This is a link about the spring freeze of a few weeks ago and the effect on the early leaves being frozen. My son, Geoff Cornish, with AccuWeather put the story together  after contacting some aborists for their input.

Not only has a mid-May freeze happened before, there was one just three years ago:

0.25" overnight, bumps me all the way up to 0.27" for the week, 55F.

We picked up 0.44" here in East Nantmeal since last night, Cool and breezy today before we start a nice warming trend. Some lower valley spots may touch 90 by next Tuesday. Higher ridge locations are likely to remain in the mid to upper 80's. We will likely see a return to cooler temps toward the end of next week. Our next chance of rain looks to be toward mid-week.

16 of our last 20 days have featured below average temperatures. Today will be another below average day before we start a strong warmup with temperatures by Tuesday approaching 90 degrees across especially the valley locations across the County. A cold front will cross the area later Wednesday with a chance of some showers. Following that front we should see temperatures fall back closer to normal levels by the end of next week.
