be in the mid-50s here for the next three days. The snow is going to go away. Fast.
