there was but one to three degrees
in difference between that section and
the lower St. Johns, against ten to

A Tampa paper of the same period
reports a light fall Of snow to the
great surprise of the natives, and
says, "it is feared that the oranges on
the trees are injured"
The South FLORIDA Journal saws
"There is ice in various sections
around the neighborhood from a half
inch to one and half inches in thick.
ness Also thin coating of ice on
Twin Lakes reaching ten feet from
the shore and pond of water near
Lake Jessup forty feet across, entirely
frozen over by strong crust OF ice."
AT Sanford guavas were killed to the
ground anG even at Brooksville in
the southern part of fernando
county, We are told of a tamarind
tree frozen down.
In 1868 Judge Spear, of Apopka,
says he measured ice two inches

says: "In '68 margrove trees by the

as the Indian Hunting grounds, north

little to spare at Key West. A man
told me that water in bucket
