Damaging Cold

Posted: 12 Apr 2012 05:04 AM

Cold nights typical of this time of year have taken a toll on the vegetation in the state these past three days. The featured chart is of minimum reported temperature from the airport sites since our recent cold stretch began. Temperatures have dipped well below freezing over the entire state. Normally, this weather would not be of concern as our growing season would be starting a few weeks from now. The record warm winter and March got everything growing much earlier this year and put our vegetation in a very vulnerable position.
