The average first frost in Ann Arbor is I think about Oct. 7.

Amazingly, our garden, in which nothing had been covered, shows no sign of
frost damage. Usually our garden runs colder than the official Ann Arbor
temperature, but the dahlias all look happy.

Interesting to read about chilly weather in your portion of the
Midwest. Over here, we haven't shaken summer just yet, or rather warm
temperatures... not that long ago, we had a few 80-90 degree
temperatures. Still lots of sunshine.

Well, it's probably been a while since we saw 90-degree days.

re 30 Uhm, 90 degrees is 10 degrees below the boiling point or water.
Temperatures on Earth have never gotten that high before.

Nothing froze in Jim's neighborhood including the highly frost sensitive
impatiens. But it won't be much longer.

Re #29: A friend of mine who lives in Pullman has been complaining about
the warm temperatures. He says he wants it to cool down so they have at
least *some* comfortable fall weather before winter hits.

Well, I'd like to know what the winds on Lake Erie off Monroe were around noon
today. I think they were above 20 knots. Strong winds, with big waves,
weren't conducive to sailing, after all. So we lowered the sail and motored
in. We weren't sure we'd make it, though, because we making lots of leeway.
(The dagger board was up, to try to minimise rolling.)
As we got back to Ann Arbor, it started raining.

you Canuckleheads can take off, eh? Feelin' pissy because I took
Fahrenheit as a given?
resp:35 I would expect it to be a little cooler in Pullman, though--
at least from the usual weather reports I look at from time to time.

it home.)

It's been hovering between 45-55 here in Syracuse. Still warm enough to
be wearing shorts, although I'm pretty much the only one left on campus
wearing shorts on a daily basis.

I was on the west coast, near Grand Haven, on Wednesday. There was a
strong onshore wind with high waves rolling in. Low clouds, some with rain
showers, were blowing in. It was spectacular.

reply to #37, Hi Joe, according to the National Data Buoy Center there nearest
weather station to monroe is on south bass island, Ohio. (looks like it's near
cedar point) the reported that at noon on the 3rd the windspeed was 26kts,
gusting to 29kts out of the south. (I assume kts = knots) you can check out
their websight at http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.phtml?station=sbio1

Farenhgt scale has three good points on it to judge temperatures,
100degrees=near body temperature, frigging hot for outside air,
32degress=water freezes
0degress=salt water freezes.
On either scale -20degrees is equally frelling cold.

Re #38: From my limited understanding of Washington geography, Pullman's
climate is more like Michigan's, temperature-wise -- hotter than Seattle
in the summer, much colder in the winter. It's also quite dry.
Re #44: Technically, it's -40 that's equally cold on either scale. ;>

(#40: they're coming out here *just* for a car? What kind of a car is it?!
Note that I'm assuming a MI origin of this trip...)
