Frozen out before bloom, bummer

Have some good bloom coming on sweet cherry, apple, and pear. Near first bloom right now on cherry. Full bloom on Asian pear. Comice and Bosc about to open. It looks like 90% or more of the cherry and Olympic Giant now opening are already frozen out. I wasn't expecting this. Usually the buds are pretty hardy until they open. We were down near 20F eight days ago.

I've seen a lot of freeze damage. But nearly always during or after bloom.
