Canada: Freeze destroys strawberry crops
An overnight frost in Newfoundland has destroyed thousands of dollars worth of strawberries. One farmer said 80 to 90 per cent of his strawberries at their flowering peak died when temperatures plunged below freezing Wednesday night in Reidville, on Newfoundland's west coast.
The clear skies overnight lead to the low temperatures which dropped as low as -4 Celsius.
