NW Arkansas was clobbered by the cold spell earlier this month which hit right when the oaks were putting out the little pollen beards. People say it got down to 17 degrees F, and was way below freezing for several days. The result is some sad, freeze-dried looking trees -- oaks, and some others. Other trees, like maples, have pretty green leaves.
When I flew in on Friday, I wondered where the green leaves were. Things are looking better now, but people predict no acorns, no mast for deer, squirrels and feral hogs. Guess we'll just have to eat those guys and spare them the hardship.
