Large scale patterns associated with major freeze episodes in the agricultural southwest

"This Technical Memorandum is geared toward those who are responsible for forecasting minimum temperatures for growers of frost-sensitive agriculture. It is slanted toward forecasting in California, though the principles applied in this document may also apply to other Western Region locales as well. The primary goal of this paper is to get forecasters thinking about frost and to prepare them to forecast frost and freeze conditions before the winter months arrive"--Introduction. Ronald S.
