Seneca Falls NY 13148
Still in the low to mid 30s during the day with off and on snow flurries predicted for all week. . Only had about 5 days the whole winter where the girls could get out and fly... Last year at this time it was warm for a couple of weeks but then had a reall bad cold snap towards the middle/end of April which reaked havoc on the apple trees and the bees.
