I had to this past summer when there was a software issue . It’s always been dead nuts accurate . In icing events for example with zr involved. It’s simply an extreme example of a microclimate. Almost same elevation as ORH and typically very similar temperatures especially on fake radiating nights. I mean there has not been any frost this fall. Not on cars or rooftops
That Tolland municipal site is literally 2 minutes away down the hill on Tolland Green. My first house was there in town . It’s 650’ and sis between my hill and Bald Hill which is closer to 1100’ . They were 27 this morning while I was sitting at 38
I’m perfectly fine with growing the garden , keeping lawn green , not using much heat in the warm autumns moving into warm winter. If you can prepare your own mindset for a mild , wet winter it helps with getting angry or stressed when it’s raining in DJF. At least for me
But seasons are seasons . Of course it’ll cool off in fall and heat up in summer . I’ve just never been able to understand the frost excitedness and wildness and people trying to make me feel badly for missing out
What good is 29 at night and 60 during the day ? I’ve never understood the wildness about frosts in the fall . Kills gardens , makes folks use heat/ burn oil and by noon the windows are down in the truck
Change to what though ? Does it feel like a storm final to a deep, great winter.. or just a function of shorter daylight and no dews leading to fake cold?
People get so excited about fake frosty cold nights . Like it’s a badge of honor . I mean 98% of posters here would take colder daytime highs and elevation snow in marginal events over a fake 29 degree morning in Roctober . It’s such an odd phenomenon these guys get into
