CMC goes full arctic

Notice how that cold lobe always extends down into the Similkameens
Makes the lake ice thicker

06Z GooFuS is trending warmer.

Outlier. We're in the pullback stage, don't worry it happens literally every time.

A trellis is a good idea. Did you grow them in the greenhouse also?

I grew them in my greenhouse up strings, just like the tomatoes, so they didn't take up much space. I've been having trouble with my tomatoes and getting a pretty poor yield which is frustrating so I'll keep a couple of cherry tomatoes for in-the-garden snacking and try some other things in the prime greenhouse space.

A couple of years ago I grew cantaloupe in a greenhouse on string. I was sick of cantaloupe by the end of the summer haha. They were very sweet though

Same trend we saw in December, and every other cold snap I can remember. The EPS is still on our side at this range and that's all you really need to see. Operational runs get confused or something.

I grew a bunch of cantaloupe and honeydews last year, also some watermelon. Trellis make a huge difference I would say! Also I had some huge yields and I kept seeds so if anyone needs some let me know!

That's right Kells, l remember that last month about the same time frame l remember thinking rug pull and sure enough they came back around it was the cut off low that the models were having difficult with.

No I grew them in raised beds on the south side of my house. I don’t have a greenhouse but that is a warm
Sunny spot with some heat radiating off the house. Also similar to cucumbers, I found I got much healthier plants by direct seeding with a little extra protection early on. They don’t seem to like having their roots disturbed when transplanting

That cutoff low sliding east under the Alaskan ridge in the days 7-9 range is pretty problematic. It’s a tough, if not impossible conduit to arctic air on the south coast with that setup. Yesterday’s JMA looked the same.
