... snow at Easter time! Well, the day before Easter. Granted, it melted by midday, but still, few here can recall any other time in recent years where we had snow in central NC in April.
One effect of the weather-down-to-the-20's on Easter weekend was that many of the apple and peach crops of NC will be small this year. The trees had already budded, and the hard freeze killed most of the blooms. One news article estimates that up to 90% of NC's apple and peach crops could be gone this year, and possibly 40% of our blueberry crops too. Some farmers lost everything this year. What a mercy, to know that even though we don't understand, our God is still in control of the weather and our lives.
