I usually never plant my garden till I see two straight weeks of above 40 degree temperatures. This year I decided to go with Accuview weather forecast and they predicted above 40 degrees for the next two weeks so we planted our garden last week. This morning I got the following alert in my email. I thought I'd pass it along for those of you who were early planters and may want to cover your plants with something tonight.
COLD TEMPS EXPECTED TONIGHT.
.COLD AIR FROM ONTARIO WILL FILTER INTO N. MI TONIGHT
BEHIND A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL MOVE OVER THE STATE THIS
AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION
TONIGHT.WHICH WILL GENERATE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES & LIGHT WINDS
WHICH WILL AID IN THE COLDER TEMPS READINGS EARLY SUNDAY.
