National Weather Service Says Recent Cold Spell Shouldn’t Impact Soil Temperatures

Share

The all-day snowfall of Tuesday, April 20 was certainly out of the ordinary.

Chris Miller at the National Weather Service says if you were worried about some of those garden plants in the ground, flower beds, or crops in the fields, Miller indicates the overnight colds and frosts will not impact soil temperatures that greatly. He indicates it may delay growth but seeds in the ground should be just fine.

Now the question becomes – will this finally transition us to more consistent weather the rest of the spring? Miller says it is unlikely we’ll see any more snow and maybe even freezes. But temperatures and moisture are going to continue to be up-and-down.
