Martin, I just bought a new Grass Minimum Thermometer from Fairmount
Weather Systems which is graduated in 0.5°c increments, however, you can
easily make a judgment of 0.1 - 0.2°c intervals. I was wondering how
your grass minimum was recorded as 9.3°c? Synops only report to the
nearest whole °c.

Just curious.

Thanks
