Frost picture from Dallas,WI September 26th

A very chilly morning was experienced today, as all locations fell into the 30s and at least some type of frost was reported at all locations. Northern areas had a hard killing frost where lows fell in the upper 20s. Southern areas had a hard frost, some more sheltered locations had a more light frost. I spent the weekend in Dallas, a small community in Southeast Barron County, There they got a hard frost, yards were white and cars were completely frosted over. Most tender plants that were not covered were killed. A thermometer I stuck out had a low of 27.F, which might be a the low side, although Dallas is in a low spot in a river valley, so that may very well be correct.

Back in my yard, My station reported a low of 35.F, which was one of the warmer spots in the area. There was a light frost in the yard limits, but the fields were white. Garden plants were not harmed, including tender tropical dig-up bulbs I left uncovered. The growing season continues at my location, and across many locations in the south. Locations in Burnett and Washburn counties has ended there growing season.

The coldest temperature was a very chilly 27.F in Minong, The warmest location was Hudson, My Station-Clayton and Balsam Lake, all of which reported a low of 35.F
