For what it’s worth, I think the bone crushing cold a couple of weekends ago should mean a much better season for browntail this summer regardless of this weekend’s temp. My understanding is that 48 hours below 10 degrees has a significant impact on their reproduction.

If anyone has different or better info on this please correct me as a reply.

There's also a fungus that attacks them when it's wet and cold... and we've gotten a lot of that in central. I'm hopeful that their numbers will be lessened this year!
