Check Thermometers
The heating season is here.
Take time to double-check your
thermometers for accuracy, says
James K. Rathmell, Jr., Ex
tension floriculture and nursery
agent. One practical method of
checking thermometers is to
place them in cracked ice for
about 15 minutes. They should
read 32 degrees. Discard them if
they don’t read 32 degrees. If you
do replace one thermometer,
check the new thermometer the
same way, adds Rathmell.
