I am going to Florida, Orlando in January,how likely is it for me to catch a scorpion in two weeks? -

I REALLY LOVE SCORPIONS, SO HOW COMMON ARE SCORPIONS THERE IN THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AND WHAT TYPES OF SCORPIONS LIVE THERE?

I had 2 in my house last year. You need to know where to look for them or you ll never find them. I had no idea scorpions even lived in Florida until I found the first one last January.

They aren t common. You are less likely to see one in nature than you are an alligator or black widow spider.. and I only saw one alligator in the wild in my five years of being there.And I used to clear out storage spaces which are a great place for creepy crawlies.

I ve never encountered a scorpion in Orlando.If they re there, they re probably not very active in January.

Very rare. I have lived here for 18 years and have only found 2.

Weather in orlando in december? -

i m going to orlando (disney) at the end of christmas and im wondering if the weather will be warm enough to swim i know the average is around 72 but any onw who lives in florida do they know if its usually warmer then that around christmas?

My wife and I went last year in early Dec. We had two days of highs in the 70 s then two nights it was below freezing and we needed our heavy coats and gloves. It is best to check the ten day weather forecast before you go and take lots of layers. Have a great time and here are some fun things to do at Disney at Christmas.

yes the average is around 72 but daytime highs can pretty much range from the low 60 s to the low 80 s. thats typically a dry period with mostly sunny skies all day long so even when its slightly chilly the sun makes it feel warm. all pools on disney property including hotels and water parks are heated to a nice 82 degrees so you can count on them being warm. most other area hotels heat their pools as well. definitely plan on bringing the bathing suit!i went from dec 27th to jan 2nd last year and it was in the high 70 s- low 80 s the entire time. the nigh time lows get down to about 51 so you will want to bring a light jacket for early mornings and later at night.

Go to weather.com and they give you a 10 day weather forecast which is pretty much how the weather is going to be the next month. It is usually around 75 and the water temp is in the mid 60s to early 70s.The water is great to swim in anytime of the year!

probably in the 60 s im going this week and the weather is supposed to be in the 70 s and all the way down to like the 4 s so a bit chillyer but still probably sunny and nice i mean its florida but its unexpected weather mostly

It s been hot until now. Today the high was 60. Tonight it is 46 and still dropping, tomorrows going to be the same.

Whats the Difference between st, blvd, ln, ave, etc. or is there any difference? -

In my city, and it s probably this way in a lot of citiesStreets and Courts run East - WestAvenues and Places run North-SouthBoulevard is a street that is landscaped and has trees.Quite often down the center of the street.I have nothing to base this on, but I think most avenues tend to be wider than streets.Thats not true in all cities tho.

There used to be differences, but they don t really exist anymore.In Manhattan, avenues are wider and run north-south while streets run east-west.In St. Petersburg, streets and avenues are the same width but avenues run east-west and streets run north-south.And in Washington, DC, streets run north-south and east-west while avenues run diaganolly.The original difference was avenues were wider than streets and boulevards were wider than avenues. Places were short streets. Lanes were originally small country roads.

There is no clearly defined difference; however the following generally applies: Lane or court are small, local, residential streets. Streets can be short or long, residential or commercial. Avenues are frequently longer and often wider than streets. (New York City-Manhattan streets go East- West whereas Avenues go North-South). Boulevards are usually wider than Avenues often have a tree-lined divider.
