I read a report this week that the Florida citrus crop will not be as "sweet" as usual and also more green in color.  It appears that the warmer than normal temps are not allowing the oranges to ripen as "normal".  This makes them a little more tart if flavor and greener in color.  Hopefully we'll get some more cold temps and change that before harvest time.  I don't have any citrus trees of my own...but I have noticed that along the side of the road while driving.  Have you seen that?  Or do you have your own citrus?

Glenn,
Sorry - this is going to be off topic, but I figure you are going to look at this tonight, lol.

I am flying home Sat. night - home is Boston, specifically the North Shore (yes - like Andover which was on the 6 pm newscast), Beverly actually.

I have gone to the 'winter weather' map - but I have dial up so it takes FOREVER for things from the site to download.

I'm hearing from friends it is snowing even now, and that there has already been about 27 inches of snow this season.

What can you tell me/how can you help me???

Thanks Glenn!

btw - I haven't forgotten I owe you a slurpie - I'll get it to you eventually!

I'll let you slide on the slurpee....

Boston is getting a break right now....but they have some rain/snow on the way this weekend. They've had the snowiest December...ever!

Glad to hear the oranges are doing o.k. lets get a little more chill to make them sweet!

Well Glenn, I head back to O- Town tomorrow...in time for a cold snap and freeze! Yay.

So the Fox 25 weather team (think it was A.J. Burnett this morning) put up the record numbers this morning....0.2 inches SHORT OF THE RECORD for snowiest Dec ever. Are you KIDDING!
