Ground Temperature

So I've been modeling some geothermal systems. Trace 700 will now spit out some Geothermal Plant Summaries that have .GT1 file data in them, but I've noticed the ground temperature is like 49degF, which is true for up around Ft Drum, NY but not the case for Ft Lee, VA. Ft Lee undsturbed ground temp is like 60-63degF. According to Trace700 IGSHPA calc's the GeoEwt based on weather location (none come through with .TMY, Custom takes from the monthly temp profile from a temp schedule, or Vert Bore which you can upload GHLEPro file data back into Trace.

So how can I set the ground temp to 60degF
