Yeah, I believe it, Dennis. We had a frost advisory here last night, but it only went down to about 50. Some of the mountains north of here probably did get it though. I'll enjoy the nice weather today (Hi of 72, dewpoint in the 40's) because that mess in the midwest is supposed to arrive here tomorrow in time for our picnic.

At His Elevation

of 7000 feet, May 30th would be a fairly typical last frost day of the season. Down here at 4500 feet we have seen frost as late as April 30. Technically, 31F is not a killing frost nor even a hard freeze but cold sensitive plants can be damaged.
