All,

The forecast low for last night was 30 degrees F. My location got all the way down to 49 degrees with a strong breeze!

A miss of a few degrees is OK, but 19?!

I could do that job!

Hopefully, the wind will decrease and temps remain stable.

Hooray!

The forecasters have been more wrong this year than anytime in recent history.  For reference, see the "great" Atlantic hurricane season of 2006.

Larry,

Is that really true? wow... I didn't know that.. I guess because it's been relatively warm all winter so far, that I think it feels like the arctic out there. My lowest reading in my garden so far this season has been 19.8.... I think it might be beat on Friday though.. It's supposed to get even colder before it warms up. I think these next couple weeks are the coldest ones of the season before we start a warm-up.

Many of the areas arounf the country have been lulled into forgetting what winter actually is, or can be.  I know I have been lulled to sleep down here, but I dont mind it one bit.
