The weather this winter has been unusually warm and very dry. Many days in January were in the high 70’s with several days getting close to 80. That’s a good 5 to 10 degrees above normal. We are also in a pretty severe drought. There has only been about one inch of rain since December 1st. This is the dry season but this year is a lot dryer than normal.

Normally I’d give you the average temperature in Ocala for February but here we are on the 8th of the month and it’s still unseasonably warm. I’m not complaining. It’s been beautiful all winter so far. Warm weather in the 70’s with no humidity is just about perfect for me.

If you’re sick of the winter where you are then move to Ocala.
