Although it is not absolute proof of climate change, we in Tampa have been experiencing weather trends since 2000 that would indicate warming. First, up until thaT time, he first real cool snap we had occurred around the 2nd week in October. Over the past 4 or 5 years, that moved back to early November Last year and this year, it was and will be occurring in in early November.

Up until 2006, we had several days of frost and freezing weather several -- up to 10 days -- each winter. Since that time we have not had over 1 day of frost each winter, and for the past 2 or more years, no frost or freezing weather at all.
