We were at 37F at 11pm last night and I thought we'd have frost again this morning but a storm front approached so we didn't drop any further and didn't get frost. We now have high winds (gusts expected up to 45mph) and rain. Great for ducks!
Man harvey. You get a lot of cold temps and frost out there in the delta. I wonder why? And yes, in CA we do get frost on still calm cold nights. At 38F? maybe yes I guess it is possible. But temps are recorded at 6ft high where it might be 37-38 and at the ground level 32. It still needs to be 32 to form frost.

Frost - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Here is an article for all of those interested in the different ways frost forms
