| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Several strong cold fronts brought reinforcing arctic air masses into east central Florida over a consecutive 12-day period. From January 2 through January 14, high temperatures did not exceed 60 degrees on nine to 12 days, with several days recording high temperatures only in the 40s. Several low maximum temperature records were set. During this period, low temperatures fell to or below 40 degrees for 12 consecutive mornings across nearly all of east central Florida. Six to nine mornings saw temperatures fall to 32 degrees or less. Many areas experienced low temperatures in the mid to upper 20s, with a few isolated, rural spots falling to near 20 degrees. Several record low temperature records were set. Frost occurred during several mornings. Long durations of temperatures in the 20s damaged or killed a considerable amount of vegetation, with agricultural crops, citrus, and ornamental flowers. Agricultural reports estimate a third of the Florida Winter fruit and vegetable production were lost, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in losses (state-wide). Also, winds remained near 10 mph on several nights, producing wind chill values in the teens and lower 20s.||Following a cold front on January 9, some sleet, snow and freezing rain mixed with a band of light rain from Kissimmee to Palm Bay northward. A slight accumulation of mixed precipitation occurred on vehicles, pool screen enclosures and plants. See separate Storm Data entry for additional details concerning this winter weather event.||A very rough cost estimate for (direct weather-related) freeze losses to fruit, vegetable and citrus crops across east-central Florida during January totaled near 14.5 million dollars. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | High temperatures did not exceed 60 degrees for 11 of 12 days between January 2 and 13 at Orlando-Sanford International Airport. Four days experienced high temperatures only in the 40s (40 degrees on January 9). Low temperatures fell to 40 degrees or less for 13 consecutive days and 32 degrees or below on eight days. Seven days experienced minimum temperatures in the mid to upper 20s, with the coldest temperature of 25 degrees on January 10. Similar temperatures occurred across the remainder of Seminole County. Frost also occurred on many mornings. Long durations of freezing temperatures resulted in considerable crop damage. In addition, Winds near 10 mph occurred on several nights, producing wind chill temperatures in the teens and lower 20s.||A very rough cost estimate for (direct weather-related) freeze losses to fruit, vegetable and citrus crops across Seminole County during January totaled 0.12 million dollars. |
