da damn...my apartment is 71 degrees right now and I wonder what it will go down to by the morning..

RootDKJ · Oct 6, 2008

Must resist turning heat on...

No freeze or frost warnings for my area of Jersey tonight.

GrilledSteezeSandwich · Oct 6, 2008

It's a good thing I don't have any tender plants or vegetation..it's already into the 40s in my hood..so frost is a possibility in the early AM..

Yep. We have a freeze warning for tonight now too. I already drained and brought in the garden hoses yesterday. It's coming folks!

I took one air conditioner out of the window and covered the other last night. I also fired up the furnace for the first time. Not so thrilled about having to use the furnace, but if it means that we're closer to SNOW then I'm happy.

I was pumped to use my ice scraper this morning! 8)

Saw frost on some lawns and many roofs this morning on the way in.

nobody noticed the original posting was word-smithed to describe the possibility that the freeze would kill flatlanders...
I wonder if they had to cancel school yet????

I noticed. Lexington, MA, eh? Therefore, you too are a flatlander... :roll:

My question is exactly how is it "much better than a frost warning" other than maybe meaning we are closer to winter. Course, a calendar still works just fine for that. If it was Nov 1st I would agree with the OP as that is the time many of the resorts are planning to fire up their snowmaking.

GrilledSteezeSandwich · Oct 7, 2008

We had frost this morning...none on my car as I didn't leave for work until 7:55AM but at work in the grass there was frost and it was 40 degrees../

I'll be perfectly honest, I tend to scan over CAPS text. Especially weather stuff, as it's usually filled with terms I don't care to know.

I'm dead serious: Two schools in CT had 2 hour delays this morning due to lack of heat. So yes, flatlanders were effected! I wasn't able to check the grocery store though...to see if there was a run on bread, milk and bottled water. :spin:
