LOOK OUT BEAUFORT!

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

it seems that us blufftonians will get our first official freeze this coming weekend! http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=29910&hourly=1&yday=347&weekday=Friday

Johns Island, SC

Do you really believe those forecasts, diehrd? Clearly we've got a cold front headed our way. Happens every season, so that's probably a fairly safe forecast. But these jokers can no more predict actual Hi's and Lo's than they can predict college football scores, or number of marbles in a jar. Best thing is be prepared, because you KNOW cold is coming, sooner or later, no matter what the pundits "forecast". I don't even listen to them anymore...too many wild goose chases over the years.

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

lol i know what you mean.... they rally do get frustating. we already had a frost, but supposedly it didn't freeze, and was only 34. W/E! i'm just sayin that this time, (if it does freeze, which i hope it won't) then it will be our first "official" one since they predicted it ahead of time

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

I always use the WTOC website. For Bluffton they're pretty close to dead on 2 or 3 days out. Over 3 days forget it. Ocean is still warm so I wouldn't worry to much about a freeze. Inland yes, where you are no. I bet Sun City will get frost. Traditions I-95 will. Oh I mean Traditions Hilton Head. LOL.

hahaha thats funny! why'd they make that anyways? i really want to go see it, but it seems like it would hve been better to make more plantations or something like that.either way i guess i'll go out and cover the poinsettia to keep the blooms safe

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

core whats the url for wtoc? wunderground.com is forecasting 33 now so hopefully it will continue to be warmer

Those temps will be a switch, seeing as we've broken records for highs the last several days. I'm just hoping the forecast for rain comes through for today.

Doing my little rain dance, currently to the tunes of the Reverend Al Green, while I clean the house.

i just woke up (yes i know i'm a night owl!!!) to rain here.... hope some comes up your way soon!

Seabrook, SC(Zone 8b)

Just... woke... up? Ah, to be a teenager again and still have the ability to sleep like a stone. I've been up since 5.

It is raining here. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

J

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

i'm sorry... but yes it is nice to sleep glad to hear it's raining. where is seabrook? and wy were you up so early? if you don't mind me asking.

Johns Island, SC

It spit a little up here by the Limehouse Bridge this morning...just enough to wet surfaces but not help the ground moisture even a little bit, I hope it's not over, but it's getting much brighter out there, so I think it's over. Rats!!!

Seabrook, SC(Zone 8b)

Rats! There is more rain out there but it looks like it might stay to the west.

Our mailing address is Seabrook, but we're in Sheldon. Right near the Old Sheldon Church.

I get up so early because I'm one of those deviant morning people and 'cause I have a gazillion animals that I need to take care of before going to work.

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

oh i c..... we have a tornado watch now

Seabrook, SC(Zone 8b)

Yea, noticed the tornado watch. 'til 6am.

"Tornadoes...hail to 1 inch in diameter...thunderstorm wind gusts
to 70 mph...and dangerous lightning are possible"

The National Weather Service is such an optimistic group of folks. ;*> Think I'll go put all the fur kids to bed.

J

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

fur kids! at first you meant children with uncontrolled body hair! i'm so literal

Georgetown, SC(Zone 8a)

We got nearly 1 inch of rain. (yay) Looks like mid-20s tonight for Summerville. :(

Jacksonville, FL(Zone 9a)

Everybody pray real hard that this wind keeps up for the next day or so. That should help keep the frost from settling.

We just came home and there is 1 1/2" in the rain guage. WooHoo.......

It is 50 degrees here right now but it feels much colder and I swear it smells like snow.

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

i'm not the only one that can smell snow???? i always thought i was the only one.... (out of the 7 times i remember snow). i kinda want the wind to settle a bit (not completely) because it is blowing the christmas decorations i worked so hard for off. also it is blowing the covers off the plants i want to protect >:-(

I have 40 degrees right now, going to be a little chilly tonight. Snow? Come on I've never seen snow here. One morning at like 5:30 I saw a few flakes go by and that was it.

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

i didn't mean it was going to happen it just kinda smelled like it does before it snows and is real cold

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

i don't think it quite got to freezing here but darn close. i set a cup of water out exposed last night, and today it is not frozen. no frost because of the wind and the ground seemed warmer than the air. our thermometer is reading just barely above 32*F at 7:00 am. how did everyone else fare???

PS wish me well on my exams today!!!!!

Jacksonville, FL(Zone 9a)

Good Luck!!!!!!!!

It got down to 38 here, Brrrrrrrrr

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

No frost here.

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

thanks it was a short day... i think i made a C on bible :-( for that class, a C is like failing! but at leat i did well on biology... only 3 more then BREAK!!!!!!
PS the window in one of my classes was left open all weekend and i was shivering during the exams!

Seabrook, SC(Zone 8b)

We were right at 32 this morning, too, but I didn't notice any frost, either.

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

My calculus professor use to leave the window open on purpose. He didn't want anyone drifting off to sleep. LOL.

A C on bible? Your going to stoned at the next retreat.

Settle down hippies.

I didn't mean that in a good way.

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

lolthe bible teacher likes me, plus we won th review game.... i'm not a total flunkie! my biology teacher should do what ur clculus prof, did..... he is so boring and monotonous

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

The most boring class I ever had was a basic programing class taught by an Indian lady. Literally she would open the book and read from it. It was a twice a week course so I think it was a hour and 20 minutes long. She started giving a daily quiz because no one was showing up to her class. I read the Wall Street Journal everytime I went to that class. front to back. LOL.

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

haha that is like geography last year....but i texted and talked..... and my whole row started a massage train!

Georgetown, SC(Zone 8a)

Exactly 29 on our back porch at 7 this morning, 35 in the "greenhouse", and frost on the windshield.
Only noticeable casualty were the remaining impatiens.

Tonight has me worried, though. :-]
