No, it is very unusual to have such low temps especially this early in the year. Apparently we broke some 50 year old records. And my farm is just east of a very large body of water. It's been a troubling past 2 years with freezes. Florida tends to go through freeze cycles and every few decades we will have several freezes year after year. In the late 70s it snowed in Miami and then there were harsh freezes several times in the 80s culminating in the 89 freeze which destroyed the citrus industry. It actually froze my pool as a kid. After that there were only 2 minor freezes until 2009.
