With the way the weather this year has been so unpredictable, I'd hate to even say, but we're in Wisconsin and know the weather is turning better, although tonight we have an advisory for 2-4" of snow. I guess I'd check your extended forecast and see what it's heading to look like there.

You might also try asking in your state thread and see if anyone there has suggestions.

Funny, I'm in Georgia and logged in to ask the same thing. It's gonna be 70 here today. I know March can be dicey with severe weather but I think days of 10 degrees are over. My last frost date is April 15th, I may take down one section to get more air flow, but I just don't know. Have a great day!

We are in central NJ, we don't take the plastic sheeting down of our covered run till after April 15. And we take one side at a time to provide enough airflow but still provide enough wind protection. In our first two years, we would take all the sides down for the summer. Now we leave one panel permanently up since that's the windy side. Three sides open seem enough to keep the run cool with good airflow.
