We were at the Daytona 500 last year and froze our off. Was this abnormal or should we expect the same this year?? Pre shipping our PARKAS and MUTLUKS (boots)?

It's not abnormal for that kind of cold front to come through from Dec-Feb.

NASCAR is not for the thin-skinned. I recommend you load up on Hot Hands warmer packets and increase your beer intake.

You never know. The normal winter pattern in Central and E. Central Florida: Generally dry with temp range between 50F 10C and 75F 24C. If a cold front moves south there is a period of strong storms and rain. When the front moves on through it becomes bright and clear and the temperatures can plunge to a low of 28-32F or -1 to 0C and the high might only be between 50-60F 10-15F. If there is a stong wind, you have to add the chill factor.

What to pack? Layers. A good leather jacket or some type of car coat. Usually by late morning you are peeling off layers and as the sun sets you start adding back on.
