Got down to 25 degrees last night. Frost on about everything this morning. Hope fruit trees are not damaged.

27.9 at my place when I woke up. The cherry tree was completely loaded with blossoms, sure hope it didn't kill 'em all. I didn't have a heavy frost, it was light, but still COLD!!!

Light frost in Eastern Iowa

Light frost here in n/w WI. No blossoms on the apple trees yet, so they should be safe. No corn (or even oats) in the ground yet, either!

I had a skim of ice on the stock tanks. Now the wind's picking up. Glad I got the big tractor with the cab going again.

29 at the Lansing airport. Trees might be ok if they did some frost prevention.

We had 24 Saturday night. I covered the only (small) apple tree that had any buds. The rest hadn't started much of anything yet. We had a late spring, with heavy snows in April. Expecting 80+ today. So, I guess we had 2 days of spring.

Welcome to summer?
