Weather Bureau Warns Orchardists in Four-State Belt
In Hancock Maryland orchardists brace for frost as temperatures may dip to 30 to 36 degrees with scattered frost in lower valleys. Horticulturist Ben Rogers says smudge pots may be lit in 250 to 300 acre blocks to save peaches and apples, which could suffer if frost returns after a warm spell. A repeat cold snap last May killed over half the apple crop.
