Spring Temperatures Update

Here are the weather stats for the last 4 days:
                                                                                                           (82 avg)           (58 avg)
                      Hi    Avg Hi    Diff             Lo   Avg Lo    Diff             July Hi equiv    July Lo equiv
March 19       74      36        +38            59      18         +41                  120                    99
March 18       74      35        +39            47      17         +30                  121                    88
March 17       70      34        +36            36      17         +19                  118                    77
March 16       71      34        +37            32      16         +16                  119                    74

Pretty scary comparison.  I think I could safely say, if we were to experience a similar stretch of weather in the middle of the summer, almost every growing plant in the state of North Dakota would be dead. 

However, since this is still early spring, everything loves it!  The grass on the course is already starting to green up nicely, a full 3-4 weeks ahead of where we were at last year.  I don't think anyone is complaining.  Just don't ask me the same thing if this were July....
