Boyce, you left out the bone-chilling -11° F degrees in our area, and the
weeks of single digits, and the 4 days at 0° F. Our temperature swings
haven't been as grotesque as Jim Waddick's more on he order of 30-35
degrees--but It's not like gardening on the West Coast. I think that your
average tempearure of 25.5° is due to being closer to the lakefront the
lakefront, and topography which protects the garden from more northerly
winds. Your snowfall also was lesser than in my yard, just 15 miles from
We easily had 2 feet on the ground from time to time. I think some of your
temps were the official ones recorded at O'Hare, yes? Does the Botanic
Garden keep weather records?
