well here its 6 of one.
its unlikely in the day time we will have much more below 30 but its
supposed to get to 24 this weekend (like they can tell for sure) it was
supposed to get to 20F at night FRI or sat here but never quite made it.
my lettuces that the herb lady said made it to 9F don't look so great but
everythign else does.
