Frost & Freeze Alerts: Why They Are Issued & What It Means for Farmers

As seasons change, we begin to see Ice Warnings and Freeze Admonitions. Anyway, alerts’ meaning could be a little more obvious.

Ice Warnings are given when low temperatures are figure to be somewhere in the range of 33 and 36 degrees on clear, quiet evenings during the developing season.
Freeze Admonitions are given when huge, boundless temperatures are estimate to be at or under 32 degrees during the developing season.

Hard Freeze Alerts are given when temperatures are supposed to be 28 degrees and underneath.

Reason
These alarms are helpful for ranchers. They give them an early heads-up when cold temperatures might affect their yields. The main broad freeze throughout the fall ordinarily denotes the finish of the developing season. From that point onward, these cautions will never again be given until the end of the fall and winter.
The mountains previously had the principal freeze this fall, so the developing season has finished in Western North Carolina.

Here in the Piedmont Group of three, we have had a few chilly mornings, yet we are as yet looking out for that first far and wide freeze, which for the most part occurs around the center of October and as late as early November.
