Sunday, February 1, 2026 on Crystal River Update on Manatees & Freezing Cold

 

 


 

 Higher Perspectives in Crystal River, Florida is a drone service with a Facebook account. Below is from a Facebook post on 2/1/26:

  

Freezing cold temperatures have the #manatees gathered by the hundreds at the various #springs in #crystalriver Sunday morning. #ThreeSisterSprings had the largest #cuddlepuddle by far. Easily 500+ there alone today. King, Magnolia and Jurassic were also busy. Will probably do a second run today as they usually lag about a day behind the cold front for real big numbers.

 


 

 


 


 


 Weather is still freezing at night in central Florida. A second cold front expected to move in on Wednesday. It is Tuesday at 10 am and current temperature is 50 degrees F. It should be a few degrees higher this afternoon, but it dives low tonight again.  This keeps knocking the camellia blooms off of the two bushes here by my building.  Prediction for return of warm, Florida weather is next week by Tuesday.  Stay tuned for more developments.

 

 I don't have snow, but I do miss how many warm days of camellia blooms I had last year.

 Until it warms up, this one is true for me.

  1. Aren't manatees just amazing, I love that word cuddlepuddle to decribe them all huddled together for warmth.
    I hope the beautiful Florida warmth is back to normal soon and there isn't much more damage to your camellias.
    February is always cold, dull and grey here in the UK but I have spotted some signs of spring which keep me hopeful.
