So Here’s the Headline and the Bad News:
New, Colder Weekend Freeze Looms for the Gulf Coast
Another, potentially colder outbreak of arctic air will threaten the fruit and vegetable industry beginning this weekend in the South.
The upcoming outbreak will hit in southern Texas first Friday night, then it will expand eastward across the Gulf Coast into Florida later in the weekend.
Temperatures could drop into the teens and lower 20s for a number of hours in southern Louisiana. Approximately 40 percent of U.S. sugar production comes from from the state.
AccuWeather.com Expert Agricultural Meteorologist Dale Mohler warns that temperatures this low could cause significant damage to Louisiana sugar cane. Record-challenging, wet weather this fall has also slowed the harvest.
…and all I can do is hope and pray for the day when BIOfuels are our primary energy source and we finally defeat Al Gore’s Weirdness once and for all. Woohoo!!
Lord, ain’t it GREAT have a plan!
