Tuesday afternoon Reading Room: One of the coldest Orange Bowls ever tonight

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- We may be in the midst of south Florida's coldest stretch since 2001.

Iowa football fans who are here in south Florida can take comfort that the coming weekend here could be even colder.

Temperatures here are expected to dip as low as the mid-30s before tonight is over. How many of the Midwesterners here brought some winter wear?

At least this will make the adjustment back to Iowa's weather easier for those of us from that state.

I'm telling ya, it was all I could do to stop myself from swimming to Cuba just to find warmer climes. Luckily (in this case), I can't swim.

All together now, Iowans. Awwwwwwww.

South Florida homeless shelters are preparing for on of their busiest nights, according to this Miami Herald story.

The weather could put some of the area's citrus and strawberry crops at risk.
