So I have still not registered a temp below freezing (32.4 was my coldest as measured by my Davis weather station). I find it fascinating to see how many days below freezing people have had in George, Missouri, Pennsyvlania, Maryland, Tennessee, etc. Last year I didn't go below until 11/28.

Interior LI and farther east they have dropped below, but I guess this is why Long Island was such a big agricultural economy. I've been told we have one of the longest growing seasons east of the Mississippi.

I guess England and Northern Europe are much farther north than I am and they are kept temperate by the Gulf Stream. Interesting stuff.

Finally broke freezing, temp hit 32.1 for about 1 hour this morning. Tomorrow I do the last perennial clean-out in the cul-de-sac and the last leaf blow of significance.
