| Episode Narrative | Several consecutive days of sub-freezing temperatures from the morning of April 28th to the morning of April 30th lead to damaging and possibly devastating killing freezes for various fruit-bearing crops in Vermont. Although these temperatures may not be seasonably uncommon, the preceding record breaking late winter and early spring warmth accelerated bud development in fruit crops by 2-3 weeks. The climatological milder Champlain and lower Connecticut River valleys likely witnessed the greater damage due to greater progression into the growing season, thus more susceptible. However, minimum temperatures in the teens and lower 20s likely impacted other regions as well. Fruit crop damage estimates may exceed 25 percent of normal harvest. |
| Event Narrative | Minimum temperatures lower into the lower to mid 20s for three consecutive nights. |
