frost???

Well, it's 6:26 and here I am still wide awake.

The temperature is between 33 and 34 degrees on the porches where my figs are.
The temperature has been steadily dropping all night.
I have a huge pile of blankets and sheets by the door.
Hopefully the sun will come up soon and I'll have lucked out and not had the frost the weather folks were threatening me with.

What a crappy spring for figs. Wet and cold and windy day after day.
My lawn's about a foot tall. I feel like I'm living in the middle of a hay field.
A wet hayfield. 
Maybe it'll stop raining long enough for the grass to dry out enough so it can be cut.
But I feel lucky. For some unknown reason my figs haven't yet drown.

The weather channel says it's dropped another degree.
Fortunately the sun is rising, the birds are singing and I'm confident the temperature will start to climb with the arrival of the sun. 

Now I just need that 6th cup of coffee . . .

33.4 degr in North Royalton,OH at 7 am,may 13th....

39 at my place this morning at 530, tonight is expected to hit freezing, I have blankets on mine

Marius, Close, very close.
Jack, you've got that extra DC heat. I sure hope we don't have an even colder night tomorrow.

The rat race yeilds heat!

37 degrees here. I covered with tarps last night. I will soo go uncover. I don't see frost here, just dew.

Bill. Middle TN

Light frost on part of roofs , car windows, and grass i observed when out with the dogs this morning.

36 degrees way down here in the deep south of West Central Georgia. NO frost here but up in North Ga different story.

No frost observed here on the shore of Lake Michigan, an hour north of Milwaukee. Looks like our low for the night was 36*

I'm feeling relieved!!

tonight it will go down to 36-38.. will see what happens to my trees tomorrow.

Got down to 40 in West KY. We had frost warnings but I think we dodged the freeze. Potted figs covered anyway.

It's supposed to be dropping to 37 here in NJ tonight, should I bring my potted plants indoors?

There was frost here in Western Pa. All of my potted figs were inside and inground trees were covered. My Peach/Apple/Pear/Cherry trees weren't so lucky.

low of 36 at my house, low of 28 5 mins east and 26 20 mins west, hope that it doesn't freeze tonight.

28 tonight up here in zone 5. The fig shuffle is done for today. All inside barn and house

Bring them in if you can Paul, better safe than sorry.

Supposed to drop to 39 here tonight in Maryland.  It's not deadly for figs, but not ideal either.

72 this morning in central Florida.....come on down...the pool water is just about right....82....

Well, early Tuesday AM (3:48) and the temp is 34.
Has been dropping steadily and there are zero clouds to help hold in the warmth.
My pile of blankets is ready at the door.
If the temp drops another degree I'll go out and water everything as that should buy me an hour - maybe more. At least that's the theory.
WHERE'S THE SUN WHEN YOU NEED IT?

I hour later and still 34 degrees. 
Sunrise is just over an hour away.
Just a little luck and . . . 

Light frost on large lawns and fields here where the radiational cooling was greater, missed any significant damage ( I think)

  Well, there was a frost on my lower lawn but the figs made it due to the warmth coming from the house. Was 31 degrees on my porch.
Close call --- now bring on the warmth!!!

Coming your way Michael its going to be 85 today here, this week i may have to give first watering with the Mg mixed in and some lime as its going to be warm finally.

temp stayed up at 40 this morning. all the 1 gal came through without any issue. with lime issue, frost would have made my day.
