My 1051 Ciliberto has a 9' vine which looks healthy enough, but the leaves are not opening on the last four or so feet of vine.  They opened partialy and stayed in that position, but the vine is still growing.  Am I o.k. on this do you think?

I think it is cold injury plus lack of sun, based on the weather last week.  All of squash family in my garden have different levels of severity.  With the warming they seem to be growing out of it.  My AG's were not effected as bad as yours though.
