Ha! I hope not. My gauge always is the first frost, and that was last night here in Litchfield County. Summer colors are applied in the spring when the high temp reaches 70 degrees... 8)

not sure if Springfield actually got a frost, but it was close...yeah, I remember last year you changed the color around the first frost...


what worries me is that last year after K blew snow, it stayed chilly and then they opened at the end of october..but this year, the cold might not have the early season staying power that it did last year...lots of cold air in canada though, just need it to stick around....time will tell.

The frost here in Ohio was so heavy it was coming up as snow on the raders.

yeah, as a former meteorology major, that isnt possible....frost wouldnt show up on radar. Maybe it was lake effect.

getting closer......

.LONG RANGE...TUE THROUGH SUN
COLD ADVECTION TO TAKE PLACE THURSDAY IN WAKE OF SURFACE LOW AND A BROAD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE PROGGED TO BUILD EAST OF MISSISSIPPI
RIVER.
SAT/SUN SYSTEM MAY BE JUST AS ENTERTAINING AS SYS DROPS INTO THE
MEAN AND LOOKS TO GO NEGATIVE AS IT LIFTS NE. OPERATIONAL RUN OF
GFS IS SUGGESTING SFC REDEVELOPMENT ALONG SNE COAST LINE AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT - THICKNESS THAT SUPPORT A TOUCH OF SNOW OVER THE INTERIOR DURING A PORTION OF THE EVENT. OPERATIONAL RUN DOES LIE AMONGST THE COLDER AND MORE AMPLIFIED SOLUTIONS AT THIS TIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY - LOTS OF MODIFICATION TO THIS IMPLUSE IS POSSIBLE. IT IS MID OCTOBER AND WILL BE CONSERVATIVE IN THE APPROACH FOR THE DAY 6-7 PERIOD - BUT THE SIGNALS ARE CERTAINLY THERE - THAT WE ARE IN FOR A VERY ACTIVE WX PATTERN FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 10 DAYS.
