For those of you that dont know, Norfolk,CT is nicknamed "The Ice Box Of Connecticut". Lol. They are typically the coldest and snowiest spot in the state.
Entire NorthWest corner is hilly and has higher elevation (1000-2000')
Check out the scenery there today. About 1.5 hours north of me.
Have they gotten rid of frost advisories? I feel like I haven't seen them much this fall.
True, I havent seen them in the southeast. Im thinking either they were scattered about OR it happened same time there was a freeze so they just issued the freeze instead?
Here's this from today. Growing season is done in SC. No more advisories.
Currently here at, Aurora, ME..37F Degrees, Dew Point 37F..Winds NNW 9mph..
Wickedly Greasy (aka slippery), this morning! Called in to work this morning - with WTH (there is no way I'm coming in)! Turned around and returned home! Had an extra cup of coffee for ALL OF US!
Squirrel was out again..Gobbling everything in sight, until it was interrupted...Gross-Beaks and their family showed-up (they always notify their family in a destinctive WHINE), Blue Jay appreciating Squirrel's digging were out in appreciation. Chickadees flitted and reminded the ENTIRE FLOCK..FOODS ON...It was amusing to say the least!
Muscles sore from packing EVERYBODY'S desire in the bakery...
It's ok...BACK at it tomorrow (until Beloved's business provides for more)!
STILL, love being here with you (STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU)!

I think we just had a freeze watch/warning with the first freezing temps of the season two weeks ago. Nothing was issued with the freezing temps we had Monday night.
Snow extent for North America & Northern Hemisphere is "up there". Most since over a decade. Since Mid September N.A snows started increasing and never looked back. Matches 2014-15 & 2010-11 at the moment. [...]
Canada: September & October had the most snow coverage on record:
North America: September was snowiest on record. October was 2nd largest coverage of snow.
Impressive. Let's keep that icebox cooling off; that's one more piece of the good winter jigsaw puzzle, enhancing any cold that's driven southward. If this snow cover pattern keeps up there may also be an increased chance of some cold weather in the spring.

As far as I know risk aversion in the industry has more to do with the geography than climate changes; citrus spread well north of I-4 in the 19th century (in a colder climate than now) before some bad winters chastened the industry. Also considering that devastating freezes overspread much of Florida just a few years ago I don't think the climate is warming fast enough to be much help to oranges.
According to web resources I've found citrus trees grow well enough as far north as zone 9, which includes most of Florida but only southern coastal Georgia (and even that only in the 2012 map, not 1990). Zone 8 though is suitable if precautions are taken and one accepts higher risk, and that covers southern Georgia, most of South Carolina, eastern North Carolina, and the Atlantic coast of Virginia (both 1990 and 2012). If great protection and care is taken they may survive in zone 7, which includes the remaining parts of the South, as well as the entirety of the urban Northeast south of Connecticut (both 1990 and 2012) .

Interesting. I wouldn't mind hearing more about your telescope view in the future.

Much of the Southeast reached first frost and first freeze more or less simultaneously this year; before that first big cold wave it stayed well above freezing, then that first big one tipped them over.
Already warming fast here. Only 48f this morning thanks to a jet that can't dig down far enough to clear us of clouds. Insane dew points come back by the weekend and mid 80's and maybe upper 80's inland by Monday.
Back after a week in the northern PA wilderness. Had a low temperature up there last Friday morning of -3F, crazy amount of snow up there too, 7" or so.
It was nice to see a good amount of snow at home yesterday. Only reached 25F yesterday at my house. Low was 21F this morning
Very minimal freezing drizzle this morning but enough to cause a 20+ car pile up on an icy bridge that is a main artery between a couple big suburbs during this morning's rush hour. Fortunately I made it to work without a problem. And before rush hour more than 20 accidents and slide offs were reported on a 10 mile stretch of I-65 south of Indy due to icy roads. Thankfully the temp is supposed to rise above freezing today for the first time since noon Monday and stay above until at least Sunday night. In fact, we may hit 60 on Saturday after the past two days have been in the 20s!
