Cold snaps are normal this time of year, but the National Weather Service says this steep freeze _3_, it's specially troubling for California's nearly 4000 artic growers most of whom are farmers, they turning on warm machines to circulate warm air and soak in grows with water to raise the ground temperature.

Seven years ago they lost more than half of their crops to freeze. By the middle of next week the arctic airs _5_ to move out and temperature will warm up. For NPR News, I am Daniel Karson in LA.

每年這個時間遭遇寒流是很正常的事情，但是國家氣象局表示，這次突然襲來的嚴(yán)寒很不尋常，尤其是對加州近4000名柑橘種植者來說，他們大部分人都是農(nóng)民，他們要打開取暖的機(jī)器讓暖空氣流通，增加水分，以提高地面溫度。目前進(jìn)入收獲季已經(jīng)有8周的時間了，而85%的果實還沒有采摘，目前仍有價值10億美元的橘子、檸檬、柑橘還有葡萄掛在樹上，而接下來幾個晚上可能會改變一切。七年前，因為嚴(yán)寒他們損失了近1半的收成。北極冷空氣將于下周周中時移出加州，天氣將變暖。NPR新聞，丹尼爾·卡爾森洛杉磯報道。
