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.

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.
 
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.
