The Glades overnight. Easy to tell there was plenty of air mixing at times overnight. Light SE breezes at times.  Temp fell to 41 by 11pm overnight, then a rise to 51 by 1am, back to 43, back to 50 to a calm period before dawn allowing for the temp to fall back to 40. Now, Bittinger 2nw Valley being more protected, did not see the mixing and did not see the rapid falls and rises. It also  doesn’t cool as rapidly as the bog in prime conditions. 2018-07-09-08-04-00
