Okay.... Now when ur on 301 between towns, how fast can ya get away with?

Between towns the Sheriff's office and state troopers typically won't bother you unless it is excessive speeding. I typically drive 5-8 over the speed limit between towns and they haven't messed with me. It's the town cops that are the problem. You have to remember that there are a lot of people on the roads and they see these couple of weeks of Christmas and New Years and bowl week as a money maker. If you see a speed limit sign in a town just stay under it. As for me I have to work and I won't be able to make the game but I'll be there in spirit.

My brother is taking his 13 y/o son to the game this year for his Xmas present. The nephew of mine was pretty ticked we didn't take him to Orlando last year so he got his wish! They leave tomorrow.

Our weather is usually quite different (and warmer) than Tampa even though we are only an hour south (we are below the frost line, Tampa is on it) and it rained here all day two days ago.

That's why it's a PIA that all of our news/weather stations are out of Tampa.

Just out of curiosity, what is the frost line?

We're here @ Walters Press Box...waiting on the Panthers game

Today is probably the chilliest day we have had all year long...still sunny and I can wear shorts, but there is definitely a chill in the air.

bigdog2003 · 12-30-2012, 08:30 PM

I made it down here about 5:00. Left Newberry at 8:45 this morning, no stops until the Florida welcome center to get free orange juice, and another stop for gas in Jacksonville. Were making good time until Orlando traffic. Will be going back on 301.

Looking forward to relaxing a few days before school starts back Thursday.

It is where the ground will freeze. It kind of cuts across the state where Orlando is but Tampa sits on the line because it is warmer along the coast than inland.

I believe all of Florida's citris crop is below the frost line. Even though it can and does freeze below it, it is rare.

In the winter, the average daily high temps can be as much as 15 degrees cooler in Miami that Tampa but only about a seven degree difference in Fort Myers or Sarasota.

catdaddy66 · 12-30-2012, 10:40 PM

So after telling every one how to not get a ticket.... Guess what I got?? Thats right, I went through a damn yellow light down in Tampa that I should have made but they have this rip off system that seemed like it knew I was gonna go through the yellow and turned the light red immediatly and took a picture of my tag. Wonder when I will recieve my little gift. #Facepalm
