Temp was 28 f when I got up at 3:00am went back to bed. Got up at 6:00 and it’s 27 degrees. I’m doubting we will be able to dig until noon here if at all today.
My brother lives a little further away from the lake and his temperature is 25 F degrees.
They are calling for lake effect rain and snow for next couple days right along the shore.
Well I was wrong about digging. I just got a heads up text from our field representative. She said our temperature was good enough to dig and we would be getting a phone blast telling us our zone can start digging at 7:00 am. Closer to the lake keeps our temperatures more moderate. It doesn’t warm up or cool down quite as fast as inland. It also gives us lake effect showers and snow.

It started here shortly before the sun went down. Then it turned into a pretty good snow squall. We had less than two rounds to do and it was snowing so hard we decided to quit before we finished the field. No more than told the trucks to just go home after they dumped them beets and it stopped.
Decided to stay at it till we finished the field. Finished about 10:30 pm.
We had a huge day. I dug 56 acres. I’ve dug more acres than that before but these are 45+ ton beets.
I load 150 carts and the carts loaded 75 big trucks. We got over 2,500 tons of beets hauled to the piles.
Just got text from field rep. She said we can dig at 7:00am. I’m thinking we are going to wait until daylight. Look things over. Need to move to a different field

Looks likes things are coming along for you guys, Brian.
We had our first hard freeze last night, 25 deg.A couple of weeks late for here. Should have 2 more, tonight and tomorrow then back to warmer weather. What we need is rain. We are in a severe drought and have been for 2 months now. For Oct we've had 46" and that is about 1/2 of our normal rain. With all the leaves almost down and the dry conditions fire is a real concern and also it's been windy here.
