Grass is still green but not growing. I did my last cut for the season on Monday and it was more for snow prep, I like it a little shorter for winter, than actually growth which wasn't much the last ten days.
First hard freeze of the season this morning for me, 28.4 so barely but still official.
First frost October 7, first freeze October 17 and hard freeze October 25, all pretty well spread out this season, at least for me.
33.8 at 11:00 pm
Only two questions remaining, do we record the first freeze on the 17th or the 18th?Will we record a hard freeze on the 18th?
If the midnight temperature is 32.4 does that qualify as the first freeze?
I don't think we make 28 by sunrise my guess is 29 for the morning low
First freeze tomorrow night might also be a hard freeze. I'd have to look back in my records but I believe we have had a couple of those the last several years.
I was at 2.00 inches at 7am since yesterday. Lawn is actually green again all around. Nice to see in July for a change. Now if I could only keep it green through August.
