Freeze Warning In Effect
A freeze warning remained in effect during the week, with the first one being issued late last Friday. The warnings usually take place between midnight and 9:00am. At least two hours of temperatures fell to between 29- and 32-degrees. Impacts include damage to sensitive plants and harm to outdoor pets. A freeze warning means temperatures 29 and 32 for two or more consecutive hours are imminent. Protective measures to save crops and sensitive vegetation should be taken. Vulnerable animals and pets should be kept indoors, in a house or barn. A winter freeze hit much of the Ventura County over the 2014-15 New Year’s weekend, including Fillmore orchards.
