Uncovered.

Post by wxman » Mon Mar 05, 2012 3:09 pm

Hit 34F today, low tonight is 28F. Tomorrow's high 53F, Wednesday 56F. Then 40s/50s/60s for rest of 15 day outlook.

Uncovered my trachys. Looks like they pulled through last nights debacle. It hit 8F when the forecast low was in the 20s. I didn't have any heat on and the internal temperature of the enclosures hit 12F. Ugh.

I expect them to be fine, but yes, let us know no matter what.

Wow it's 50F out. Can't wait to see how the trachys are responding to the sunshine and warmth. Might be near 60 by the time I get home.
