FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) -- As officials in Broward County declare a cold weather emergency for Monday night, all of South Florida is bundling up for these winter temperatures.
Officials are calling this the coldest weather for South Florida in a decade. Wednesday morning is expected to be the coldest, with temperatures in the 30s.
Shelters in South Florida, including the Broward County Salvation Army, are gearing up and preparing for hundreds of homeless people seeking shelter. "There will be a line down at that door. As they line up, they will be given a hot dinner and a mat on the floor and a blanket and breakfast in the morning," said Sally Gress of the Broward County Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army is asking for the public's help in donating blankets to any of their South Florida shelters.
In Miami-Dade County, farmers are watering their crops, trying to protect them from the freezing temperatures.
Officials urge all residents to bring in their plants and keep their pets indoors. Also, a brush fire warning is in effect until 6 p.m. due to the dry air.

Atctually, the freeze warning isn't all that funy. You need some cold o make good OJ, it concentrates the sugars in the fruit (its why desert wines are sometimes called ice wines, the grapes are harvested later in the year). Its why the groves are around Orlando, not Miami. The downside is a hard freeze will kill the whole crop. You can lose millions in one cold night.
