Cold Weather Grips East as Florida Faces Worst Freeze Since 1889
The Associated Press reports extended cold and snow across the eastern half of the U S with Florida hit by the coldest weather in over 70 years. Readings fell below freezing in northern Florida and reached into the 20s as far south as Miami. Even with some moderation, yield losses loom in crops, and citrus growers hasten harvests to salvage fruit before temperatures rise. Damages are projected in the millions with thousands of trees killed, while the Northeast endures snow squalls and drifting, and highways suffer closures and slow cleanup efforts.
