Wow!

Can't even wish to recall that.
Was up there in Chicago a few years ago when it was -7 before the wind chill and similarly, in Indy when I happened to be there the week of the Super Bowl celebration for the Colts.

Not nice.

Orlando expected to be around 17 tonight.
34 for us in South Florida on the coast. Expected to be much, much lower inland. Darn gators better take shelter.

I went over to the controls and tried to figure out how to turn on the heat. Can't find the manual.

Let's see.....Cincinnati, Ohio just received another 4-10 inches of snow. Lot of us would be happy with the 40s.

Can't remember when the orange seasons fall, Carlos....any damage to the orange crops?

Those guys are going to have a rough one tonight.
Lots of crops will be damaged for sure in the mid to northern portion of the state.
I think as long as it stays above freezing, they should stand a chance.

Hope that ends up being the case

Well, just got the latest projected low.
Looks like freezing at 32 for me on the coast.
North and Central Florida is screwed.
Inland from me will likely be in the 20's.

WHO said something about Global Warming?
What is that stuff exactly?

Most of my area down to Miami saw temps below freezing last night, plus the wind chill onto that.

The northern part of the state sucked!
It was 17 in Jacksonville.
It was 22 in Pensacola.

That is freaking cold for us folks.

Just finished removing all the covering from some of the plants I protected last night. Quite nippy out there for this guy. We are now up to 36 and warming. It has gone up about 5 degrees in the last 1.5 hours.
Expected to be back in the mid 70's by Sunday. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I hope they do...for their families sakes, and because I love Florida oranges.
