Here in St. Paul, MN, it was 3 degrees this morning, and will be -1 tomorrow morning.

OTOH, my parents' citrus and avocado farm in Ventura County, CA may well have been severely impacted by the cold there. I'm sure my father was up all night running the wind machines to try to keep from losing next year's crop. I'll find out how it went this afternoon during my weekly call to my folks. Since Dad's 88 years old, I'm pretty sure my brother was out there last night to help out.
