var myblog='<p>Cool East River Soil Temperatures</p><p>Colder than average air temperatures over the last 30 days over all but the northwest part of the state along with recent snowfalls are keeping <a href="http://climate.sdstate.edu/awdn/maps/soilmaps.asp?parameter=s010">east river soil temperatures</a> only slightly above freezing.  West River 4" soil temperatures are faring a little better.  Warmer temperatures statewide are forecast, but addition precipitation over the next week may still hold down temperature progress.  Wet soils warm more slowly because of the additional energy required to evaporate water at the surface and the additional heat content of the water in the soil.</p>';
