First Frost of the Season

  They've been predicting a "frost and freeze Sunday morning" and they hit it on the head. My Tempest shows a low of 30.7° and when I took my morning walk and delivered Millie's newspaper, the ground was patchy white in spots.

 At least it wasn't windy so the walk in the lane was pleasant. The sun rose at 7:50 am but I didn't see it that early. I was starting back out the lane before 8 am and it was still fairly dark.

 By the way, our average date of first frost is 10/09 so we're over a week late. This is my 53rd year of keeping frost records.

 Here's what I saw this morning ...

 Crinkled leaves along our driveway as I started my walk. There's frost on the edges.

 At the SE edge of our property, the frost lightly coated the ground white.

 Heading back the lane, and in the open areas, the weeds and grasses beside my path were white.

 Millie's yard was the whitest spot I saw. This shot was taken at 7:56 am and the sun was set to rise six minutes earlier. So where is it?

 I'm back, showered and warmed up. Time to drive to Eric's and help his move.
