NWS last time I checked had 29 here tonight, should be interesting, looks like higher chance to do that tonight
CMC was way to cold this morning, that’s for sure, had concord in the upper 20s/30, concord regional airport only got down to 32 View attachment 81132
Grandma said plum trees that were still in bloom have been “KOed” and even the ones that are leafing look bad, and we still have 1, maybe 2 more nights of this ?Oof looks like they didn't do a good job at covering the vegetables at home depot. I think they are all dead
Looks like my hydrangea got it, some new growth on crepe myrtles and most of the grass in my front yard. Nice.Grandma said plum trees that were still in bloom have been “KOed” and even the ones that are leafing look bad, and we still have 1, maybe 2 more nights of this ?
My god . I thought it was light last night . Huh. It’s worth it right ? 2-3 cold days that kill everything despite the fact heat is coming no matter what? Imma miss strawberries . Don’t people begin picking those now....Looks like my hydrangea got it, some new growth on crepe myrtles and most of the grass in my front yard. Nice.
Interestingly enough everything that is injured is protected from the N wind. Most plants/grass that are in the open yard are fine. I'm going to put my senor tonight at 2 or 3 feet instead of 6 to see how cold it getsMy god . I thought it was light last night . Huh.

I hope your senor is very good ! Don’t you think it will be too cold for him though ? Leaving a senor out overnight ?Interestingly enough everything that is injured is protected from the N wind.

I forgot to add I saw an article this morning that strawberries are delayed this year not sure if that's good or bad for themMy god . I thought it was light last night . Huh.

I’m not sure either , what’s more sensitive their buds and blooms or the berries ?I forgot to add I saw an article this morning that strawberries are delayed this year not sure if that's good or bad for them
How cold at South of the Border?I hope your senor is very good ! Don’t you think it will be too cold for him though ? Leaving a senor out overnight ?
I've always understood it as the further along plants are in their green up the less cold required to cause damage. That said strawberries aren't typical warm season plants. My assumption would be the step between bud and fruit is the most sensitive periodI’m not sure either , what’s more sensitive their buds and blooms or the berries ?
Perhaps , strawberries are more cool summer plants . That’s what makes them so tough to grow here . We warm up fast but our freezes don’t follow , then they get frozen . Then comes may and the first few 90s and they are toast. Northern places pick strawberries in June and July just fine .I've always understood it as the further along plants are in their green up the less cold required to cause damage.

You are correct. For the most part at this point the strawberries should be ok as long as the basic stuff is done to protect them... it would have hurt them more if there had been an early bloom and then the hard freeze. What really might take a hit though tonight is peaches. The really bad thing about tonight and why I think some of these lower numbers on the guidance has a chance to verify is simply how low the highs are going to be today. I’m at 46 right with full sunshine and calm wind. With dewpoints already around 10... things may drop fast tonight and add more time below freezingPerhaps , strawberries are more cool summer plants .
