The Winter Springs plate. Relief from Copernicus GLO-30; rivers and lakes from USGS NHD; watersheds from the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset; roads and city limits from Census TIGER 2024.
36° on Nov. 11, 2025, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1945. Next is 40° in 1963.
Winter Springs’s center stands about 60 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 0 ft to 90 ft, a difference of 90 ft: gently rolling country. Open water lies within three miles.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Undifferentiated sediments (sand, clay), from the Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old.
The section below crosses 2 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sand, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 16 mi of the line.
Sand, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Winter Springs reaches the St. Johns River and the Atlantic Ocean by way of Gee Creek, Blue Creek and Trout Creek: about 190 river miles.
Lakes on the way: George, Lake, Monroe, Lake and Jesup, Lake.
100 miles of the trip are on Trout Creek.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Winter Springs; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Winter Springs has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 93° in July; winter nights fall to about 50° in January. About 50 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Winter Springs normally reaches 78° and falls to 58°. The record high is 88°, in 2008; the record low 40°, in 1963. The most rain on this date, 1.77 in, fell in 1954.
