Frost Warning Service Begins Operation In This Vicinity
Frost warning operation started yesterday in the area and will run until all frost danger passes. Temperatures from five orchards are sent to the Weather Bureau for daily interpretation at 6 p.m. Saturdays and 7:15 p.m. Sundays, with Martinsburg at 4:59 p.m. Also started last year by the Frederick County Fruit Growers Association, the service helps apple and peach growers start orchard heating when frost threatens. About 35,000 heating units are ready to fire if needed across 10 orchards. A frost forecast triggers burning tires and brush to maintain temperature for fruit. Apples may drop to 18 to 20 degrees with little damage, while peaches blooming now have already suffered some damage in spots. Apples such as McIntosh show buds unhurt and overall condition best since 1946. Last year, McIntosh and other early apples were in prepink by April 2, with main bloom four days later. peaches were in full bloom March 31. Right now apples are about a week behind normal. bloom around May 1 is expected unless cooler weather delays. The cold trend is viewed as a positive sign by specialists.
