Yea 95% of CT inland saw frost cept some random hill top in Tolland. 

the word at the local farmer's market is that freshly ripened tomatoes and peppers will be available from that hill through December 

[rimetree]

Bit of frost this morning with a low of 34F. Now 63/38...nice day. I'm guessing we toss the GFS now but would be nice to get that clipper-like system next week to come in a little further south and crank up something interesting.

Yo @ineedsnow I guarantee you that this would piss some people off buddy

Is it still a mistake if you correct it?

Ughhhhh I knew this was bound to happen. They’re just getting bigger and deadlier here. Adapting to our climate and just relocating from other areas.

It’s just folks love to let everybody know that it’s just the low levels that are cooler than the overall air mass. It’s a f’n stupid saying.  If we threw their naked asses out there in the fake cold ….would it still be fake?  I doubt it.  
 

It’s as Dumb a saying as a box of rocks. 

100%

[CoastalWx]

So much anger about fake cold.

Understand it perfectly. It’s a silly statement. FXWX agrees 100%.  Nothing is fake…it’s just low level. We perfectly understand.

When it’s 33 and then 70 .. that’s not cold . It’s comparable to the desert where it can go from 103 to 48 at night . Realize it

I will never agree with this nonsense. And I was 65 today..not 70.  
 

It was frosty this morning…truck was frozen everywhere.  Nothing fake about that.  I understand it completely.  I don’t like the fake cold term.  So you can realize that.   John B. agreed completely.   It’s a silly term.  
 

And nobody is arguing that the temp wasn’t going to rise, and get nice and comfortable today, that’s not the point. 

[Brewbeer]

correction:  when it's 33, that cold; when it's 70, that's not cold

Isaias is back again…can the NHC think up some different names?  I mean, I think there’s been 3 different Eduardo’s too over the years.  WTH?

It really is silly.  Couldn’t they come up with another “I” name that’s not a complete mouthful and hard to pronounce and remember?  I realize they try to incorporate Latin names but there has to be another Latin “I” name out there, right?

You'll have to keep moving north to stay ahead of them.

Still bummed about that pine grove that got blown down by the tornado in '18. That was a great picnic area.

They cycle every six years, its been that way forever. Once a name is retired it is replaced with a new one. Theyalso  got rid of the greek alphabet after 2020 and just go back to A with an alternate list of names.
