BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Thundersnow]

My mater plants are just barely hanging on (still a few small green tomatoes on them).

This ought to put 'em out of their misery.

[servocrow]

I almost forgot about our cactus....I would've been in bad straits with the hubby if I had forgotten that!!!! :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

[Thundersnow]

40.3

I think I'll be in the 30s by 10pm!

[Thundersnow]

Drum roll please....


As of 9:14 PM CDT, my current temperature in southwestern Davidson County has reached:  39.9 degrees.

This marks my first observance of temperatures in the 30s for this Fall/Winter season.



Thank you for your attention.

[servocrow]

Wished I had a thermometer..

Official reading in our area is 30 and I live outside town...I'm sure it's colder here.

Frost on the windshield, but I can't see the frost on the yard yet.

[Thundersnow]

My current temperature is 32.5, and that is my low so far.  The sun has not come up yet, and there's still time for it to drop a little further.

[Thundersnow]

Frost on the car and frost on the rooftops here.

I think my maters are done.  Fried green tomatoes anyone?  :lol:

[servocrow]

YUMMMERS!!!

I love them...almost as much as I love BACON!!!!

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Ah...never too early to think about fried food..hee hee..

[Thundersnow]

I just touched 32.4.  But, the sun is coming up now, so I believe that will be my low.

There's a moderate frost here... even in the grass.

This should really get the Fall foliage going now.

[servocrow]

Well, the latest Shelbyville observation (and I'm not too far from the Bedford Co. line and outside Murfreesboro proper) is showing 28.  The yard looks pretty frosty!!!

Can't believe I gotta scrape that windshield!! hee hee.....

I made the boys hot chocolate this morning..and BOY did it SMELL GOOD!!

[Thundersnow]

I'm closer to the heat island of the Nashville metro area, so that probably makes a difference here.  It usually gets a few degrees colder further out.
