Frost advisory's and freeze warnings are out for tonight.

Starting this weekend, we turn a corner & highs in the 70s and 80s will be the norm for the rest of May. local21news.com/weather

We have certainly been surprised and truly grateful at the overwhelming support, concern and prayers on behalf of our family. We greatly appreciate the people who come each summer to our orchard! It was a pleasure to have CBS 21 news come and interview us concerning the impact of the April 21st freeze. The CBS team was both genuine and professional as they assembled the points of interest for the news segment. The value of the potential crop loss, as reported, was accurate. As with most farms, every spring brings fresh hope for a potentially good year. But as farming is very weather dependent events like frosts, freezes, insects, or markets can really take a toll on expected income, as we well know. However, whether it’s a great year, average year, or poor year, input costs remain the same. This is a management scenario most farms take very seriously as we do, and prepare for it financially through rainy day funds, insurance, diversity in crops, etc. Coping with the emotional aspect of something like this can be difficult and at times discouraging. But regardless weather God choses to prosper us or God choses to shape us through adversity our desire is to honor God in our lives as we move forward. So, as God gives us health and strength we will try again next year (2027) to produce our crops of fresh fruits and vegetables for you, our valued customers! With much love, Your Honey Bear Family and Staff (Including Juliet and Georgia, our granddaughters, who are excited to be old enough to wait on customers next year!)

Yes I seen that too and there was one in Lebanon County also. Shame as most of these orchards these people own are their only source of income.

Heard yesterday a local orchard very near me had significant damage from the frost and freeze a few weeks ago.

KEY MESSAGE 2: Frost/freeze risk Monday night/Tuesday morning over the western and central Alleghenies Almost a slam dunk for a widespread frost for more than half the CWA tomorrow night (N and W) - and a freeze in the nrn mtns. Dewpoints will be 25-30F - just low enough to allow the temps to be able to drop, but not too dry to keep frost away. Confidence in frost is near 100 pct, but for freeze is about 49 pct. Due to increasing confidence, frost advy and freeze warnings seem likely, but the consensus among the regional offices on this (midnight) shift was to allow at least one more forecast cycle for that to happen.

.33 rain today, was more than I was expecting.

I wonder what the upcoming winter will bring? Knowing our luck maybe several freezing rain events.

35 with just a touch of frost this morning.

.31 rain today.

84 was the high today. Nice day, wind could have been calmer.

You got it!

Had thunder and lightning and a few drops around 2am. I woke last night to the sound of thunder"How far off?" I sat and wondered

77 for the high today. A much more enjoyable day weatherwise.

.CLIMATE... Multiple low temperature records were set or tied across central Pennsylvania for May 3rd: Altoona observed a low temperature of 31 degrees, breaking the previous record of 32 degrees set in 1957. Johnstown observed a low temperature of 29 degrees, which ties the previous record of 29 degrees set in 1941.

32.5 this morning. NWS said my low was to be near 40. another cold start.

As per 2 of the Harrisburg tv stations said tonight don't get used to the warmer weather coming up the next 2 days. We'll be back to what we just experienced at the end of the week and weekend.

Let us all know when you get back on. We'll have a backlog of posts attributed to the cool below normal temperatures, cloud filled skies, and gusty cold wind at times we have been experiencing since you jumped ship.

37 for the low. And no frost.. thank you lord. Hopefully it will start warming up.

57 for the high today. This cool, mostly overcast weather sucks. And tonight another frost is likely.

.07 rain from the event.
