Weather

Tonights forecast and the forecast fore the next few days s to be quite cold. However the forecast is not calling for the temperature to dip below the 25 degree mark for very long. Above is a screen shot from the most recent hourly forecast. 
Several factors are in place that assures us that our greens are safe. First is the moisture levels in the soil are high, which slows the rate the soil temperature drops. Second is the current soil temps are warm. And to top it off, the damp top layer will freeze quickly acting like a blanket to the soil below. 
So although it is going to be cold, the forecast is still out side of our "danger zone".
