Re: Does being waterfront help with how cold it gets for frost protection?
It definitely helps being near the water. I'm behind the dike that surrounds Lake Okeechobee. It's such a large body of water that it's effect are felt over quite a long distance. The most important thing about being on a lake in Florida is to be on the south and east shores. Most of our cold weather comes from the northwest so you want the wind blowing over the lake first. My workplace is about 4 miles from the lakeshore and it is generally 6 degrees colder than my house which is on the lakeshore.
