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?
Screw that. 62 here last night, but headed to the low 50's this weekend. The transition from summer to fall has begun.
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.
My wife likes your nuts!
Well, someone's over that way.
She eats them almonds every day.

Remind me in a few months that I was bitching about the heat.
Did you ever find the one snowblower?
No. Gave up thinking we need one. What could possibly go wrong?
Blizzards this winter for sure!
For some reason I think we're gonna get slammed with one big snowstorm for this area. Maybe it's just wishful thinking. The drought will probably last 7 more years.

I came off a workout at 6:30 and it was 74 deg and 90% humidity. It was like I had stepped out of the shower in my clothes.
Not sure where you're at, but that's one reason we didn't enjoy living back east.
I hate getting out of the shower and it being so humid you can't dry off and you don't know if it's just because the towels are always damp or you've already started sweating again.

Went out in the mountains yesterday with the family with intent to camp out. In the bestest shadiest campiest place for miles at almost 8pm it was still 82-85ish, clouded over, muggy and ugly calm. Made some dinner, sweating the whole time, then said screw it and came home to the fans!

Valsdad asks "Officially at the airport station in town, 37F." That is damn cruel to post. It was 75F here this morning, and we won't see temps below 70 until probably mid October!

Yeah, but you folks can almost grow maters year round.
I'm lucky to get a few every summer, which was frost free for 82 days last season.
I have lived where it was 120+ in the summer and rarely froze hard enough to kill peppers and tomatoes. I had a serrano pepper plant that lived over 3 seasons.
Hot in the morning? I awoke once at 0200 and it was still 113F. I don't recall it dropping below 100F that morning by sunrise.

We had an evening similar just recently.
A few drizzles, town got 0.03", but the cloud cover kept the heat in all night. Stayed warm all night, only dropped to 65F or so by daylight. Hardly cooled the house down with all the windows and the two fans going along with the window A/C in the master bdrm.
