Wow, I'm so glad I'm not a grower with a Spring strawberry crop in the field right now trying to decipher to what extent I needed to worry about this "freeze." It seems that the very guys who are absolutley convinced that the earth will be one degree warmer 50 years from now have widely divergent opinions about how cold it's going to get tonight and the next few nights, or apparently whether or not we're going to get a freeze at all. Here are two different scenarios for Washington DC low temperatures over the next few days:
The Weather Channel vs Washington's WJLA TV
Friday 33 vs 29
Saturday 33 vs 27
Sunday 35 vs 30
Monday 37 vs 31
Quite a difference in predictions. For any non-agricultural readers, there is a huge difference in the few degrees between freezing and not-freezing, at least in the plant world. One scenario has no freeze at all, the other has a hard freeze for four nights in a row. Thank god for my desk job, and heating cables for my palms.
