First freezing morning of 2009-10
Roanoke's official low fell to at least 32 briefly this morning, the first freezing temperature of the 2009-10 cool season. Blacksburg dropped to 28 and was below freezing for a few hours, indicating a growing season-ending freeze probably occurred in many areas away from the Roanoke metro area, especially north and west of Roanoke. While the first hard freeze of the year renders additional freeze warnings unnecessary, similar temperatures on Tuesday morning have led the National Weather Service in Blacksburg to issue a frost advisory for the second consecutive morning for locations from the Roanoke Valley south and east.

Had 29 degrees this morning on our back deck, widespread frost in the neighborhood. Good to see the airport got down to 32. Looking forward to sunny days ahead.

So much for the 2009 growing season. That ended this morning in Wytheville with a 26. My pepper plants in the garden look like melting goo.
