Daughter's front yard Dec 2009

I am a bit late in posting this. My daughter's van caught fire from faulty wiring this past Dec and caught the tree it was parked under on fire also. The temps dropped so low the water the firemen sprayed the tree with froze as it dripped from the tree top down through the branches. Most ppl think of Florida as being tropical, always sunny and warm with ppl running around in bathing suits sipping colados. That isnt true, the weather in this part of Florida (North Florida)  is extremely cold in the winter and smothering, smoldering, stiffling hot in the summer. We rarely have  Spring or Fall, just go from blistering hot to freezing cold.
