That's very interesting, most especially the response of soil
temperature at varying depths. At 120 cm it keeps declining well into
March even though air temps have already risen sharply.
And for a period of about 6 weeks the soil was essentially frozen solid
to a depth of one foot, goodness knows how late the spring bulbs
flowered in 1963!
