Winter is about 5 days long. Drops to about 75 or so then we're back up
into the 90s around November. One Christmas was 95F. When I was a kid
though, winters used to be quite chilly. So cold in fact that the orange
growers had to keep their trees warm with smudge pots. I remember wearing a
jackt on Halloween most every year. I have not seen a day cold enough for
my breath to fog in easily 20 years.
