I’m making this thread so people who want to, can predict when their first frost, freeze, and snow will be. I just saw Frost and Freeze Warnings in NH, VT, and ME, so I thought it would be a good time to make this thread. This is just for fun, no prizes or anything like that.

We had our first accumulation this morning. Some schools in the area actually were put on a 2-hour delay due to the snow. We only got about an inch, which quickly melted off, but other areas got enough to cover the grass, and maybe an extra inch.

It got right at 32 yesterday morning (Memphis was 35) and we had the first heavy frost. On other days we’ve had with frost, it’s really only been patchy, but this time it was everywhere.
