Forgot to update this, but ended up tanking to 34F with a decent amount of frost on grassy surfaces. Backyard was generally warmer, no frost on the grass out there, which is interesting. Bananas seem to have also been untouched by the frost. Looks like we are in an above average temperature pattern from now thru mid April, so seems like winter is officially over now.

This is a reminder that Florida is a very big state with many climate zones.

The lowest here came in at 42F for the airport and 44F in the yard.  

At this point in the year, the chances of serious cold are diminished, but not impossible.  The March 1980 freeze dropped temperatures into the mid-20s for most of the area around Lakeland.  The March 1993 cold snap took the temperature here down to 33F, with points further north reaching freezing or even into the 20s.

April can even bring some nasty surprises, with 1944, 1950, and 1962 bringing some 30s and frost to various areas  If you don't like the weather in Florida, wait five minutes and it will change.
