I'm also going to blame my hair loss on global warming. Come to think of it, global warming is more than likely the reason I got that sinus headache the other day! Global warming is also responsible for my prescriptions being so expensive. My cell phone battery is almost dead due to global warming too.

Just having a little fun!

Seriously though, it has been nice and cold recently, but I haven't seen one temperature that has been out of zone for that area. Knoxville got to 12F yesterday morning and 15F this morning, still zone 8a temps. We are a zone 7a, but haven't seen zone 7a temps since Jan. 2003. This is January, after all! I'm in Orlando presently, visiting my folks. They predicted as low as 26F for here, but I think the low was 31F. We were 30F here in Oviedo, FL. Citrus all looks good, and the cold air will actually help to sweeten the fruit up a bit.
