Situation Update No. 1
On 2010-01-10 at 07:38:06 [UTC]

Event: Cold Wave
Location: USA State of Floridia Floridia-wide

Situation:

The frigid air mass holding much of North America hostage put Florida in a deep freeze early Sunday after sprinkling a rare phenomenon on the sunshine state of Florida: snow. The state was bracing for temperatures of minus-10 to minus-4 degrees Celsius through Sunday morning as orange and strawberry growers fought to save their crops. Large flakes of snow fell over the southern state, traditionally the refuge for sun lovers fleeing the grey winter of more northerly states. "This is very unusual," a spokesman for the National Weather Service said.
