the misadventures of weather boy

First freeze (of sorts) of the season

Out in my neck of the woods (suburban to rural in nature), temperatures reached the freeze level last night. Horace Williams airport registered a hardy 30 degrees (registering about 3 or 4 hourly observations of 31-32) as a low. Meanwhile, my two thermometers registered a 35 (western sensor) and a 31.3 (eastern sensor). Part of the difference in sensor instrumentation is due to the amount of shelter (the western one is further inside the confines of the house structure, whereas the eastern one has much less building shelter). RDU briefly flirted with 33 at 7am, but couldn't make any significant inroads though.

Current forecasts aren't showing any significant intrusions of 30's yet, but we are certainly moving on in the season.
