Frost advisories up

Farmers have had a double whammy this spring as the drought persisted through the first three weeks of April adversely affecting early spring plantings and high fertilizer cost

The big warm spikes raised the average for March and April above normal but strangely the northeast trough still persisted. If you know anything about growing late April through May is the key growth period for crops everything is being stunted by this cold.

ECM has snow showers in Scranton next Friday and likely a frost threat next weekend

Local farmers here have lost their apple and peach tree blossoms for the first time in memory

EPS has first half of May -6.5F

Last freeze and last frost are not the same. Just had a frost at 37F

Freeze killed my Japanese maple and redbud never seen that before.

I already posted it was the latest 24 and 25F for many area. The lower the temp the more it kills.

It was a record late freeze in many areas

Will not include blueberries and strawberries.

First half of May is projecting colder then May 2020, when it snowed.

37F low Today's upper 60's to low 70's looks like the warmest day for the next two weeks. Insane.
