Brrrr 24F
That was the temperature this morning at our house. And that can only mean one thing…
So I wonder with the 24F this morning if tomorrow will bring a lot of leaf dropping? Time will tell, eh. 😉

Keep looking!

Thought we were going to get to the upper 20’s but cloud cover came and held the temp at 43. It is really interesting how we get the gulf air affect when it comes to clouds and humidity that doesn’t reach up to N TX and the cold fronts and rains that don’t always get south enough to reach us. TX is a BIG state.
Frostweed is complicated. I have seen years when we got nothing. I have assumed we need a first freeze before we get the frost making but I think that may be too simple of a theory. I remember in Carrollton I wouldn’t see the ice crystals until a second good freeze. But if too much time went by between them, all the sap would disappear and we got no crystals. I haven’t seen a good icing down here since I moved. Too dry? Also in Carrollton I found the plants close to our house got too much protection much of the time.
And with the trees, our cedar elms have all lost their leaves but my hackberry next to my cabin still has most of its leaves. ????
Kathy, I find the Frostweed will not frost until the temperature gets to about 24f. Even 27F will not do it. We have several of those this season already. And this is what I have observed at our house. And our Frostweed is not sheltered. Crazy about the tree leaves too.
We hit 24 a second time and it killed the uncovered lettuce this time. Frostweed didn’t go, presumably the leafy oak here protected it. Nice article about female rangers!
Maybe yours will frost when you loose the oak tree leaves? Let us know.
Very nice photo of the moon. We only got to 31° last night. I like the Neanderthal article. Tho it didn’t surprise me.
Of course they communicated. Duh.. LOL
The sun video is way cool!
But what the heck does AR stand for in the nomenclature?
Rising moon shot eerie the way it appears to be enclosed by the clouds
If you find out let us know about the AR. or maybe Suzanne’s Steve knows???
Of course I should have googled it. LOL
ACTIVE REGION (AR). A localized, transient volume of the solar atmosphere
in which PLAGEs, SUNSPOTS, FACULAe, FLAREs, etc. may be observed. https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/glossary/glossary.html
I went ahead and checked, and he didn’t know!
THere are just too many of the initialisms to keep track of. Thanks!
