Pleny of time for a freeze
Posted: 27 Mar 2012 05:54 AM
The major concern at the moment is if we will see freezing weather
again this spring. The warm winter and extremely warm March have
provoked much of our vegetation to grow and a hard freeze now would
damage the more sensitive crops. The featured chart presents the last
day each spring that the temperature was below 32 and 29 degrees
Fahrenheit. While there has been another year with such an early date
of the last sub 29 degree day, it seems rather unlikely that we could
go through all of April without a freezing temperature below 32. The
immediate term forecast continues the warmth, but perhaps a big storm
is brewing next week.
