| episode_narrative | A record cold arctic air mass overspread northern and western Maryland overnight on the 9th and 10th, dropping temperatures into the upper teens to lower 20s across the entire area. These temperatures were on the heels of an above normal winter season, especially in late March, when peach and apple blossoms reached critical bloom stage about 1 week ahead of schedule. Significant, but not total, kills of peaches and Red Delicious apples were noted. However, near total kills of small fruits (strawberries, cherries, and plums) was reported. Apple and peach damage varied from 20 to 80 percent "kill."At least 1870 acres were affected, 1421 of those in Washington Co (MDZ003), where apple and peach orchards are prevalent. An estimated $1 million in damage occurred there. Damage was also noted in Allegany, Frederick, and Montgomery Cos (MDZ002-004-009) with an estimated $150, $112, and $75 thousand, respectively. Lesser damage was reported across the eastern piedmont and coastal plain. |
