Brian, about now you should be watching for heat buildup during the day. As Worth mentioned, substantial heat buildup can occur. I baked a flat of onion seedlngs in my coldframe a couple of springs ago. If you prop open the lid, make sure you put a weight on top of the lid as well to keep it from trying to turn into a kite if the wind kicks up.
