I've noted the temperature difference in my neighborhood before. Turns out the thermometer on the front window wasn't so accurate. I have used another thermometer out front for a few nights now.
There could still be a difference there because of residual heat where I have it placed. However, the official low last night was between 17 and 21 degrees. The front of my house logged 13 degrees.
Tonight the expected low is 16. Official temperature now is 24. More than an hour ago, last time I checked the thermometer it already read 21. So, probably be below 10 degrees here in the morning.
The younger dog still wants to be a problem. He has gotten in the garden, chewed up part of the irrigation lines and sprinklers, destroyed several tomato supports, turned over several plant containers and dug in the compost. I know he has crapped back there and I just haven't found it yet.
He figured out that running over the invisible fence line fast enough gives him a very small shock. So, I first tried turning the setting higher, to extend the range. That didn't work. So I placed a second collar on him. That did the trick. He got a real good shock once and has limited his roaming to avoid even the beeping of his collar now. I'm not happy causing him pain but want him to stop destroying things. Even today I tried grabbing him by the ears and telling him no before adding the second collar but 2 minutes later he had crossed the line again.
I took more containers in the solarium today and planted garlic.
Daughter made the choice to not go to Cliff's this year. I explained this would be the last weekend. She wanted to stay home, instead.
