It's way too early for 50 degrees. Early bud break will mean no crop this year as we are almost guaranteed to have frost until April 30.
We have a winter storm warning for tonight and tomorrow of mostly ice and it will get colder. The warm weather won't get to us for about a week but then is a week around 50. I don't worry too much about it because it goes down to about freezing at night. That will keep them pretty dormant.
this is bad . . .
No snow - we've had several 50 degree days sporadically in the last few weeks and it's been a very light winter.
The question is that, what is the April weather like??
If this new spring forecast for the Upper Midwest is accurate, it could spell doom for not only grapes, but apples, cherries and perhaps other early blooming fruits?
