Taste of cold temps here in so Cal

It's chilly out tonight with a current temp (as of 4AM) of 37.3 at my place. Not cold by many people's standards but cold by mine. Gonna stay this way for a while too it appears...

Thanks David, I've been mainly lurking with the occasional post, like I told you yesterday .

Anyway the temp now (as of 5am, I check it once an hour on the hour) was 36.7. There also seems to be a very slight breeze that's stirred up, hard to tell if it's the forecasted northeast winds or not though.

We ended up with a low last night of 34.7° here at the ole abode. The NWS has issued a frost advcisory for tonight (which I am shocked that they didn't do last night given that there was frrost everywhere and with it being in the mid 30s) but that's not my call.

Well our 24 hour low won't occur here until midnight tonight when we will probably be down in the mid or even possibly low 20's. Looking for lows in the 15-20F range in our colder spots tonight. Right now, we are around 42F with winds gusting to 25 mph.

Yeah despite waking up at 9 AM today it still felt cold when I woke up. Frost advisories are up.

The NWS seems to have lowered lows for tonight a few more degrees in this afternoon's forecast update. If this holds true, since I was on ther low end of their forecast range last night I wouldn't be surprised if I get down near 30 degrees tonight (which would be my first freeze witnessed in about 4 years here).

edit to add frost advisory

Not as cold here last night with only patchy frost on the rooftops and almost none on the grass thanks to a blanket of high clouds that came in and warmed things up a tad from last night. The low here was 40.5°.
