...GROWING SEASON HAS ENDED WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...

Several nights of widespread at and below freezing temperatures
have occurred west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As a result, the
growing season has ended for those areas west of the Blue Ridge.
Freeze/Frost products will resume in the spring when the growing
season begins.

The growing season now has ended for the following counties:

-In Maryland: Garrett, Allegany, Washington

-In West Virginia: Mineral, Grant, Pendleton, Hardy, Hampshire,
 Morgan, Berkeley, Jefferson

-In Virginia: Highland, Augusta, Rockingham, Shenandoah,
 Frederick, Clarke, Warren, Page, Central and Northern Blue Ridge

For the rest of our area, Freeze/Frost products will continue to
be issued until the first widespread freeze occurs. If a freeze
has not occurred east of the Blue Ridge by November 15, we will
end the growing season on that date.
