Taking bets

Since I plan on doing it during typical duepoint hour no one will unless they are up at 3am (as I typically am)

And unless your neighbor reads this forum.

The ditch in front of my house was rock solid this morning and my car took 15 minutes to warm up.

Reed, any thoughts on the massive amounts of frost in my yard this morning?  The most this season.  Are the moisture levels going up?

[Sportmotor]

They dont

[reednavy]

The calm winds last night allowed for frost to develop, but I don't know if someone had the sprinklers on nearby or what at your house.

My area didn't have any frost, and I'm close to the river.

[fsujax]

no frost in springfield.

Well they got quit a bit of snow in my hometown.

[Bostech]

Ugh..snow,snow,snow.

To bad it was in the mid 40's this morning.  Now you look like the nice neighbor who washed everyone's car for no reason.

Bos, From the news it looks like most of Europe is getting the same kind of awful weather as we are.  Why more snow and cold further south than is usual.  It is my understanding the the whole area west of the Adriatic has much milder winters than your pictures show even in the mountains.  Ugh, indeed!

Looking at all of that snow makes me wonder if the HSR stuff is running normally? Last time the UK got snow like that, trains were catching hell trying to make schedules..........and they didn't!

I'm in the rural area on the west side of St. Augustine.  It seems that every time frost is mentioned, even for inland areas, I always get it.  The area around me is fairly open and there are a multitude of natural wetlands surrounding me.  I understand that the black body radiation on a clear night in an open area has a lot to do with the cooler surface temperatures meeting the already low dew point.  And throw in the fact that I'm outside of the urbanized area further isolating me from more heat sources.  I guess that's why I'm so susceptible to frost. 


.... having a mechanical engineer, that turns out to be a psychrometric guru, in the next office can really help to explain things!

I consider areas between the river and the ocean, being a few miles from either, as semi-inland. They can see temps up to and sometimes more than 5 degrees lower than locations closer to the water.

Now that you mentioned the wetlands, that has a sizeable affect on your humidity levels.

Yes this year is colder in Europe too.UK got some recored breaking temps.
Snow on pics is normal,not every year but not unusual.
Snow depends on city elevation so you coudl have 2 cities apart by 50-100 miles and major difference in snow accumulation.

Well they claim tomorrow we might get some flurries.
Will see.
