MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... October 19, 2011 October 19, 2011 October 19, 2011 October 19, 2011 Freezing temperatures arrive in state Apologies to mentor and former Associate State Climatologist Howard Johnson for my wording there. Of course temperatures can't freeze! Faulty prose aside, Chalk up October 19th as the date of the first freeze in the state (at least measured by an instrument) for the Fall 2011 season as the Boise City, El Reno and Foraker Mesonet sites all reached lows of at least 32 degrees this morning. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20111019/today.TAIR.min.grad.png Lots of low-to-upper 30s around so we probably had a lot of frost. There's nothing really remarkable about the timing of this frost, other than it comes on the heels of fairly warm October weather. The timing is in line with our average first freeze dates. And remember, lots of earlier and later frosts make up that average. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20111019/avg_firstfreeze.1981-2010.png Gary McManus Associate State Climatologist Oklahoma Climatological Survey (405) 325-2253 gmcmanus@mesonet.org ================================================== The OCS/Mesonet Ticker https://ticker.mesonet.org/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from the Ticker or for questions about the Ticker or its content Phone or Email the Ticker Manager at OCS Phone: 405-325-2253 Email: ticker@mesonet.org --------------------------------------------------- -C- Copyright 2024 Oklahoma Climatological Survey ===================================================
