79.5 degrees.

Not bad huh? The soil 10 ft away is at about 50.0 degrees.

It was a frigid day with a lot of hail, so none of that heat came from anywhere else. The temp dropped only about 10 degrees in 2 days. If the temp drop is modeled by exponential decay then I think (based on my calculations) 8 days from now the soil will be down to 60 degrees. But thats if the weather is poor for 8 days. If we get some sunny days or warmer weather, maybe it will hold above 60.

Im pleased enough with this result... I think it should buy a 3-4 week head start. Soil cables might be better, of course...
