I moved to Florida in 1988. For Christmas of 1989 temperatures got down to almost 0. I told my sister that day that if it snows I'd go back to Wisconsin so at least when I froze to death, I'd be with family. It didn't snow that time and has not threatened to snow in central Florida since, until yesterday. I understand that Winter Haven had "small hail" that some thought might have been snow but from the description, I'd say it was actually sleet. Glad I did not see it cause I might have had to move back up north. At least we have sun today. Temp has warmed up to 41 by 2:00. But this morning when I got up this is what my frog pond looked like, didn't find my thermometer until it was above freezing, so I don't know how cold it did get last night, but it was still 37 at noon.
Florida frogs are not smart enough to bury themselves to hibernate. I've found at least 5 frozen frogs and I don't think they'll be able to thaw out for a while. Some of them were found by predators. Who ever found them just took their heads and didn't bother with the rest of the body. I won't take pics of those because I think they are gross.
This could possibly be the culprit but he was fishing in the pond that was too big to freeze.
