Cold snap drives unusual Florida impact on heat and commerce
Weather forecasters predicted moderation after a deep freeze that sent Tallahassee to 10 degrees, Jacksonville to 12, and Tampa to a record low. Citrus crops suffered losses, 30 000 trees felled, and Tampa’s unfinished motel pipes burst costing about 50000 to repair. Homes relied on space heaters as central systems remained uncommon. Local workers faced a harsh commute as engines struggled to start in the cold.
