You guys may have had it a little better over on the West coast. The "Gulf" is warm. The West or North West wind would have been in your favor if you are close to the water. Your trees might actually be OK.
When we get the West wind and there is any chance of a freeze on the "East coast".... The whole Citrus Community freaks out. They know it will be cold and the only thing they can do is water the hell out of it and harvest early. It is a MESS.... It also includes Strawberries and Tomato's.
I do ambulatory runs (in the MB) Workers Comp. patients. A lot of my shortcuts go through Orange groves in Indian River and Brevard County. So, I am really "in touch" with what is going on out there. Last week was BUSY......
