Geno, I hope we don't get your frosty weather for at least another 40-50 days!
Corn needs time to grow but any time in September is fair game for a freeze.
Seems like you/me get an early hard frost and then it doesn't freeze again for another month.....
Next 3 days forecast repeated.
Low: 61 °F
Friday
Friday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 99. Light and variable wind becoming north northwest 8 to 13 mph in the morning.
Hot
High: 99 °F

Woke up to take a leak at about 6am and heard rain hitting the tin roof of our Lake Chelan house and thunder rolling through. After 30 minutes it let up and then it sounded like the evacuation of Saigon with all the helicopters flying low over the orchards in order to blow the rain off the still ripening fruit. I went back to bed and slept like a baby. 😁
When I did go outside it was 93* and muggy as hell. Back home on the island now and it’s about 75* currently.

Heck Sam, we're only about 4400' elev and it was a total surprise it even got down to 37. I think the NWS was calling for a low of only 42 or so, and as was said on the home weather station thread they are usually pretty close.
Nothing near that low forecast for the next week or so, and we're going back up to 95 again. Bad thing about that, the electrical Co-op will be doing some work out here Tuesday and shutting us down from 0830-1330. And it will be hard to cool the place down that morning as it's only supposed to go down to 54F overnight.
Might have to break out a non-Yeti ice chest for some of the stuff in the fridge. The chest freezer should be OK, it's stuffed with frozen stuff and has some moving blankets on it.
Good luck with your corn. And yep, first frost last year here was in early Sept.

Not in August.
Maybe we hit -25F this coming winter, as we did in 2017, but not in Aug.

We just had a pretty healthy thunderstorm blow through. In and out in 20 minutes. It left a decent sunset.

Cool looking yard you have there Ed. Any birds using those houses? We had a decent sunset here tonight too. In the foreground is the seasonal creek the cold air flows down from the hills:

Some sort of swallow in the distant one and bats in the closer one. The Selkirks are in the distance, the Cabinets behind me. We have had twelve acres here since 2005 and look forward arriving every year.

Yeah, I've been up that way a time or two in my life. Beautiful area.
Glad you've got the bats and swallows, helps keep the skeeters down.
