. Weird weather patterns we’re having. The only sure thing is the drought
Might be smaller backyard crop this year. Thunderstorms right in the middle of my peak bloom this week and followed by freezing temperatures… Already no sign of fruitlets on Flavorella and early blooming apricots from the freezes and now the mid season blooms would also be affected by the rains and freezes. And then it hailed a long time . Weird weather patterns we’re having. The only sure thing is the drought

We really need an empathy button. LOL. Sorry to hear of this, fruit enthusiasts so look forward to the next year. Some of us spend the winter dreaming of eating our fruit, so losses like this hurt.

Moses called. He said if you thought that was bad, just wait till the plagues of locusts…
(I feel awful for you and hope the weather straightens up!!)

That stinks. I’m sure we will get it too. Couple of my plums are already swelling. I might as well go ahead and cut them now knowing a freeze in early April will get them.

Sorry to hear that Joe, talk about freaky weather at the wrong time of the year! Hopefully you’ll get more fruit than you originally expected from all this.
We got close to 80 last week, and a few days in the 70s too, and now it’s cooling down back to seasonal temps, supposed to have a light freeze tonight. Not good that some of my peaches have some swelling buds. But my other trees seem to still be asleep. Grass looks like someone dumped green paint on it last week, tho. Might to have to start mowing soon.

It’s a widespread hail storm. Some cars flipped over on the freeway so we took the side roads. These are hail, not snow.

Here freezing rain is a pain, the roads can be a sheet of ice. I have been on roads where many of the cars are spinning in circles as they go by, That’s never good.
Snow, we just break out the snow mobiles. We are used to it. Heck we even golf in the snow here, just put chains on your tires!
