I really wasn't expecting snow in NJ tonight!  I guess I wasn't paying attention to the forecast.
It sure looks nice on this almost-ready-to-eat late-season Brown Turkey, though.
 
These are some Unk Greens that I've been waiting to overripen before gobbling down.

Very pretty.  Great quality pics too!

My daughter is experiencing her first snow ever....

oh, SAD pictures

Hi,
Still no real frost here .
We usually get the firsts before the end of October ...

I've been lucky so far -- we've had frost in other parts of NJ a few times, but not quite yet in my area.  We've been skirting around the 33/34 degrees F level a couple of times.
We're expecting more of a hard freeze early next week, so I guess I'll be prepping my storage area over the weekend.  I brought a handful of trees with nearly-ripe figs in overnight.  All the other ones got snowed on.

Frank, the pictures were taken with a run-of-the-mill Olympus digital camera that is a few years old.  Nothing special.  It does have Macro and SuperMacro settings, though.  I use the Macro mode for relative closeups such as this.  I use the fixed-zoom SuperMacro when I'm taking closeups of juicy figs.

We had -14F two nights ago, I'll trade that for a wee dusting of wet snow.

I'm sure that probably killed the blackberry canes that I didn't get laid down and covered. Oh well, all the less berries for the SWD to eat.

Calvin,
  I feel your pain, man.  I've got nothing to complain about!
...Truth be told, I really just wanted to post a picture of that "Snow on Brown Turkey" photo.  I was only slightly irked by the snow, but the beauty of the scene really caught my eye.
Jim

It was so cold, I had to seriously consider wearing long pants and a jacket.

Tonight they say it will be 28F in Fair Lawn and tomorrow it will be 30. Next week the low will be 24f so the Fig Farm is going into hibernation for the winter Sunday.
Most of the leaves have yellowed and maybe 30% have fallen off as of tonight.

No snow in my part of Georgia. Hooray for Southern living! :-)

It is possible that Calvin meant +14F (-10C ) because it is too early to reach as low as -14F (-25C).
Just my opinion from Zone 5.

I brought a bunch in tonight, but I ran out of time. Tomorrow am I'll bring in the rest

Hey brothers and sisters . All my potted trees safely in the garage and although there s no snow in GA it is still going to drop to the 20s here in Loganville. my innground are in for the first shock of the year. hang in there guys! Hey Joe, we re only like a half hour away. I hope we can do some trading in the future!
  My trees are VdB and Peters honey from BF , Southern BTurkey, Celest, Brunswick, Black Mission, Chicago Hardy, UK Green and UK black from Charleston SC and LSU Purple.

Jim, I apologize, I didn't mean to take away from the great pics. I'm probably just shell shocked and wishing that's what we would have got.

Ottawan, nope no mistake. We had an arctic blast that came straight down from the north across Saskatchewan, Montana, Wyoming, and then us. It was -9 at 2AM when I decided to move all my trees and plants that still have leaves from the sun room to the house, the weather man said it got down to -14F at 4AM. We were having one of the best mellow falls, until 3 days ago. We have had plenty of night time freezes but that was it. I don't think I'll be getting my garlic in the ground either. I always get it in a little late, but we have never had frozen ground before Thanksgiving. I'm lucky I got my garden cleared and tilled on Sunday.

Last nights temps froze my 5 gallon's soil and now I can knock the leaves off the trees just by touching them.
Today I need to rearrange the garage.

My pots were a little frozen too, They are all in the garage now. I thought I cut back on a lot of trees, but my garage looks as full as ever. Not good when I need to move these somewhere else in two months....

Calvin -- no worries, man!

Rich , Marcus -- I didn't think our temps were supposed to get so low last night, but I had ice in some water dishes and the top 1/2" of soil was frozen in some of my smaller pots!
Jim

Extra cold surprised the weatherfolks here too in zone 6b West Virginia as temps plunged nearly 10 degrees colder than expected, into the teens, and more soon to come.
Records they are a breaking. The report below records the -14F in Denver on Thursday, and far colder nearby, -27F in Casper Wyoming, -21F in Livingston Montana.
Only the latter temp did not break a record:

Ground or garage protection required for figs, it seems.

My final two trees made it into the garage tonight at the last minute. Heavy rain coming tomorrow and temps dropping to 19 here in Northern in New Jersey on Tuesday night. Needed to move them before they became soaked and heavy. Ready for the winter. I'll trim the last two a bit and save the branches to root them late winter in time for the Spring sun.

Rich...winter is a coming fast. Brought my hibiscus in two weeks ago and a little avocado that sprouted in the compost pile over the summer. This guy is an experiment. Remember growing them as kids. Sticking toothpicks into the pit to dangle the fat part of the pit into a glass with water to sprout the pit. I've got a nice big set of large windows facing the south so it will get a fair amount of sun.

24 degrees F in Albuquerque tonight. Shed, filled with small potted figs cozy with small space heater.
