40° here. Hoping to get the first frost of the season tonight, but we’ll see.

33.5. More light frost. Ready for the first freeze. Maybe in about 7-10 days.

Insane. Stalled at 42 and never went further.

Has to be the lake or did the breeze keep going?

Calm conditions all night and clear skies so I do believe it was the lake. Gonna throw some ice in the water this afternoon and see if we can speed things up. 
 

Honestly, I love these microclimates. My old house was at the lowest elevation in probably a square mile and just off a creek. I’d consistently be 7° below the airport reading. New place is the exact opposite. It was almost Dec before the lake lost influence last year.

I don't have a weather station, just an indoor/outdoor set up.  So I usually eyeball some local weather stations on Weather Underground when I am really curious on temps.  This morning north of 40 in Iredell ranged from 33 to 38.  I showed 38 too at home.  The 33 station is very close by - looks like it is down in a valley where the S Yadkin cuts through.  The point being location is huge difference maker on nights like last night as others were saying.  The variance is pretty wild to us weather nerds I guess.

Lots of scattered frost this week, but looks like November again this year before we get a killing frost/freeze.

If the clouds stay away, I bet tonight is colder for most of us.

Traditionally, I live in one of the coldest areas in McDowell during ideal radiational cooling night. I'm close to the Catawba river and sheltered by mountains to my south.

Only down to low 40’s last night.
