First frost of the season

The temperature dipped to -0.2°C in 3:30 on the morning of October 13th. This was the first time we have seen a below zero temperature since way back on May 11.

Although the date of October 13th is later than the long term average first frost date of October 1st, it is about average for the 12 years of the UW weather station. As well, the 155 frost free days was pretty much the average length of frost free days we have seen in the last decade.
