Strawberry season is in full swing in North Carolina, but a frost advisory and temperatures in the low 30s are making things complicated for farmers. Page Farms in Raleigh will not open to the public for strawberry picking on Wednesday as farmers "babysit" and monitor their crops, which draw crowds to the farm each spring. A frost advisory is in effect for central N.C. between 2 a.m. and 9 a.m. At 4 a.m., it was 36 degrees in Raleigh.
