  1. Threw the season so they could view leaves this year?
  2. 28.8° min. Back is a bit better so I got some frost pics. Standing water froze quite a bit too.
  3. 28.8° Very frosty this morning. Looks like our resident fawn prefers the unfrozen portion of the yard under the pear trees.
  4. 29.4° Nice freeze already. Looks foggy on cam too. Maybe some sunrise rime?
  5. lol Was looking for the Maple Hollow temp and saw this
  6. Cally time for both of you. Assuming the gauge is level, give each screw on both sides underneath the tipper a 1/4 turn counter clockwise. Scoot may want to go aggressive initially and go with a 1/2 turn or F it and give it a full turn. Just try to do the same for each side the best you can. Then wait for a bigger synoptic event to compare again...something like 0.25-0.50 or more.
  7. Min 31.6° with frost, but the anny is lightly whirling and tree tops whistling in the breeze.
  8. Mitch just chopped his computer with an axe.
  9. Someone needs to black out BUF from those charts...pretty much useless for our purposes.
  10. Noticed there's 2 non-commissioned AWOS sites out there that are probably dear to your heart. https://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/meso_base_dyn.cgi?stn=0ME1&time=GMT https://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/meso_base_dyn.cgi?stn=FTK9&time=GMT
  11. Thanks for the back wishes. Hope everyone else stays strong and healthy too. Old begets old. Anyway, 49.4F right now with SCT skies and gusts to near 30kt at the ASOS. Seriously, wtf.
  12. It can be tricky. I've seen HIE/BML start a night at like 40/40, clear out, and stay calm. Then they procede to fall to something like 25/25 before finally succumbing to freezing fog. Lower els can tap into colder dews that drain down into the valleys as hill/mtn surfaces radiate. If I see MWN running very dry in the evening despite a near saturated start at those sites I always figure they'll radiate like mad anyway. It seems to be difficult to "fog out" once you get into the mid 20s too unless you're near a body of water or have laying water handing around. I mean, how often do we see fog with temps below 20F? Only the most extreme rad pits seem to do that. Diamond dust is pretty rare south of NNE too. But yeah, minus continued advection overnight, the afternoon dewpoint is a good estimate. If you're confident you're going to see radiational cooling MOS can be tough to beat too.
  13. MAV with 30/28 at CON for tonight/Sat night. My hunch is I pull a 30-32F here as well.
  14. I keep a big rock in front of the coop door overnight. This morning I picked it up to toss it on the ground and my back said "not today". It felt like someone took an axe across my back. Nice way to start a day off and 3 day weekend.
  15. The positive is that the marshes that haven't dried up tend to radiate really well. I don't think mosquitoes really die at exactly 32F anyway. As you get colder and colder they're more likely to go dormant. I think our more northern species produce glycerol in freezing temps which can help prevent their cells from freezing. It works a bit like tardigrades.
  16. 49.0F BKN and windy. Lots of leaf drop. Majorly pulled out my back this morning too. Career ending injury like Ginxy and Jay.
  17. 2 straight days of 100F at Chattanooga. btw...only a high of 48.5F here today.
