We briefly touched 37 degrees here this morning at about 7:00 AM. That got me thinking about first frost.

Use this thread to let us know when you see first frost for your area.

The closest back yard Wunderground station to me (about 1 mile due east of me) hit 33.2 degrees at 7:49 AM this morning. But I didn't see any frost, and this particular stations low temperatures always seem to be a few degrees below the other Wunderground back yard weather stations around here.

We have seen 35 degrees, but no frost yet. It will probably be another 2 weeks, thanks to the heat stored in the lake. Before you guys wish for the same, remember that it works the other way in April and May.
