Farmers are obviously running water and starting up their wind machines, hiring helicopters to go up and mix up the air a little bit. But when it gets down to a certain temperature, there is only so much a farmer can do.

This yet again is a wake-up call for those who haven't installed SP2. Any machines running a copy of XP without SP2 are saying 'Come and get me', as there are so many gaping threats.

You can recover the entire host and all the virtual machines running in a very orchestrated fashion.

It looks pretty bad with the lemons, and I know that we've got damage in the navel orange groves as well.

The damage starts on the trees at the outside of the grove and the exposed fruit at the top of the trees. We're hearing now that damage is getting further into the grove. Consecutive nights of cold weather weakens the fruit.

It's eerie how similar it all seems.
