Weather Update

First light frost:  2010 October 09
First hard frost:  2010 October 09
First snowfall: ????
First snow accumulation: ????

We had a killing frost on the morning of 2010 October 09.  It wiped out the tomatoes and beans and much of the yard was white.  Since our "average" first killing frost is October 10, this was pretty normal.  We had sleet on the morning of October 06.  This was the earliest I have ever seen frozen precipitation (excluding hail) anywhere, much less New York.

Weather Update

Through A.D. 2010 October 02:

Days at or above 30º Celsius (86º Fahrenheit): 31

I'm sure this will be the final summer weather update of the season.  Our last day at or above 86º F. was 2010 September 24.  We still haven't had any frost.  We reached 37 one night before the temperature warmed toward morning.
