Florida braces for frost and possible snow flurries as winter storms hit other parts of the US
Florida faces record-breaking cold with wind chill as low as 8 degrees and a 10-20% chance of Gulf-effect snow flurries mainly along the Gulf Coast, officials said.
- Saturday, Florida faces record-setting cold with temperatures dipping into the 20s near Lake Okeechobee, while Tampa Bay has a 10 to 20 percent chance of light snowfall with no accumulation.
- A giant cyclone in the Atlantic is drawing cold air east, as a cold front that moved through earlier this week pulls Arctic blast from Canada into the Eastern Seaboard and the Carolinas, creating blizzard threats.
- Zoo keepers are preparing animals with heaters and blankets, moving reptiles indoors, while invasive iguanas face high mortality and manatees gather at warm-water outflows of about a dozen power plants.
- Despite the cold, Tampa will go ahead with Gasparilla on Saturday, and the Tampa Bay Lightning will face the Boston Bruins Sunday at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' home NFL stadium; most theme parks and zoos stay open, but water parks close.
- The deep freeze is already causing power outages across the South, with thousands without power as windchill may make northern Mississippi feel as cold as minus 5 degrees Fahrenheit.
