That may be true, but consider that because the ground is moist from the 
previous systems that have passed through, it will probably get very 
cold at night, irrespective of a forecasted warming trend to whatever 
degree that may be. Be prepared to freeze. After all, it is only March. 
Also, be sure to grease your eyelids with vaseline so they don't freeze 
to the eyepiece.  :-D
