Frost ?

[RedCloud]

The old wives tale is: As soon as you hear the first cicadas it is only 90 days till the first frost. Over the past few years I have known about this I have noticed they are fairly accurate. The frost has come within a week before or after the 90 day mark on the calender. Just remember it doesn't have to be below freezing to frost .

Who all has had a light frost so far ? We should have had one here the other day but it was still raining and it didn't get a chance. The cicada said by Oct. 5th for us here so was just wondering if anybody has had any yet.

Not here. I think it would have been close without the rain two days ago, but nothing so far...

Nothing even close yet. Redcloud, that area around Mansfield for some reason seems like it's colder then a witch's tit. Full moons seem to increase the chances of a frost, the next is Oct. 23.

No frost here either. I still have tomatoes ripening.

Been too cloudy here for frosts. Hopefully some frost on the pumpkin pretty soon though. We need some weeds knocked down.

 

[Archertl]

No frost here either but it wont be long.

 

[Buckmaster]

No frost to report from Portage Co as yet. I still have tomotoes ripening as well.

Could be tonight in these parts, clear skies and low of 38 in the forecast.

Nothing like a good frost to get the deer moving. Glad I will be in a tree at first light .

We've had some very light frost this week, sure feels like we could get it tonight.

I was wrong, no frost this morning.

Just a smidge of frost on the old pumpkin this morning for us. First of it's kind around here...
