Hello,

Strange season...  Dennis in USDA hardieness zone 4b/5a has leaves on his 
apple trees.  While in Canadian hardiness zone 6a our orchard is
just barely at bud swell (some still totally dormant).

We had a lot of snow on the ground from late Fall through Spring (2-3 feet).  
Would this blanket have kept us dormant longer?  How much
snow was there in Rock City, northern Illinois and how long was it on the 
ground?

We had deep snow so early that frost never made it into the soil, and snow 
plows were turning up sod all winter long.  This type of winter
has not been seen in years.

Thanks,
Tom
