Yeah because practicing on a diamond in6 inches of snow prepared them better to play in florida
i think it's safe to say there have been PLENTY of days this winter where there hasn't been any snow on the ground & temps as good as you can hope for around here (50's) for this time of year.
but, anyway, all that being said, to expect any team from this part of the country to go to FL & play BB games in Feb & expect them to be sharp is a stretch.
