Well it’s not in the south
Definitely not when dew points are in the 40s and 50s.
Got into the 20s this morning. This is the earliest freeze I can remember in Huntsville.
I couldn’t have picked a more beautiful weekend to take off. While it’s been cool at the beach, the weekend looks amazing when we get home as well.

29 for me this am, the Pickens County airport got down to 26; not too shabby for mid Oct. I think for the upstate at least, (and maybe for many on the board) this may be the strongest October front since 2006. That one actually came through a few days earlier in the month with similar temps.

27 here this morning with a very hard freeze after a forecasted low of 31. Looked and felt like a mid winter freeze.

Well that blow torch on the models died a quick death.

Could be seeing a relapse of last winter with long range torches and ridging on the east coast that quickly turned to cold and a lot of troughs that continued to swing through the closer we got to verification.
Close to a mega frost this morning think we have a true mega frost around here tomorrow
4° colder tonight than last night at this time, upper 20s here we come

Full on warmup has begun here... It's still 44 degrees ?
Headed for upper 70s tomorrow and mid to upper 80s Friday

0z Euro and GFS look Dry Bones out through the end of their runs. This will be the trick this winter, getting moisture. I think we don't have problems getting the cold punches. Atlantic Blocking is a question with supplying staying power. But we should rollercoaster frequently up/down/up/down, especially 1st half of winter. The Northern Mtns/east TN will benefit from a lot of NW Flow Snow Nickle an dime events. The Synoptic events for all of us will be in a shorter supply.
CHA at 32 this morning for the earliest freeze since 1988 (still another hour of cooling to go so may end up at 30 or 31).
Yesterday was close at 33, which was the earliest 33 since 2000. Tuesday's 35 was the earliest 35 since 2006.

Second morning in a row of being under 30° at my house. I can’t say I remember having two back to back days this early under 30° in the morning. What a nice change for the month of October.

I am going to bring this up again, about the descrepency of difference of the "Official" temp for ATL at the d a m n airport. It was 38 at Hartsfield, one mile away a friend reported 31 on his thermometer. The "official" reading is taken in the middle of the concrete hell of runways at the airport, and it is extremely unrepresentative of the acutual temps of where people live. This has been a brutal controversy for decades.
Meh 31 all it got down to but mega frost this morning so there's that
29 again really fell off between 7 and 730

28.8, nice frost. Bye bye green golf courses.
Like two frosty spots on the ground, 36. Surprised yesterday was colder
25.3 for the low and been below freezing since 12:30. I wish I could move the Tempest to the bottom of the hill to see what it hits down there but it's too far away from the wifi.
Yeah, it's funny. I've had frost the past two mornings but never got down below freezing (close 34 yesterday and 33 today). My yard thermometers are between 6 and 8 feet above ground. I need one at ground level. Everywhere around Wake county looks to have gotten at or below freezing. Not sure if RAH will stop the frost/freeze packages for all central NC; or maybe they'll just continue it for Wake (ha ha).
I definitely need to lower mine:
"The standards for an accurate temperature measurement are pretty straight-forward. Sensor must be 5 feet above the ground (+/- 1 foot). Must be over a level terrain with an open area clearing so the thermometers are freely ventilated by air flow."

Do you live on a hill? ?
I've got mine at about 6' way out in my back yard where it's open. Got to 31. I think @SD has his at ground level. He's always in the 20s when the rest of us are in the 30s haha
Yeah, I'm on a ridge (..well a ridge for our area). My Dad lives one mile down my road and he is a 100' lower than me. He always runs 2-4 degrees lower on these clear/calm nights.
Back to back mega frost ?

Ground level is cheating . Shane is falsifying weather data for the sake of appearing colder . I’ll be camped in his yard tonight to investigate. May have a bonfire.

Here in Zebulon no mega frost yet. My car has yet to be coated in thick heavy frost . Haven’t had to scrape yet . Probably got to freezing though but not much below.

May not just be a Raleigh thing. Louisburg didn’t freeze yesterday morning and only barely hit 32 this morning . Airport area there is flat country.

A disappointing 30.9 here this morning. Not bad but was hoping for sub 30 at least.
