A Raleigh farmer sat in his car Thursday morning guarding his strawberry crops from near-freezing temperatures. He'll likely have to do the same thing Friday morning. Temperatures dropped into the low to mid 30s Thursday morning, and a frost advisory was issued for Raleigh. At Page Farms on Mount Herman Road, owner Danny Page was watching his berries to make sure they weren't ruined in the cold weather. Once the strawberries reached 32 degrees, he turned on the sprinkler system to keep temperatures at bay.
