    "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. Fall be fallin', but summer had a final record-breaking hurrah today. Sunday brought us the hottest-ever highs this late in the year, but we'll be 30° cooler on Monday. Despite the heat, I still had a yummy jambalaya / gumbo combo for dinner.

  3. Eilen aamulla tätä krookusta tovereineen peitti melkein 20 sentin lumikerros.

    Sieltä sitä noustaan taas, kätköstä kinosten ja mullasta maan, eikä olla moksiskaan.

    Yesterday morning, this crocus and many others were covered by nearly 20 cm of freshly fallen snow.

    Today they emerged again, unscathed.

  4. Good morning, world! It is currently 14F here in #Asheville, NC, on its way to a blistering 20 later today. Still windy. Tonight will be similar, with a projected low of 7F.

    Pipes ok so far, but I now need to brave the basement treadmill, so if I don't return, it's been nice knowing all of you.

    If we make it until later next week it will be mostly rain with much warmer temperatures.

  5. For those following the #Asheville area weather, the temperatures are dropping quickly.

    At 5AM it was 37F here, our high for the day, but at 10:30 it is now 26. Lows tonight will be single digits.

    The small amount of dampness left from yesterday's rain has turned to ice. Our roads have happily mostly dried, although some in the area are getting snow today.

    Keep an eye out, things are going to get cold.
