Temp dropped to 29 early yesterday evening, then rose to 37 by midnight before dropping to our low of 28. Nice hard freeze as temp stayed below freezing for a good solid 6 hours. I really hate living so close to the water this time of the year.
Temps fluctuated last night. Dropped to 30 by 1:30 am. Then rose to 35 by 4:00 am before dropping again to 28 by 6:00 am. Got above freezing by 8:00 am. Light frost due to temp fluctuation but our first frost and temp in the 20's. Not sure if that would considered a hard freeze or not.
Picked up .12" yesterday morning. Another .12" this morning and then had a surprise thunderstorm this evening drop .39". This puts me at 1.44" for the month.
Last year the cold didn't come until the end of the month. I had my 1st frost and freeze on the 30th. Had a light freeze the other morning but still waiting on my 1st hard freeze.
I saw Josh's post on Facebook. He got into the inner eyewall of Melissa with a lowest pressure of 927 mb. He has a detailed analysis of it if you wish to read it. The storm slacked just enough to claim he hit the edge of the eye.
Colors are really starting to pop out here except for the Bradford Pears which usually come later anyway but the colors are much earlier than last year.
The jog to the west right before landfall caused him to miss the eye. Looking forward to his analysis when he gets back from the Philippines. I was hoping another chaser nailed the eye.
Looking at mid 30's for us next week. Could be our first frost and freeze if it runs colder. That is early for us. Usually doesn't get that cold until 3rd or 4th week of November.
