Winter Storm Ion Causes Huge Temperature Changes

Since when have winter storms been given names?!

Blame the Weather Channel. They began their controversial practice of systematically naming significant winter storms in November 2012. Read all about it here .

I harvested a bunch of greens yesterday afternoon in 53 degree weather. I spent an hour cutting arugula, tatsoi, bokchoy, collards, mustard, turnips, kale. There are still plenty of baby greens out there, but today an arctic wind is blowing. A winter storm is bringing snow and dangerously cold temperatures to the eastern half of the United States. The mid-west is already covered up and suffering sub-zero temps. We are expected to plummet to a low of 9 degrees overnight.

I am so disappointed to lose my winter greens! They are sure to perish … with or without protective cover.
