This was the same for us Gary here in S.Calif., in fact have had an unusual warm winter until it hit us with all it's glory last week. We have had record breaking lows day & night. All I know is that it is bloody cold & my joints can't take it! -- Cheers Wendy No Spam Email Address Invalid V_coerulea wrote: Talk about crazy, we were 76 degrees day before yesterday, 63 overnight. Yesterday got up to 65, 35 overnight. Todays high was 48 and we have winter storm warnings for overnight. Nothing like they got in the middle of the country. What made it worse was we were in the 70's (which is well above normal) for over 2 weeks and above normal since mid Dec so it's a real shock. The heater's going to do overtime tonight and tomorrow.

Their website has some nice overhead views, I do not see smokestacks. I am also wondering if SBOE is set up for the weather they have had the past few nights. Crazy weather, we were in the 50's some of those nights. Pat |

But, there is still a lot of rural MO that has gotten hit harder. Thank you for thinking of us. Nancy And how are the MO people doing? I know you have a large section still without power. Do we need some re-populating efforts scheduled for May? SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/orchids |

Thanks for this Tom, interesting reading. The ground is 5 degrees warmer if watered??? It's not really warmer. With outdoor gardening (in the ground, not pots) the soil is still pretty warm when those first fall frosts occur. Wet soil does a much better job at conducting some of that warmth to the surface where it can make a few degrees difference to the plants growing there. The article was about protecting a garden from early frosts and quite a bit of it doesn't apply to orchids in a greenhouse. Steve |
