 Topic: frost
Posted: 13 Oct 2019 at 7:54am |
We had our first frost here in central Ohio this morning: 27 degrees when I got up and was our over night low. Perfectly clear sky though and no wind. I know, not much to talk about compared to you fellows up north. Any reports from up in the snow country? How much do you have?

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

We probably won't get frost until some time in November. At least we're getting just a little bit if rain today.

It has been trying to freeze here for 2 weeks. A few burned grape leaves on the outside of the canopy in the lowest coldest areas. I had frost on the roof but the tomatoes and peper plants are still going strong,only reading 34 under the porch roof.

We had our 1st one 2 days ago. Grandson had this giant pumpkin vine in the sweet corn patch. It literally took over a 60 x 30' patch. The vine was laying flat on the ground this morning. Big supprize. There is a huge pumpkin out there we had no idea it was there. Looks like its time to put the snow tires back on the 2x4 pickup and get a new set of snow tires for her Caravan and Grandsons ferd. And put the blade on the old 3/4 ton. Dang I hate winter snow.

Got exactly the same as Ray here. Dang, I cannot believe those late tomatoes here.
I have given a ton of them away, well maybe a little sort of a ton.

Dang that's cold for where you are at Ray. You need to let Alex the Occasional (clap, clap) Cortex know that her Green New Deal is already having way to much effect.

That's why I have to report to the great heartland.  We grow enough Fruits and Nuts to supply the whole country but the east coast salt air cannot help but compete with the west coast salt air nut jobs. I have this theory that it must be salt air that makes normal people become wack jobs. Seems to hold true on both east and west coast.
I can take you less than a mile from my door and with a little Shameless behavior sample some citrus fruit.But every year that there are records for we can find a day the temp has been down to the low 20's and most into the teens a time or 2. Mostly you think mountains and cold but here it is warmer on top the coastal mountains. Warm air rises so valleys are colder as cold air sinks. But if I go to the west get within a mile or 2 of the big salt water you are on the north edge of the avocado and citrus growing region. Of course there exceptions to everything,and in the good old days them nasty farmers would burn tires and all manor of stuff like drain oil to warm the little patches of warm liking trees.

After a couple of days of farting around with some tint on the fringes and spotty, it got down to 29-30 this morning and frosted hard. At least my corn will be dry enough to go through the chopper spout now.

Locally our "first" frost was - sometime in late September, not sure the exact date. In some parts of the Adirondacks first frost is typically in mid- to late-August.
The earliest first snow (precipitation, there was no accumulation) I ever recorded here was September 13th, back in the early 70s.

I need more than 200 characters for my "signature." I'd love to see that changed to 250!

kind of people
But we are number 1 in almonds & walnuts and do all right in apricots, cherries,peaches,plums,pears,apples,oranges,lemons,and avocados. Plus all the fresh vegetables in winter when someone is covering you with "pretty".
