Our young apricot tree is in full bloom. It is supposed to rain
overnight, turning to snow, 3-6 inches and temps around 30deg F.
The blossoms have been full of bees but will freeze at that temperature.
Our 20 yr old tree looks as though it died over winter.

That means the only apricot jam/butter I will make this summer will be
from store or farmer's market bought fruit. Sigh.

I remember snow in Denver on the Saturday before Mother's Day. Don't
think there was very much and probably didn't last long.

30F may not be that bad and the rain may even
be protective. good luck!

Here in southeastern Wisconsin they are predicting 1" of snow & faling to 23
degrees overnight. Here we go again. Glad I didn't put the snow shovel away
yet :-) John
