Geos Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Hard freeze here as well. Low of 28°. 85-90% of the trees bare here, except for the Oaks that hang onto their leaves. Seen a few bees earlier in the month when it was warmer, but not now. No real insects noticeable this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Frost began forming before bedtime last night, so of course this morning we had our heaviest frost of the season. However, we had a south wind overnight so we only got down to perhaps 32. We still have not had more than a light freeze. I still have a couple tender plants blooming, easily the latest ever. It appears next Saturday morning may be the first widespread hard freeze across Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Possibility of some flakes in the AFD for Friday morning... Very pleasant drives to and from the farm...as mentioned earlier, the only that sticks out now like a sore thumb is the lush green grass everywhere.

TugHillMatt Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Being close to Lake Michigan moderates our temps, so we didn't get a hard freeze this fall until MAYBE last night. (28/29 degrees for the low, so it was close) I would say 75 percent of the mums were still blooming nicely to this weekend. The other 25 percent got zapped during our LAST frost in mid-October.

Geos Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I have some marigolds still going, but they're right near my pond that is about 50°. High of 52° today. No clouds at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Noticed Victor Gensini mentioning the AAM dropping into more of a Nina phase over the coming weeks on Twitter today and it's implications regarding a potential storm around the 21st. This appeared to be supported somewhat by recent EPS guidance. https://twitter.com/gensiniwx/status/663387400467558400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Down to 29. Looks like another hard freeze tonight. This will be the 4th one IIRC. Coldest temp so far this season has been 23 back on Oct 17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a few things bloomed too. So far the frosts have been light. Right now my thermometer is at 29.5F, so we'll see if that hurts anything. Still not a lot of frost anyway.

You are doing better than me. 31.9°F is the coldest I have recorded so far this fall. I am on top of a hill so that helps keep me a little warmer also.

Geos Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Actually hit 27° at UGN. Had to really scrape the car windows today. It did warm up fast though. More winter storm watch and warnings and WWA for the mountains of the West. That is great news/headlines for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I didn't throw my windows away, just scraped them. lol Getting a nice little rain here with that compact impulse moving almost due north. Should get a couple of tenths out of it.

Lol, I just realize that typo! Don't usually use the word much so that's why it took someone to point it out. 53° today for a high, which is only 1° above normal. Just now seeing some clouds in the sky. Another frost tonight for sure. Awesome leave picture Snow Freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Seeing Reno, NV getting 4" of snow in one hour tonight has me wanting to see some flakes flying. Had to scrape the car windows this morning, so it's a start. Mild and showery now, all in all a pleasant day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 A year ago today was the beginning of the best snowstorm I have ever witnessed. Nov 10-12 I received a total of 40", with a jackpot south of me and just north of Ishpeming of 42". A different fall this year with only a couple inches so far and nearly a foot below normal already. A couple pics from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
