Today we had a heavy frost. No surprise there; it was about 22 degrees this morning. But even though the temperature rose into the mid-40's this afternoon, there were still pockets of frost in the shade that never melted by late this afternoon.
You can certainly feel cold pockets as you walk around the valley that is Crow's Nest. Cold air pours off the surrounding hills and collects in the hollows. The sun will do a better job of warming the ground in February—when it climbs higher—than it does now.
