On the morning of October 23rd at 4:45 am the temperature went below zero for the first time since the spring. It stayed below zero for almost 4 hours with the lowest temperature being -0.9°C.
The bigger news is that by my calculations the frost free season went from May 1st to October 22nd this year which is a total of 175 days. This is the longest frost free season I have been able to find since records began in the region in 1915. This year just beat out 1941 when they had a stretch of 174 days above zero.
For full disclosure I just want to mention that there isn't enough data for 1937 and 1938 to be included in the analysis.

Maybe not the official frost day, but there was frost on the roofs in the Queensmount area in the morning of the cold night we had back a couple of weeks ago.
