The Canadian cold front that brought blizzard-like conditions across North and South Dakota and pushed through the western Corn Belt are scheduled to hit Florida this weekend. Cold, high winds are expected for the Sunshine State beginning Friday. Farmers — who have spent the past week protecting crops from the cold — are bracing for the freeze that isn’t expected to leave until next Tuesday. According to USDA Meteorologist Brad Rippey, farmers also are concerned with crop scarring from sand and debris picked up by the wind.
