We home inspectors normally don’t worry much about the weather here in Tampa, we just keep going. I’ve inspected more than one home during a tropical storm. But the recent extended cold snap has us all shivering. In the 30 years I’ve lived here, I can’t ever remember a cold spell lasting this long. It’s been colder, heck, I even saw snow on the ground in Tampa back in the 70’s, but usually it warms right back up in a couple of days. Not this time. Must be that global warming.
Seems the cold weather is affecting some of our exotic wildlife. Iguanas, like the one shown below, are common in South Florida. The cold snap has slowed their metabolism so much they’re becoming immobile and falling out of the trees. I can only imagine what it must be like to be walking down the street and having a giant lizard fall on your head.
I took this photo in the Keys last year. These things are thick as flies down there.
It could be worse, we talked to a friend in Philadelphia who had a new Tempurpedic mattress delivered yesterday. The delivery men couldn’t bend it to get it up the stairs, it was frozen solid. They had to come back later in the day after it thawed out.
