The eyes will obviously always be a mystery to me so I dig clumps, huge and small and each one gets the name on the bag as well as a label inside the bag. That way I'll be ready to plant when warm enough temperatures come along. With clumps there is no way to enclose the entire thing in Saran Wrap and people have had mixed results. It mostly depends on the condition of the tuber at the time it gets wrapped.
I do put a thermometer at the top of the bag but it's all covered with scatter rugs and a tarp. I check now and then, not on a regular basis.

Nothing was moved!!
Someone posted a question a while back, ' can we have a dahlia forum?' and there was a good enough response that today Dave said yes and created the Forum. All these post are from today, lots of excitement here!!
Sounds good.
