It Was Lovely While It Lasted

Historically, the the average first freeze for the St. Louis area is October 31st. This year many outlying areas had the temperatures dip below 32°F shortly before that date, but the official weather station at the St. Louis Lambert International Airport remained above freezing.

And then the weather stayed warm. Up until a week ago we were having lovely weather--brisk overnight but warm during the day. On Thursday I turned the furnace on for the first time since March, but the lows were still above the magic 32° mark.  However, if the forecasters are correct tomorrow morning will be the first freeze of the year. It will also be the second latest first freeze in the city's history (the latest was on November 27, 2009)

Time to get out the heavy coats, hats, scarves, and gloves. I am not looking forward to it at all.

  1. Maybe it’s just a cold spell and soon you’ll be back to a warmer temperature. We get that here on and off through the winter. Some days are spring- the next week it’s cold. But it’s good to keep your winter clothes on hand. I packed my summer things but always keep a couple of shorts, and summer tops for those warmer winter days.
    It’s cold here - and tomorrow it’s supposed to get down to 38. That’s freezing. Forecast says for next few days. BrrrrršŸ„¶
