Eastside -- Westside

A recent issue of the Finger Lakes Vineyard notes (published by Cornell Cooperative Extension) has an page which outlines the winter low temps during this past winter at several points in the Finger Lakes wine region. I would be glad to fax or mail it to you.

In summary it generally shows that the warmest areas in the Finger Lakes region are the Dresden--Glenora area on the west side of Seneca and the Lodi (or just south of there) to Hector on the east side of the Seneca.

Every monitering point did show temps below 0 at some point during the winter. The coldest readings (according to this report) were a -9, at a point just south of Romulus on Cayuga Lake, and a -7 on the west side of Keuka north of Hammondsport.

Next we will have to watch for the Spring frosts, although we have not yet seen bud break.
