First Frost Day

At 5:00 am on the morning of Tuesday, October 7th the temperature when below zero for the first time since the spring, making it the first frost day of the fall.

The last time we had a frost day was back on May 1st. This made for 158 frost free days during the summer, which is exactly the average over the last 10 years.

Frost on my pumpkins. Feels good! I tried to water my garden mums. Just a trickle came out. I thought there was a kink in the hose. But no. It was cold enough for ice to block my garden house!

Queen Westmount area frost was heavy on the house roofs. I love crisp fall mornings but looks like mother nature is going to ruin it for Thanksgiving weekend, hot.

Remember last year, hot and humid visiting down London way. Cooking a turkey and my sister refused to turn on the air con because it was October.
