It happens sometimes. Go hide under your bed till it warms up to your liking...It’s still not a typical winter when parts of Florida are getting below 32F
All I can do is cover the crowns. They survive.
The lowest they are predicting here is 26°F. Historically it's been much, much colder. We had 1°F 2-3 years back.
My grape plants are covered with straw, held in place with chicken wire and 6 inches of snow. It’s going to be 0 F this weekend. Fingers crossed.

I don’t need to hide, because I am used to snow and cold weather. My point is that not every city can deal with it. I can see you are another clueless oneIt happens sometimes. Go hide under your bed till it warms up to your liking...

Whilst I was heading to the beach yesterday - wound up behind state trucks spraying the causeway (CaCl2 ?) - later saw more bridges they hit …
I know some places still use sand on bridges - but they don’t carry huge volumes of salt down here …

On the bright side it makes for amusing dash cam videos when half an inch of snow falls.
You kids stop this bickering over the weather hahahaha. It seems we get these extremely cold spells for about 2 weeks every January and I am totally used to dealing with it. Heated garage, plenty of food, 2 four wheel drive vehicles and a newer snowblower. Bring it on!
It’s all part of winter.
Very few cities can deal with every type of adversity that is thrown in their way..I don’t need to hide, because I am used to snow and cold weather. My point is that not every city can deal with it. I can see you are another clueless one
I think you should hide. You sure don't act like you are used to it....

I am definitely used to it. I just think it’s a stupid thing to tell people to just “deal with it” when it’s out of their control. If their city doesn’t plow the streets or put salt down, please tell me how those residents are just going to deal with it? They need to get to work, but yet their roads will be dangerous and you can’t expect them to just drop $1000 on snow tires at a moment’s notice either.Very few cities can deal with every type of adversity that is thrown in their way..

The meteorologists in Colorado have gone from a trace of snow to no snow yesterday to 4-10" by tomorrow evening in three days.If you liked the “ Arctic Pipeline” last week, you’re going to love the “ Polar Vortex “ later this week and next. Freezing temps are forecast to reach Houston. We’re going to get it west of the Canadian Rockies as well this time. Seattle will probably freeze. It’s supposed to be 19 F in Washington DC the morning of the inauguration.
As you say it, "being out of one's control", you prepare and deal with it. You are not going to change it. You sound like someone who has been coddled all your life.
Anything else is just being a whiner. Stop being a whiner....
Hate to admit this….
But even in my area where there is a decent amount of of snow removal trucks etc etc…,
We had a 1-2 inch snowstorm in January 2000 that created 800 accidents in the Hampton Roads area… Caused massive back ups and delays etc etc etc…
And we have way, way more equipment than say Atlanta Georgia or New Orleans or Montgomery Alabama.
I believe there is a good, good chance of snow and ice along the Gulf coast northeast through the Atlantic coast next week..
This pattern is similar to the one from January 2018 when winter weather hit in northern Florida into Georgia and Isle of Palm SC had 5 inches of snow there…
