What we're about to share is absolutely stunning and could put South Florida in the path of an Arctic airmass this weekend.

The National Weather Service (NWS) in Miami warns of an "Arctic air mass heading into South Florida this upcoming weekend."

The potential freeze-mageddon comes as "The Sunshine State" produces one of the smallest crops since the 1940s.

In what appears to be a citrus shortage developing, frozen orange juice futures have risen nearly 40% since the beginning of November. Currently, they trade around $1.59 per pound as speculators could push contracts as high as $2.

At this time, the state's citrus growers are praying freeze-mageddon is not unleashed across the state; otherwise, it would mean more crop loss and higher prices, something consumers would not be too fond of.

This is nothing unusual. During the 1970’s there was a freeze in Florida. During the 1980’s a freeze in Florida. During the 1990’s a Freeze in Florida, and in the 2000’s, a freeze in Florida.

Which tells me that the lie of man made climate change is a bogeyman to scare us all with. Because FLORIDA GETS COLD SNAPS TOO. Just like Texas and the Southwest.

Do you like Tennessee, Horse? How conservative/Southern/friendly is it at this point in history? I know it has a wonderfully strong Second Amendment culture but I'm sure it's under serious Yankee invasion now.

Tn is OK. I would not leave here even if I could afford to build climate battery greenhouses. I would move further away from Memphis and Nashville.

What are the drawbacks of life in TN? Aside from those two cities ;)

I am intelligent and don't like stubborn stupidity.

Fundies can certainly be exasperating -- are these total yahoos cut off from the real world? Zionist maniacs?
