Frosty Dahlia flower in my garden Sept 30th
Photo showing White Fields just outside my yard Sept 30th
Low Temperatures Reported
Clouds held strong all day Tuesday but then clouds broke up and skies became completely clear just in time for night to approach, This help send temps dropping like a rock last night as well has a cold High Pressure over the area. I would say just about every community in our 6 county area had widespread frost last night, Most places across the area even reported temperatures below or at freezing I believe most places had their Killing Frost, and places in Washburn County even had a completely hard Freeze.
Frosty Leaf Sept 30th
My official Frost report for here in Clayton is, we had a Widespread Frost, This frost was my 1st frost of the season, but it was a hard one, Fields were completely frosted and All corn was frosted, here in my yard, Garden Plants were hit with a hard frost, and even plants close to the house, and grass under trees were was frozen or had some frost, my official low on my station was 30.F
This was a killing frost, and The Growing season has ended here at my location, which seems kinda odd for my 1st frost of the season.
Derek, great shots of your frost. I especially like the frosty leaf. I had my first frost too. My low was 33.4° … click here for a photo. The frost wasn’t as thick in my backyard as it was in yours.
Wow I do see a light frost there in your yard and the roof! Yeah we had quite a hard frost last night here, I felt the grass under the tree shaded spots and even that was frozen.
In comparison to last year, This year the first frost was much later, Last year I had my first frost Sept 8th, but this was a hard killing frost, last year my Killing frost did not happen until October 4th so just a few days early this year,
Very nice pics Derek! No frost here in West Duluth, but some parts of Duluth/Superior did see some frost early Today. And even more interesting is the fact that there’s hardly any color on the trees around the city, I’d say at best were sitting at around 10-15% color change right now.
thanks Tim yeah I really noticed our green color seems to be holding on quite well here compared to last year it seems
