| Episode Narrative | High pressure settled over the Great Lakes region. The clear skies and light winds allowed overnight temperatures to fall below freezing. While not usual for early April, it followed an exceptionally warm March which initiated the growing season some three to four weeks early. The full extent of damage, primarily to the apple and cherry crop, will not be known until the end of the growing season. Early estimates were around 40% of the yield would be lost. Specific minimums recorded included: 32 degrees at Kendall; 31 degrees at Philadelphia, Retsof and Springville; 30 degrees at Pendleton, Webster and Elba; 29 degrees at Turin; 26 degrees at Oswego and Clymer; 25 degrees at Randolph; 23 degrees at Franklinville; and 20 degrees at Alfred. |
