I know ... I was just sending a blast from our past.
I got to meet he and kenny at a vineyard they played in Arrington,
TN ... both were very nice.
ARRINGTON, TN (WSMV) -
Arrington Vineyards in Williamson County used helicopters early
Thursday morning to warm the air in an effort to keep frost off their
grape vines.
Two helicopters circled the vineyard to warm the air for hours.
Throughout the morning, censors showed the air temperature was below
32 degrees, which could kill vegetation.
Kip Summers, the president of Arrington Vineyards, said the
temperature dropped as low as 29 degrees, so the choppers didn't
prevent frost at the lowest locations. However, the helicopters
prevented a prolonged freeze event, and many of the fruit clusters on
the frosted vines survived.
Summers said without the help from the helicopters, he thinks they
would have suffered a 100 percent crop loss. He said he thinks they
lost only 10 percent of their crops from the freeze.
