It was super windy and rainy yesterday.
Today it looks calm out. Still sheets of ice and lots of snow. Too cold for the rain to melt anything.

Cooler today for us. I checked our peach trees. it doesn't look like the have recieved enough chill hours yet. The fruiting wood (last year's growth) hasn't turned red enough yet. I'm no expert by any means but overall it seems to have been a lot milder of a winter, than I remember from precious years. Sounds like you are getting a colder winter than your used too?
From AI and for example...
Redhaven Peach Chill Hours:
The Redhaven peach requires 800–900 chill hours (hours below 45°F or 7°C) during winter to properly set fruit and bloom in spring.
Here's the number of chill hours below 45F we received last year and so far this year. I think we'll make it this year.
Next week I believe FB said is going to.be snow melt temperatures. That's OK with me. I need to do first delayed dormant spray anyways.
