  1. The supply chain thing....how the eff did we get into the mess? I know COVID was one reason...but how did this mess happen?
  2. Mowvember. Ray is going to lose his kids in the grass. It's going to be like "Honey I shrunk the kids."
  3. Oye, I didn't even read this part. "09-10 actually ended up being a decent analog for the 2016 winter (both winters sucked up in New England, great in the mid Atlantic). "
  4. 15-16 was a furnace winter with a rogue storm. It was snowier than what we normally expect though in a strong Nino, but an extremely warm winter.
  5. And Saturday night too.....those weird weenie cells over half inch in SNE.
  6. Wonder if they broke the euro again. That stuff Friday aftn is awfully suspicious to me. I don't see a daytime heating triggering mechanism like it shows over the northeast.
  7. Yeah, I mean this is COC and suits everywhere stuff. Just well AN...but not the uber stuff.
  8. Oaks starting to turn a bit now. Other species like maples look real nice and even starting to drop.
  9. A Torchtober to remember. Although pretty big change early next week for a few days.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Yes...but I think in general people consider first frosts in their minds as 32 or lower.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
