    "Roy Petteway, of Petteway Citrus and Cattle, in Zolfo Springs, told AccuWeather he is already seeing damage from Saturday's freeze, when temperatures dropped into the low 20s. Impacts include browning leaves and shriveled blooms.

    "While Florida farmers continue to assess losses from the weekend cold snap, AccuWeather experts say the duration of freezing temperatures has already impacted future harvests.

    " 'This recent freeze may have destroyed or severely damaged 8 to 10 percent of the current citrus crop on the trees. We will learn more about the extent of the damage as the citrus groves are assessed in the coming days,' AccuWeather Founder and Executive Chair Dr. Joel N. Myers said.

    " 'Temperatures dropped into the mid-20s, with lows of 23 to 24 degrees reported in some orange groves. Damage can set in when temperatures fall to 28 degrees or lower for four consecutive hours.' "

  2. Iqaluit, Nunavut
    ❄️ A cold one in the capital! Temperatures are ranging between -23°C and -31°C today. We’ve got about an hour of "bright" twilight, so make the most of it! Expect some light drifting snow near the airport. It’s a quiet, frozen Wednesday. Keep the tea brewing and stay warm indoors whenever possible. 🏔️

    ❄️ Bundle up, PG! It’s a chilly one today with temperatures sitting around -12°C. The skies are staying mostly cloudy, and we might see some light "champagne powder" snow falling through the evening. Wind chill is making it feel closer to -18°C, so keep those mittens handy. Great day for some indoor skating or a heavy winter coat! 🧤

  4. It only took 17 hours, but Billings has now received 12" of snow on the 12th day of the 12th month! This persistent band of snow is moving northeast now. It was 61° at 12pm on the 11th, it's now 4° at 11am on the 12th! I'll have your 7-day weather forecast tonight!

  5. Currently in the midst of a #ColdSnap in #Edmonton (and across #Alberta), but I love how it can still be sunny with blue skies, even at -20°C. Photo taken near #Sundre, #AB.
