Pouring in St. Johns: local conditions

Near the Atlantic and the Intracoastal it's deep sand; inland the clayey subsoil holds moisture longer than peninsular sands, so allow slower drying after rain. A few winter nights dip near freezing - keep cold-weather protection on hand for overnight pours.

A long pouring season with two caveats: summer storms (Jun-Sep) and occasional Dec-Feb cold snaps that call for curing blankets on overnight work.
