We never really dropped last night. 36.7 was lowest we got all night. It’s crazy out of a system that brought sub freezing temps to Florida, snow to the coast, and single digits to mountains we managed one night below freezing 

For all the hype of this cold blast...it was never really anything but a normal cold blast for November in Raleigh. Back when I was a kid we got our first freeze here in October pretty much every year.

It was extremely cold yesterday, it’s hard to stay in the 40s with full sunshine in early November, but wind both nights wind and clouds kept us from dropping much despite the overall environment suggesting much colder temps. We failed to meet forecast lows both nights 30 (28) and 37 (32) at my house. Accumulating snow to the coast and record cold south and west of here justified the hype though. We may never see snow in some areas that received it again this early in the season, and that’s backed up by it being the earliest snow ever for some areas. Wouldn’t say it didn’t live up to hype just bc central NC didn’t get as cold as we were expected to given it overperformed south of here and the snow way over performed in mountains and in areas with those surprise bands

My best explanation is that the heart of the cold was aimed more toward your SW. Consider that GSP had 22, Macon had 25, and SAV/JAX had historic 28s! But from your area to the NE US, there was little (or no) record cold.

Our low was 34 at 4 am and the temps been rising ever since. 11 am and it's up to 53 already. Yesterday had a high of only 48 with full sunshine.

73.4 here today. Tailgating at the canes game now it’s incredible out

[yotaman]

Hit 74 here. Dew points in the low 50's made for a really nice day. No breeze did mean mosquitoes though.

Yep, growing up in High Point, I remember frigid football games in late October. Where you needed the hot chocolate and a blanket in the stands.

Forecasted low of 50, actual low of 37. They missed that one by a mile.

Low of 36 at 7:25am, High of 63 at 3:56pm

We way undercut guidance this morning. Currently sitting at 29.8, the coldest reading of the year here

Forecasted low of 36, actual 33. No idea if we had frost as I didn't get out of bed until 8.

We were also colder than advertised but only got to 32.7, seems impossible to freeze this year despite it not being that mild.  The tomatoes and peppers still carry on.
