Well it is cold for Florida! 33degree F; with a wind chill factor of 23! I know a lot of you are colder with snow and such--but here in Florida, we usually don't see it drop that cold. I am so glad that the kids are still out on winter break--I'd hate to go out in the cold this morning. It's so much nicer to be all warm and cozy inside.
I read this morning that the citrus growers iced thier crops last night. I wish I knew of a grove nearby--it is quite a sight to see. I would actually go out in the cold to get a picture of that. (What that means is when gets down below 32 F and is expected to remain so for most of the night--the citrus growers will turn on the sprinkers and freeze their trees to keep them at 32--that is about the lowest temp. the trees and live through. and it makes the oranges really sweet.) Anyways I've only seen it done a few times--but it's very pretty to drive by the orange groves and see them sparkling with ice in the early morning sun. Not something you see often in Florida.
