At least for us. We haven’t seen a frost since 2015, which was the year before we left North Florida for the Caribbean.
It’s thirty degrees out right now as I type. I braved the cold a few minutes ago and took my Canon 80D out to the garden to capture a few images.

We left a plastic bin of water sitting by the back door so the children could see if it froze. It did! Look at the lovely ice crystals:
Though I miss the tropics sometimes, I do enjoy seeing the change of seasons again. Even if it’s a bit cold for my equatorial blood.
Tonight is supposed to get even colder. We’ll see how the garden comes through.
