The Killing Frost (oooh.. sounds literary doesn't it)

Take heart Roanoke, your not about to be lambasted with some inane flowery prose reflecting on death, taxes, and the high cost of waking up in the mornings. Nope - this is just a simple weather report.

From the NOAA NWS: "DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

DIMINISHING WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES WILL PROMOTE FROST FORMATION
TONIGHT AS TEMPERATURES SLIP INTO THE LOWER 30S.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

TEMPERATURES WILL DIP INTO THE UPPER 20S AND LOWER 30S BOTH
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNINGS. FROST FORMATION IS LIKELY. MANY
AREAS WILL SEE A KILLING FREEZE."

Frost? Reports from Moneta-by-the-Lake are they have allready had touches of frost, and we all know
snow has been spotted (and photograped) in the area. 

According to the Farmers Almanac, we are right on schedule for the frost as well.

Frost on the pumpkin? Check.

Snow? According to the Almanac - not till December 28-31st - up to a foot.

Yep, I said that, up to a foot. Well, the book said it. But same thing really.

more later...
