Assessing and Managing Cold Damage

I found a downloadable PDF called Assessing and Managing Cold Damage in Washington Vineyards, written by Michelle Moyer, Lynn Mills, Gwen Hoheisel, and Markus Keller. It is a 12 page document that gives information on how to make an assessment of bud damage in the vineyard prior to pruning.
Here is a photo showing how to assess trunk damage.
There are also two YouTube Videos made by Hans Walter-Peterson of the Cornell Cooperative Extension on how to do field testing for bud injury prior to pruning. Here are the links:
Bud Injury Testing Part 1
Bud Injury Testing Part 2
Perhaps, too late for this year, but worth remembering for the future.
