According to this morning's NY Times, New York City is in its longest snow-free period since 1878.
I'm not complaining, though. We need a new roof and I'm very happy the weather's going to let the roofers get to it sooner rather than later. |

This is going to mess everything up. All the plants are going to sprout new buds then we are going to get a long freeze.
Somehow, someway, we're gonna pay for this. We'll probably get a foot of snow in April.

I'm pretty sure blueberries around here will suck, they need a whole pile of subfreezing hours to fruit. (400-500 hours below 45f to break dormancy) I've already heard the apple farmers freaking out. Not sure of the impact on maple syrup, i.e. if the sap is running early, too early, not gonna.
Last year was a record crop for the apple orchards and they lost a shitload of it because they could find enough pickers.

it's messed up all over. Germany, Scandinavia and the Soviet countries are all far above average. Meanwhile the North Pole is 10 below normal.

If we get a good hard freeze after budding the fruit trees are in trouble.

I missed the word "dawg" in your post, Dag.
