Blackberry Winter in East TN May 7 - 9, 2020

Knoxville tied the record low temperature of 37 degrees F on May 7, 2020.
Knoxville tied the record low temperature of 36 degrees F on May 9, 2020.
A 114 year old record low temperature may be broken tomorrow morning.

The low temp this morning on Mount LeConte was 14 degrees F and they picked up 2" of snow overnight.

Here on the farm the low temp on May 7, 2020 was 32 degrees F and vehicles were iced over in the morning.

The low temp on the farm on May 9, 2020 was 30 degrees F, another frosty morning.

Last week I admired some of the wild blackberry canes that are growing here on the farm, some floricanes have pretty little white flower blossoms that will become blackberries, and now we have frost and freeze warnings, and therefore it is a blackberry winter.
