Pattern Octorchber

I need to check my sensor on my outdoor digital thermometer. It was showing 32 degrees this morning at sunrise. The mercury thermometer under my carport was showing 41 degrees which is much closer to reality. It got cold overnight but it wasn't freezing cold. A mercury thermometer is a good back up plan for people who rely on digital weather stations.

I think you have it backwards. The thermometer in your carport is showing artificially high due to the heat released from the house and (likely) concrete of the carport, as well as the carport blocking or reflecting heat that would have been radiating into space. There's also the effect at night that can cool the lower six feet of the atmosphere such that the indicated air temperature of a sensor at the nominal 6' height shows 38 F, but there is frost at the ground level.

I’ve got the infrared heater running in the bedroom tonight. I thought this day would never come
