Valentine's Day Date with Our Data Loggers

Every 30 days, we need to go to our vineyard in order to download our data from our data loggers. We had been putting off this rendezvous with our vineyard because of the cold and the snow (yes, we are weather wimps), but the logger was filling up with data and we recently received our snow cleats, so we were plumb out of excuses. So on Valentine's Day, we had a date with our Data Loggers. We waited until the temperature warmed up from a low of -6 ^oF at 6 a.m. this morning to about 30 ^oF at 1 p.m. We bundled up in our warmest clothes and then made the trek to the land.

When we got home from the land, we downloaded the data and found that not only was it very cold this morning, we also had a negative temperature event on February 6th at 7:30 a.m.

After we got back to our truck, we reflected that the trek to the Data Loggers was just as good as a stair master workout at the Y. We always joke about cross training in the vineyard, but winter brings an entirely new meaning to cross training.
