<< As far as I can tell, this spraying-water business is based on the
 mistaken
 idea that ice cannot get colder than 32 degrees F.  Ice, of course, can
 get
 as cold as its surroundings, all the way down to absolute zero in places
 like Ottawa <grin>. >>

I don't know if I missed a post concerning the spraying water idea, but what 
Florida fruit growers do and what I suggested are two completely different 
things. I spray the plants with a hard stream of water AFTER the frost has 
hit but before the sun hits the plants and melts the frost off. I have no 
idea how or why this works, but I do know that it does.
