Protect your garden from the cold
With freezing temperatures expected across parts of Central Florida, it's important to remember to protect cold-sensitive plants.
The next best chance for some rain and dropping temps appears to be late week into next weekend. As of right now, forecast models paint a fairly wet picture as a cold rain settles in.
Some of the reliable global forecast models are painting a snowy picture as close as Central and southern Georgia. While this is certainly subject to change, it's a possibility that needs to be monitored!
