Frost Advisory

The National Weather Service reports today that:

A FROST ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO 8 AM
EDT TUESDAY.

AN UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR MASS OVER NEW ENGLAND COMBINED WITH A MAINLY CLEAR AND CALM NIGHT...WILL ALLOW FROST TO FORM IN MANY SPOTS FROM THE FOOTHILLS ALL THE WAY TO THE COAST. SOME OF THE NORMALLY COLDER SPOTS COULD FALL BELOW FREEZING... BUT A HARD FREEZE IS NOT EXPECTED.


Looks like it will be cold but calm. There were many students who looked at me like I was crazy when I told them they needed a hat and mittens, five pairs of socks and 2-3 fleece layers for a hike in May.

Tonight they'll be wearing all that and be nice and warm!

Perhaps they will even get a chance to witness some 'snow' (the condensation kind) inside of their tents. Those hats will surely be appreciated then! Of course, you will fill them in that it might be 90 degrees by the end of the week...? Now that's crazy, but just about right for New England.

Right! That could certainly happen! It's always kind of weird for the students to come back from SophX and then find themselves sitting on the front lawn of Meservey for graduation.

Quite different weather and environment!
