This photo provided by farmer Ryan Jacobsen shows a field and branches on his almond trees covered in ice, a result of micro sprinklers that are turned on to release heat from the water to raise the field temperature 1-3 degrees, in his orchard near Fresno in California's Central Valley Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2018. An air mass from western Canada has brought some of the coldest temperatures of the winter to California. Hard freeze warnings were in effect up and down the agricultural Central Valley early Tuesday and were set to go back into effect overnight into Wednesday. Numerous locations had lows in the 20s and 30s, while some mountain locations had single-digit temperatures before dawn. (Ryan Jacobsen via AP)
