I'm fairly sure I heard this over 40 years ago when I was in school in
Fla.  But I just read this:
"The coldest temperature <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature> ever
recorded in Key West was 41 ?F (5 ?C) on January 12
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_12>, 1886
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1886>" from Wikipedia:

Yes the official lowest minimum temperature at Key West is 41 degrees and 
that reading has observed several times. These readings came from weather 
instruments exposed right at the shoreline and in the downtown area. An 
unofficial minimum temperature of 31.8 deg. occurred in January 1981 at an 
inland suburban location on the island of Key West.
