Sorry, but that's incorrect.....-DA's are rare even on the east coast. I've been in the game for a long time. Thus far in 2010 here we have had........0 days/nights with DA's under 0 when the track has been open (Cecil/Capital/Mason-Dixon/MIR). These are tracks around 100' in elevation (except Mason-Dixon which is 600'). Temperature isn't much difference b/w Cecil/Capital and ATCO/Englishtown. Only time you get - DA's is perhaps in March (not this year) and early Nov-Dec (maybe late Oct farther N) if the track stays open that late in the year. Can you have an oddity day under 0 in April/early Oct.....sure, but it only happens once or so every other year. I don't doubt you had a stray day in Ark under 0, but to say "all the time" is totally false for our area.
