Cold Winter Weekend Ahead on Sanibel and Captiva Beaches!

Brrrr!

We are still in Florida, right?  So it seems… however, we are to expect 30 degree Fahrenheit night lows for the next 5 days… Wow!

As the whole nation goes through a deep freeze, Florida is no exception and obviously, there are real concerns out there for citrus crops, people not prepared for the cold weather and of course, our natural habitat, animals included.

Even our beloved Manatees are swimming for their survival to warmer waters!

Here is a snippet from the City of Sanibel’s website:

The City of Sanibel encourages you to take the following cold weather precautions this weekend:

• Bring pets inside a covered area
• Bring potted plants inside and cover outdoor plants
• Do not use charcoal or gas grills inside; they produce deadly carbon monoxide fumes
• Check on your neighbors, friends, and relatives to make sure that they are prepared for the colder weather
• Do not use extension cords if you are using electric heaters and be sure to keep the heaters away from curtains and other flammable items
• Dress warmly in layers, if you will be outside for extended periods
• Monitor local media to stay current with weather conditions

So, bundle up and stay warm this weekend!

Everything will be fine, we are supposed to start warming up again mid-next week, so hang tight!

Until next week, have a great one!
