Florida Cold Damages Citrus Crop, Strains Power Supplies

Florida will endure at least another day of bitter cold that has damaged the state’s citrus crop and prompted a local utility to ask residents to reduce electricity use.

Freeze warnings and cold weather advisories cover a large portion of the state, the National Weather Service said. Jacksonville saw a low of 22F (-6C) and Orlando fell to 24F on Sunday, both daily records, while Tampa dropped to 29F, two degrees shy of its record.
