    A Torchtober to remember. Although pretty big change early next week for a few days.

    Was 54 here.

    Yep. But my comment is more the general public looking out their window and seeing ice or not. I've heard people say "well I had no frost" but it was like 26 and windy. LOL.

    May have to reinstall today.

    I will say in my simple, male mind.....I only care about 32. Like if I see frost on the roof and it's 34 or 35...it means little to me. I always view 32 as the benchmark.

    For instance, Joe Schmoe sees frost on his car or grass. He says hey it must be 32 out!! He's probably close to being correct. If he looks at his thermo and sees it is 35 with nice signs of frost...I don't think he'll get excited about saying he had his first frost. I think there is a difference in a field that is subject to radiational cooling for sure as you said. Objects on a clear and calm night will act to be cooler than the ambient air temp.

    Yes...but I think in general people consider first frosts in their minds as 32 or lower.
  8. CoastalWx
    That's a "hard freeze."

    I know...the NWS I believe goes by Climo dates for that (Ocean St can correct me if I am wrong)...but in reality people will sort of base plants on the current wx regime.

    Maybe we should clarify 32 or lower if people are thinking that when talking frost. I think that's what most people mean. I get what you are saying. I never knew 36 was the temp when considering frosts. My personal observations are that you may get a few whites shingles on the roof at those temps. But me personally....I don't really think of it as a first frost.
  11. CoastalWx
    A frost advisory is when temps are forecasted to be 33-36 to cover the possibility of light frost, but to me...36 is not a frost.
  12. CoastalWx
    36 counts as a frost?

    I will say, I enjoy being able to toss the euro. Years ago, when the euro had something at day 5, you paid attn even when other guidance had nothing. But now, when other guidance has nothing and euro shows 2" of rain....we toss. Euro overall is a good model, but the GFS and Canadian, UKMO etc have gotten better.

    Thanks, yeah the moist process thing is real. It's had some wild PWAT solutions in TX..I think at one point I saw a 4" PWAT modeled lol.

    What's the simple cliff notes on the upgrade in terms of what changed and results?
  16. CoastalWx
    We grow.

    Ginxy said it landed in his brother's yard in Omaha.

    WoW!

    I think KBG is, but tall fescue reminds me of the crap they throw on the medians of highways because it's more drought resistant.
  20. CoastalWx
    LOL, that's a good one.
  21. CoastalWx
    Raking poop?

    Right, that's why I said "typically" and "generally." It's not always, but Nina's generally more -PNA dominated.
  24. CoastalWx
    That's pretty cool.
  25. CoastalWx
    Sell the flakes here. Still giant GOAK trough, but will cool off a bit next week. Enjoy summer this week.
