Apparently they pass out in the cold temperatures. The announcer said iguanas aren't native to Florida, but have established themselves there, having been bought as pets and then escaped or been released. Obviously, the iguanas didn't know that "global warming" was gonna make them freeze their asses off. Ed

The Manatees and Green Turtles are suffering from the cold, as well and they have both been in Florida for a long time. Tree Frogs are always falling out of trees, but they are tiny and won't hurt as much as an Iguana if they hit you. :) They are still calling for some snow in Ocala tonight which will be interesting if it sticks. There isn't a snow plow within 500 miles, or any road salt. -- Greed is the root of all eBay.

But some weather forecasters predicted this well in advance, Piers Corbyn, for example. What does he know that the Met Office doesn't? It's the sun stupid. Other forecasters as well such as The Weather Outlook, Accuweather, netweather. Cold last year, cold this year and a solar minimum. Must be a Hale winter. Funnily enough Wikipedia doesn't have an entry for this. They happen every 2 solar cycles, and 1940, 1963, 1985 were cold winters. 1963 was the coldest in the UK for a 200 year period. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/jan/05/coldest-winters-britain-snow /quote It was 1963 that had the distinction of being the coldest winter for more than 200 years � cold enough, in fact, for the sea to freeze in places such as Poole in Dorset. Blizzards buried parts of Wales and south-west England in snow drifts 6 metres deep, blocked roads and railways and turned villages into isolated islands. Animals died in their fields because farmers could not reach them through the snow. In mid-January, the temperature in Braemar, Scotland, plunged to -22.2C. /end quote |
