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

 

[RootDKJ]

Must resist turning heat on...

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

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

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)

 

[Glenn]

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:

 

[ski_resort_observer]

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]

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.
