 | Title : Our recent gains lost
 | Date  : 06 Apr 07:30 AM
 | Votes : Good: 17   Bad: 7
 +----------------------------------------------

The featured chart is of daily average 4 inch soil temperatures from the Ames ISUAG site.  With the return of cold artic air, the near-surface soil has little chance of holding the recently gained warmth. With temperatures back around freezing, the impact on vegetation that got an early start on spring during the last two weeks may be fatal.
