Oops – what happened to Friday? I started this email but it got lost in a crazy afternoon.  And the weather went crazy, too.

May 10                 May 15

Champlain                           23                           29

Geneva                                45                           55                           10 degree increase from what was expected for the 13^th so we

must be getting warm again (hooray!)

Riverhead (LIHREC)         108                         125                         Some of this big bump is that the Riverhead LIHREC station is

back on line and they are warmer than the MCV station.  Since this is one of the warmest stations in NYS, I’ll stick with LIHREC unless they go offline again!

I’ve heard a little about bud break starting.  What species are breaking bud where you are and do you think you had cold temperature damage to any buds?

Have a great week!
