November/December Weather Stats

Since everyone is talking about weather, lets look at our stats for November/December.
Dry weather came back again in November/December. Average temperatures for December took a big hit the last 6 days of the month with the current cold that has set in.

Most of our greens have some snow cover on them which helps to insulate from drying below zero winds. Not overly concerned about these below 0 temperatures, Guessing we will get some bug populations knocked back a bit, will definitely hurt some bermuda and might significantly weaken some poa annua. Bentgrass handles this type of cold pretty well.
