LithiaWx Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Went up to Talking Rock this evening. When I left Talking Rock about an hour and a half ago it was 46 degrees I came back to Marietta and now the the temp is 53 degrees. An elevation difference of only 150 feet but being up in the foothills of the north Georgia mountains really dropped the temperature. Talking Rock is in Gilmer County about an hour north up I-575 from here. Really interesting that the temp can be so different in a 50-60 mil difference and only a 150 feet in elevation.....

I suspect the difference had more to do with being 50-60 miles further north than the 150 foot gain in elevation. I wouldn't think that a 7-degree difference over that distance would be all that rare of an occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think that a 7-degree difference over that distance would be all that rare of an occasion. I think distance north and being out in the country were the two main factors followed lastly by elevation. Marietta is a heat island..... But yeah I think you are correct 150 feet is not going to make a big difference if any... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Already down to 48 as of the midnight temperature. Time to get the heat going. It's going to be a chilly night around here. Sort of gets me into the Halloween spirit haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 45/43 at midnight with 43 being the forecasted low so looks pretty much on track.....might squeeze out a 41-42 tonight not bad for Oct 1, first frost around here is usually mid to late Oct with the first freeze in early Nov.

NEGa Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 50.9 here. Wonder if you'll be in the cat bird seat again this winter. Got a feeling this might be a winter for cads, sleet, ice. Which would fit you well T i sure hope so not sure if i really hit the 30s or not. had a reading of 39.8 lol so i guess that technically counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Way too much mixing of the air last night for 30's east of the mountains...that's always a factor in early fall cool snaps. I was over in Sullivan County TN overnight, never got down below 46 where I was, actually got misty late evening into the early morning hours. I did noticed snow over toward Roan Mountain on the way back this morning, it was 37 in Newland at 10:30 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoWeatherman Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Bet we will see more widespread 30s tonight across north GA. I barely missed it last night and winds should be less tonight. GFS mos actually shows 34 for Peachtree city tonight south of atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonGA Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We hit 40.7 last night. Maybe 30s tonight? I spent the weekend in Mccaysville and it was pretty darn cold. the trout would hardly bite due to the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent the weekend in Mccaysville and it was pretty darn cold. the trout would hardly bite due to the front. I just had an image flash through my head of a trout in front of a blue screen pointing to the cold front approaching the stream. I think I need help.

AcworthWx Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We hit 40.7 last night. Maybe 30s tonight? I spent the weekend in Mccaysville and it was pretty darn cold. the trout would hardly bite due to the front. I see we were in the same place. I was counting trout in a raft (I only saw one). It was a bit brisk up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 You are right Acworth. I was wading the Toccoa at Horshoe park and got some serious windburn. I was the only one with the gonads to get out in the river while they all huddled on the bank. I also found about a miilion perfectly rip persimmons so that made up for only catching two trout.

chapelhillwx Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 It's down to 44.9 at the high school about 5miles from my house, but both the airport and the high school a half mile from my house report 49 or so. Mebane is at 43.4. Is there something weird going on here? It definitely doesn't feel like 49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 49.4 as of 1:30. Might make the upper 30's by morning. I like seeing 40's the next few nights per FFC. Hope that works out. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Yokel Wx Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Down to 30.1 with a slight decline still occurring. First time we have been below freezing in the valley since late April.

MotoWeatherman Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 A brisk 33 here, absolutely gorgeous weekend! Nice. 37.1 here in Dahlonega on the other side of the chain. Looks like some places even in central GA made it to the 30's as I see a 39 ob near Macon and just south of Columbus. Also many places outside the mountains in the Carolinas made it to their first 30's of the season. As did Alabama also. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
