The cellular damage from that freeze didn't show right away.It really sticks out like a sore thumb now when you look at plants and bushes the last 2 Three days ago, japanese maples looked fine.Today, pretty much everyone i've come across. looks just like this one.

The above was written a few days ago. The main abortions of fruitlits has been occurring for the last three days.

https://extension.psu.edu/pennsylvania-tree-fruit-phenology-report-april-21-2026/ Frost Ring Formation Throughout much of the state overnight between April 20-21, temperatures posed a serious risk to fruit crops. Apple, peach, and pear crops may have experienced varying levels of damage depending on developmental stage and site-specific conditions. Apples are at petal fall in Adams County and at full bloom in Center County. Although fertilized flowers and young fruitlets are less sensitive to freezing temperatures than blossoms at full bloom, exposure to critical temperatures may have resulted in tissue injury, leading to embryo damage, fruitlet abortion, or subsequent quality defects. There was also potential for frost ring formation under the forecasted conditions

I knew it was going happen before it did. It wasn't just about the freeze.It was also about the stage of fruit development.

I apologize if it's already been talked about. I'm haven't been stopping around the forum too much lately. Many fruit farms are reporting 100% loss of fruit as of today from the last freeze. I myself also lost everything. The last freeze did turn out to be locally, one of the most agricultural devastating freezes since i've been a member here.

Absolutely, I saw that in the discussion today, pray for clouds and wind.

This isn't the usual freeze hype . Tonight's the real deal and a very concerning situation for local fruit farmers. Any amount of time at or below 28°F will be catastrophic to local fruit farming. Cherry and apple fruitlets have already developed. Fruitlets go from alive and well at 29°F to complete cellular damage and abortion at 28°F.

The animagraffs youtube channel is awesome. This is the Big Boy.

For anyone who doesn't know, this articulated 4-8-8-4 is not just the god of all steam engine, but it's the god of all mechanical creations, and everyone, and everything should be bowing to it except for god himself.

I don't think there's probably any better time for you to start that project than now. I had a very nice platform for years, but I took it down so that I could have room to start building custom fishing rods. I've been trying to devise a way that I can set my platform back up and also have room for building rods. If it's something then you decide to get started on (depending on gauge) I have no shortage of extra track, model coal and foliage that I could pack up and send to a p o box. The tracks have built up a little bit of surface corrosion over the years so they would need some cleaning before they can conduct properly.

Entropy should probably be saved for another forum. Lol
