Freeze Watch Issued

[Coach B]

I guess I can buy them reusing the Freeze Warning if there are that many areas that have not received a killing freeze.  However, it does seem kind of silly this late in the year.  BTW, I'm nowhere close to the Plateau and my nearest coop reporting station has been at or below freezing FIVE times already. 

It was the Frost Advisory from the other day that had me scratching my head.  I've lost count of the number of frosts we've already had.

Looks like the last Freeze Watches/Warnings for the area.

I imagine I'll be close to 29 or 30 tomorrow morning here in West Bellevue. My new location is incredible for radiational cooling sitting in a low valley completely outside the BNA UHI. Many locations to the north and east of Nashville will be in the mid to upper 20s I think.

Did you move?

[Clay]

Did you move?

Temporarily. I go back and forth between Oak Hill and Bellevue. I'm eventually probably going to Cookeville as I am pursuing a Computer Engineering major at Tennessee Tech.

I'm at the Riverwalk subdivision off Newsom Station Rd.

[Nashville_wx]

Welcome to Bellevue On that note our reading is coming in @ 45F and falling quick.

Welcome to Bellevue On that note our reading is coming in @ 45F and falling quick.

I love it out here. Other than the commute, everything you need is close by. The Home Depot, Publix, and Staples are right along in the same block which is nice.

Down to 40.3º here.

[Clay]

Down to 36.8 at 8:59PM. 

[Clay]

Low: 29.8

[Mathman]

We reached 28.2F at 5:15 AM.  That is the coldest for us so far this season.   

[Coach B]

Another good inversion morning.  My low on the hill was only 34.8 when I left, however, the UT Dairy Exp Station just over the hill had 28.

[Thundersnow]

I need to replace the batteries in my outdoor sensor, so I don't know what my low was.

But, it was cold and frosty.  I think this was the first morning I noticed frost on my actual windshield when I left for work, though it was melted enough for the windshield wipers to sweep off.  Haven't had to break out the ice scraper just yet.

[Nashville_wx]

Yup I went out to the car about 6:30AM this morning. Last night was def the coldest thus far.

[Coach B]

You think they've noticed all the head scratching:

I thought we were done with these? Maybe the stretch of warmer temps prompted them to remind people it is close to winter.
