Homestead’s Coldest Morning In 12 Years !

It was (unofficially) the coldest morning in nearly a dozen years this morning, as Homestead ARB FL dropped down to a bonechilling 35°F / 2°C at 6 AM and 7 AM. We haven’t seen a temperature that low since the South Florida Freeze Of January 1996 (unconfirmed).

Homestead ARB was in the 30s for about 8 hours this morning, and in the 40s for an additional 8 hours.

Here in my living room the temperature bottomed out at a near record low of 61°F (at about the same time that it was 35°F outside). I didn’t bother turning on my ‘heater’ overnight. 61°F is generally about 16 degrees below the normal year-round temperature of 77°F in my living room.

The abnormal cold spell is pretty much done and over with, as early-morning temperatures tomorrow are expected to be 15 to 20 degrees less cold than they were this morning. Afternoon high temperatures back up in the mid-to-upper-70s (approaching 80°F) return on Saturday for at least a week. It’s what we expect aqui en el Sur de Florida !

It’s that setting on my thermostat where when I turn it on (once every few years) I smell something on fire (dust burning from the coils).

Make sure that you don’t hurt your health with a heater.

Last time I used one was in NYC 40 years ago. Did not know that they had those here.
