Daily News | Hard freeze early Sunday and Monday in the Philly region could kill some ambitious blooms and blossoms
January and February ranked among the warmest winter months on record. In fact, the four days through the first half of March with below-normal temperatures exceeded the total for all of January and February.After a cold start, readings Sunday afternoon are forecast to rise no higher than the low 40s in the city and then plummet early Monday under mostly clear skies with light winds, “ideal” for daytime warmth radiating efficiently into space.
Martin said it could be a rough night for the magnolia blooms, some of which took a hit during a hard freeze at the end of March last year. “Magnolias that are showing petal color, or out, will likely get nipped,” said Bill Cullina, executive director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Morris Arboretum, in Chestnut Hill, one of the colder spots in the city.Cherry blossoms might be vulnerable “if it drops into the lower 20s, though cherries are much more resilient than magnolias,” he said. It is at least possible that temperatures will get the low in the perennial cold spots of Pottstown and Millville, Martin said.
Cullina said those below-normal March days were valuable in that they gave ambitious plants the message to cool it. “We were two weeks ahead going into the month, but now at most a week ahead to almost typical as far as things coming out of dormancy,” he said.
