We had our first hard frost low -4C/ high 3C high on Tuesday. Cold but not record cold for this time of year. The record is a high of -11.8C set in 1891. The first snow fall is forecast for tomorrow. It was warm and dry prior to that. This region suffers from drought during solar magnetic minimums and has very cold winters. William, it would be useful to know where you are. Maybe you could add your location to your profile?

The winter came early here in Norway. The temperatures for the last 2 weeks~ have been several degrees below normal in most parts in Norway.
The trees here in trondheim are oddly enough greener than average even though it has been cold.

After a short shot of summer in Septebmer, seems we are going to have snow and very very cold temps for early October in my area. IN fact, a quit large area.

Southern Idaho, USA 114 West, 42 North. 3800 ft 4" - 6" of heavy snow. Sunday October 4th. Normal first significant snow is Late November. Normally the Garden freezes mid October, Just enough time for the tomatos to rot for Halloween! Potatos have not been harvested yet. The 1" of water must dry before the equipment can get into the fields. Many fields of Silage corn are unharvested, the last cutting of alfalfa is under snow. We'll see what this does to the spot prices.

It does appear from the cdc reference that the warm areas seem to have an inverse correlation with the number of temperature sensors, is this a regular occurrence?

Those spikes during spring and fall often happens anyways. Nothing unusual about it at all. The low temperatures during beginning of summer looks more unusual to me.
