Some events:
- Californian citrus growers will lose most of their citruses, roughly $1 billion in damages: expect higher prices: Clifford has 6 pieces for you
- 55 people froze in 9 states, 20 in Oklahoma: 58% of them thought that the global warming would damage the U.S. economy
- The wind chill in Maine was as low as the temperature of international harmony: if you don't know what this pleasant temperature is, it is -40 degrees because it is the same figure in Celsius as well as Fahrenheit degrees ;-)
- Mount Washington has experienced -77 F wind chill
- At 2 p.m., Cambridge, MA lives in -10 Celsius degrees. It's less pleasant than those +21 Celsius degrees on Saturday two weeks ago but probably more pleasant than the wind chill at Mount Washington
- 300,000 homes and businesses without power: hard to repair
- freezing temperatures will last for some time
