• Widespread lettuce ice developed, causing delays as long as two hours as crews waited for the product to thaw
• Cold temperatures will stall growth, which will cause a further drop in overall case weights
• The younger fields will start to get blisters that then turn into epidermal peel
• Current forecasts predict low temperatures over the next several days
