Bit chilly last night, and still November

 The lowest temperature recorded outside last night here was 8.9 degrees F.

It is nice having someone in the family who likes fiddling with electronic things.   Some time ago, George installed a couple of temperature sensors.  The data is recorded on Weather Direct, and  I can download it.   We move the sensors around to where they are needed most.   Earlier this year, one was in the greenhouse.

At the moment, one sensor is outside the house, and another is down in the root cellar.  

The single root cellar sensor has been showing a temperature ranging from around 39 to 41 degrees.  The cold-loving veggies are at floor level, and the ones that need a warmer temperature are on the higher shelves.   When the root cellar gets too chilly, I crack open the door that goes from the root cellar into the regular cellar.  

No more frequent trips to the root cellar to check the old thermometer inside, and no more wondering how cold the root cellar got last night!
