    Ground frost or air frost :D #
    Air frost around here is usually early November, have seen ground frost as early as now, but it was a "one off".

    Usually around mid-November for us. So I'll guess November 15th.

    When I lived in Vermont (that is in New England [​IMG] ) we had a killing frost August 28th one year.

    Yes she was in a tent IMP , I must admit to being sceptical myself, but it did turn quite cold that night. She must have been in a frost pocket. :D
