The storm system is still on it's way here.  It was 70 degrees today, and they're predicting 6-8 inches of snow tomorrow for our area with lows around 30 :( 

 The front edge of the system rolling in tonight

So I spent some time tonight making a quick trip to Lowe's for some thermometers to see what the minimum temps in the vineyard get down to.  I installed three - one each at the high, mid, and low points on the hill.  They will record min temps until cleared, so I'll be able to see how cold it got.

One of the thermometers I set up to track lows

The last things I did were to put out fresh gopher poison for my friend who's been tearing up the ground with holes and to check the buds - definitely starting to swell and push - even more than two days ago.  Crossing my fingers they're still bundled up enough to make it through this!!

Buds are more open than even two days ago.
