Up until Japan started dumping nuclear waste into the Pacific ocean, it was summer, in sunny Florida, with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. Don't think it made the mid 70s today, and its currently a chilly 64 degrees. A little concerned, as I started some tomato plants from seed, and their first set of true leaves have just come in.
I can't remember ever having winter weather this late in the year. Have I been mislead? This seems to be going against the science we've been fed the past several years, so the must be some explanation. I'm pretty sure they've be down-playing the extent of the nuclear disaster in Japan. Kind of looks like the core has burned through all protective layers, and the cooling water has been seeping out for sometime.
Their safety claims of the radioactive Iodine's short half life, seems a little odd, being that it's still going to be radioactive, only half as potent. Nuclear physics wasn't a huge interest of mine in college, so only a vague recollection of these things, but what they have been saying the news, just doesn't match up well with what I do remember. Could be I never really understood, or remembering it a little off, or maybe things have changed over the past couple of decades (it was mostly theory).
Guess it could be just normal and natural climate change, the past couple of winters have been abnormally harsh (killed my Orange tree year before, maybe a Madagascar Palm this past winter). Just kind of seems like something strange is going on.
