In Cold Snap, Floridians Shiver, and Pray for the Strawberries

The New York Times January 6, 2010 By Damien Cave

Cold temperatures hit the Sunshine state. 25 degrees has been the tempurature in florida and the strawberries are suspended beneath hard icy, shiny icicles. It's been decent so far, but hopefully the weather remains constant in the 40 degree mark. Good thing it hasn't affected the fruits as much as people thought they would, but dozens have been destroyed. Prices have increased by $2 a pound since christmas.
I'm glad things haven't gotten too bad in florida, due to the weather. It would've been a shame if all the crops became destroyed after a horrible weather condition. The author wrote a great story about the topic.
