New Brunswick is seeing lower than average snowfall totals, which could impact production for fruit farmers. At Streatch's cranberry farm, the fruit is protected by flooding the bogs to create a thick layer of ice. Snowfall on top of that is an added layer that keeps the ice solid when temperatures rise above freezing. New Brunswick cranberry bogs are flooded as part of the harvesting process. The province has also seen temperatures two to four degrees above historic averages for December and January, she said.
