Yep it did. I went out and cut some oranges this morning and they were
frozen solid. An interesting weather phenomenon happened this morning. We
had freezing fog, don't know if anybody else has ever had it but it is new
to us. It coats everything with thick frost, kind of like the old freezers
before they had self defrosting ones. The frost is very powdery and is
covering everything, including the thousands of rebloom stalks. Oh well
peak spring bloom is only about 3 1/2 months away for us. (I hope)
