Climate chart needed

It would be great to have a full climate chart for this small City because of the marketing name and juxtaposing history, which would show not only that it's had frost but quite severe freezes being not even halfway down the state, when even South Florida has had plenty of frost.

Movie mention

In the Jon Cusack movie 'Identity', Frostproof is praised as a nice town and it's history is briefly discussed. 2600:6C46:6000:173:36CF:F6FF:FED3:8439 (talk) 09:13, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Contradictory/redundant paragraphs

"The name was a marketing ploy to convince potential landowners that the town has never had, and never would have, a frost that could destroy the large citrus-driven economy. However, only a couple of years later, a frost during The Great Freeze of 1895 killed most of the citrus in Frostproof. Prior to being named Frostproof, the town was named Keystone City. However, after being confused regularly with Keystone Heights, a city in North Florida, Frostproof was coined. W.H. Overocker applied for the first post office here in 1892, with a name of Keystone City. Postal authorities disallowed it because there was already a Keystone Heights in Florida. Joseph Washington Carson suggested Frostproof as a substitute, but Overocker instead chose Lakemont. Carson's choice of Frostproof was based on the town's relatively minor damage from the freeze in December 1894, which ruined much of the state's citrus crop."

These two paragraphs seem redundant and even contradictory in places to me. Any thoughts on how best to proceed? TheLegendofGanon (talk) 19:29, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
