This is a full month later than the Winnipeg airport site which posted a -0.5C reading on Sept 27th. The last freezing temperature in the spring at the Forks site was a -0.1C reading on May 11th.. resulting in a frost free season of 165 days downtown. Compare this to the Winnipeg airport site which had an official growing season of only 116 days this year (June 3rd - Sep 26th), a full 7 weeks shorter than downtown. <BR/><BR/>Here in Charleswood, my 2008 frost free season was 151 days from May 12th to Oct 9th, 5 weeks longer than the airport site.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.com
