Officially at the airport station in town, 37F. Dew point got down to 28F at times, hovered around freezing for a few hours.
On the table on our back deck, where the sending unit is sitting about 4' off ground level and close to the house: 38F
Here's the kicker though. I went out to feed the chickens, noticed one of the waterers was empty and as it's supposed to go to 90F today figured I better fill it for the day. Went and turned on the hose that goes to the compost piles, which has a shut off valve on the end. Get the waterer, go over to the hose, turn the shut off, just a little stream of water coming out? Waited to see if the hose cleared any air that might have gotten in it. Nope, no hissing of air, just a tine spritzer of water. Let it run for a few minutes and it started slowly increasing in flow.
Damn hose had ice in it, on Aug 11. It runs across the lowest, therefor coldest, spot in the yard, where cold air coming off the ridge behind us settles.
I checked that garden beds, a foot and a half higher in elevation than the low spot, and even the tomatoes and peppers looked OK. The hoops are up over the bed with those in it, I've got more hoops in the shed to go over that tater bed, and the greenhouse plastic will be going up this evening.
Frozen hose before mid August. That's only about 2 months since our last frost.
Any of you folks up north get cold this morning?

59° this morning, which is about average this time of year here. We may tickle the upper 40s tomorrow morning, which would be the first time since May.

65 this morning at daybreak.
I could go for a few high mountain mornings.
It's only an hour or two away but, alas my nuts need shaking.

Snow cover on the highway about 120 miles north of us early this week. 39 yesterday morning. Fall is here. Ferns dying. Leaves turning a bit and falling. Fall smells. Termination dust. when not raining rivers are low and glaciers have stopped melting. Geese and cranes moving south already.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Any of you folks up north get cold this morning? WTF do you live under Mt Rainier ?? Where is all this cold air from? It's the Intermountain "Out West" dude. Lakeview OR, an hour or so up the road got down to 34F officially. Beautiful cloudless sky last night, big ol' moon. Nothing to keep any heat in. The ridge behind out place is 5700'+ in elevation. Lakeview is at the base of the Warner Mountains, which up there near the town are over 6000'. Cold air settles off these ridges and hills and we get cold here. Remember that pic I sent you a couple of weeks ago, the blue barrel which the wind had blown into our seasonal creek? I can walk down in that creek in the evening and feel the cold air draining off the hills. I'm guessing, if they get the forecast right today, we'll have a 55 degree swing from this morning's low to the afternoon high. Not unusual this time of year, other than that ice in the hose!

Remind me in a few months that I was bitching about the heat. 74F inside before starting the swamp cooler. 73 now.
