<p><font face="Georgia">Art, here in northern Illinois, we reached
55 today. Here I was getting a little concerned about the over
accumulation of chill hours since we were reaching around 640
since November 1, 2016. Then I ran a comparison report for the
same time period for 2015/16 and at this time last year we were
at 740!! In 2015 we had a very warm December, hitting near 60
on the 24th, which I had forgotten about. Looks like there's
not to much to be concerned about this year unless this warm
spell stretched out for several weeks and we reach the chill
requirement for some varieties. Could be a colder February or
March to make up for it like last year. We had a later spring
last year by about two weeks. </font><br>
