Frost Prevention in Almonds

Windy and cold conditions are forecasted for the next few nights. The temperature is expected to drop just below freezing, indicating the possibility of an advection frost. If temperatures stay above 28F, damage should be minimal. Never-the-less, windy conditions will remove heat from the orchard, reducing the effectiveness of frost prevention measures.
