mahantango#1 Posted Sunday at 10:46 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:46 PM 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!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted yesterday at 01:09 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:09 PM We have received measurable rain in 5 of the last 6 days across the county. Below normal temperatures are likely to continue today through Friday before we warm back to above normal by the weekend. The best chances of rain will be Wednesday into Thursday morning.

Jns2183 Posted yesterday at 05:21 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:21 PM I've been reading up on some old time weather events around this area. Anyone know where I can get some more information regarding the August 22, 1915 Hanover tornado? Seems like it was probably part of line, and was more likely than not high end EF-2/low end EF-3 that went straight through downtown. Apparently gloves from the glove factory were found many many miles away. I pulled up the reanalysis maps and it was definitely a high shear low cape. Seemed like Harrisburg area got firehosed picking up 4"-5" of rainSent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older I get, the more I despise the cold. When I was young, I didn't mind it, but as I got older I started to dislike it. Now I flat out hate it. If it's really cold, it can be downright painful, but in general, I just hate bundling up anymore, and love the freedom of a short sleeve shirt and shorts/jeans. As for the snow and ice, that's a trucking thing. If I worked inside and just had a to and from work commute, I'd probably somewhat like snow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahantango#1 Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago 31.6 this morning with frost and ice on the vehicles. This upcoming warmup can't get here soon enough. Covering up plants to protect them from frost is starting to get old. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago 38 when I left the house and 36 through the rurals. Not shabby for mid May. Looks like it won’t be long before we have some sustained warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago F the heat! It’s why I left Texas. The one day in July I was stuck in Houston because storms cancelled my flight made me amazed anything ever was built down there. I never had so many big bites.

Jns2183 Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Thursday with highs in the upper 50's seems like the last chilly day until fall. Maybe we can sneak in a few backdoor fronts in June and have a couple relief days of drizzle. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Widespread lows were in the 30’s overnight with some valley locations near or below freezing this morning. The lowest reading was the 31.5 at Warwick Township. That is tied for the 2nd coldest reading for today’s date across Chester County behind only the 31-degree low recorded at Coatesville in 1907 and Morgantown in 1963, That may well be our last freezing observation across the county until October. We continue with below normal temperatures through the rest of the work week before we warm up to well above normal temperatures starting Saturday and into next week. Rain chances increase by tomorrow night into Thursday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago With all of the talk about cold recently, I had to look up the average date of the last frost in PA. Here are the dates in regional generalities: Southern PA: South of Turnpike: April 21st and April 30th I76/South Central PA: May 1st to May 10th Ridge & Valley: May 11th to May 21st I80 up to Rt. 6: May 21st to May 31st North of Rt. 6: June 1st to June 10th https://www.plantmaps.com/en/us/lf/state/pennsylvania/average-last-frost-dates-map/ Based on that, and given the upcoming forecast, it appears that much of the northern half of PA will see their last cold mornings BEFORE the average date. Unless I'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted 39 minutes ago Share Posted 39 minutes ago The question this summer is will we get any tropical influence or be shut out once more. I think we've had one storm in the past 4-5 years influence us with is far below normal Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
