Typically, 37-38 in town means light patchy frost out here.

Given the amount of work it took (4:30pm to sunset Friday, basically sunrise to sunset Saturday, and 8ish hours total on Sunday,) I don't regret taking this particular weekend--when the wife and kids were out of town and I could therefore work uninterrupted and guilt-free--to do the heaviest lifting on the garden.
But crap.

...ISOLATED POCKETS OF LIGHT FROST POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT ACROSS SECTIONS OF THE PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN OF CENTRAL NC... Winds will subside overnight, permitting temperatures to fall into the mid and upper 30s by early Tuesday. Locations sheltered by the wind will stand the best chance of seeing pockets of light frost. Due to the expected isolated nature of the light frost, a frost advisory is not needed at this time.
