Apples show high risk with low land orchards hardest hit while peaches and berries suffer varied impact. Temperatures fell to 28 1 2 in county and 24 25 in pockets with light winds and calm skies aiding the chill. Maryland orchards near Cumberland and Adams County show mixed effects with some belts spared while others, especially lower ground and bloom stages, face loss.
