A LOOK BACK AT PAST FREEZES IN APRIL....

April 14: 27 degrees
2007
April 5: 29 degrees
April 6: 26 degrees
April 7: 22 degrees (record)

April 9: 27 degrees
The freeze in 2007 caused widespread damage to crops and fruit trees across the Midwest.
The freeze taking place next week will not last as long as the one in 2007 though we could easily tie or break the old record high on Tuesday morning.
