Well in Sunny Southern California we had strange weather yesterday. It was rainy and about 66 degrees! This by the way for our readers outside the Golden State is freezing!

This could lead to the chiller turning on later or the heater coming on too soon. Either way, we know that temperature swings lead to catastrophe so wipe down those probes or calibrate your temperature controller.
