I just read this on AP and I don’t see how they can be so confident.  Call me cynical, but I figure they’re only saying this so we won’t stock up now and they’ll be able to claim frost damage as the reason for higher prices in the future.  nah, they’d never do that… I’m biting the bullet here and grabbing this Hale deal ’cause every time I buy the sale cases of little tangerines, there are always a couple that are either rotten or about to rot. Hale offers a 100% guarantee and I like that.

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — Florida’s citrus industry isn’t expecting any damage to crops from a deep freeze afflicting much of the continental U.S.

Temperatures are expected to dip into the 30s in parts of Florida on Tuesday. But Florida Citrus Mutual spokesman Andrew Meadows said temperatures must be at 28 degrees or lower four hours straight for fruit to freeze badly. Some pockets of low-lying areas could get that cold, but not any large swaths of land. Meadows said he is optimistic the citrus crop will stand up well to the colder temps.
