We customarily check the weather in Winter Paradise when making the Monday morning tee time. But I was thoroughly surprised to see the familiar "uh oh" satellite signature over the southern Gulf of Mexico in early February. It's been unseasonably warm in Florida lately, but geez Louise!

Heads up Florida...we may be in for a little February surprise. It is
notably warm and humid on the Florida Gulf coast this afternoon
while the NHC is remarkably quiet.

[Nachoman]

Didn’t the gulf get the memo that hurricane season is over?

Ha!

A storm flag warning on Feb 5th.

Is this the earliest you’ve ever pinged one out?

[Rushmore Rocks]

Thanks for the ping. Rather odd this time of year.....as is our weather in the Black Hills.

Boy O Boy...should have listened to Algore, eh?

Absolutely. I recall one in early April, but February is nuts.

So much for your Tee time :(

Eeesh...just bought a new bag and had three new clubs shortened to size. Was really looking forward to trying them out. We'll wait and see if we can sneak in a few holes just after dawn tomorrow. Hoping...

It is February 5th, and there is absolutely NO SNOW on the ground across central and south New Hampshire...thank you for GW, Al...I HATE frickin' snow.

What a wonderful winter.

Gulf water temps too cold despite the warmish weather for this storm to be a power house
