Christmas is coming - with a hard freeze

The totally unseasonal beautiful warm weather is over!  Luckily for us we are having lots of rain this week at the garden so all the plants will be nicely hydrated for the hard freeze that is going to happen over the next few days.

  Fri 21st     low 29, high 45
  Sat 22nd   low 25, high 52
  Sun 23rd  low 30, high 56

Our Christmas present will be no freezing temperatures Mon, Tues, Weds but we will get more rain.

But starting with Thursday the 27th we are back in that cycle of freezy, frosty weather.

 Thurs 27th   low 35, high 48
 Fri 28th        low 28, high 51
 Sat 29th       low 29, high 54
 Sun 30th      low 33, high not announced yet

Subject to change of course! The above predictions are based on what The Weather Channel was saying at 8:30 am Thursday morning. It is best to check frequently if you are planning on putting your frost cover on. Also remember to vent your frost cover if the temperatures are going to be above 50 for very long! This will help prevent disease and heat problems.

Just remember that when The Weather Channel shows the high/low for each day the high is for the day indicated, the low is for the NEXT morning! It is sooo easy to get confused and cover too soon or not soon enough.

      Safe Travels and Have a Merry Christmas
