Almost every year a reading in the 70's may occur in November, but 80 degree tempera- tures in the month are extremely rare. The last time an 80 degree day occurred so late in the season was on November 6, 1948. Precipitation for the month totaled inches on eight rainy days. This is inches below normal for November. It was only the second month in the past eight which did not have excessive rain- fall. The amount for the first eleven months of 1975 is , already about ten inches more than the normal annual total. The unseasonal warm weather has brought about spring-like devel- opments. Blossoming of forsythia bushes and dandelions is quite common. There is some concern by growers over the rapid expansion of fruit buds and the occasional open blossom seen on early blueberry varieties. Should the warm spell be succeeded by a rapid change in weather before the growing tissues could become dormant severe dam- age might result. The latest estimate of the New Jersey Crop Reporting Service put the cranberry crop at 235,000 barrels, 6% below the record crop of 1974 but 3% above 1973. The blueberry production was more sharply lower with the 1975 crop at 2,079,000 trays, 13% below the record crop of 1974.
