Frost on the pumpkin

The first freeze and frost occurred across a large part of eastern Ontario and southern Quebec last night. The cold temperatures extended into the Adirondacks of New York. So far Ile Perrot and Montreal escaped frost. Cloud cover moved in overnight and the temperature stopped falling at around 4C. Meanwhile Ottawa was 2C, and Kemptville dropped to -1C. South of Montreal and into Vermont and New York temperatures dropped below freezing away from the Champlain Valley with frost reported in many locations. Yesterday was a cool and breezy day with temperatures around 12C. Today and Thanksgiving should be splendid with sunshine mixed with clouds and mild temperatures between 12 and 15C region wide. This is ideal for picking apples, getting that great pumpkin, travelling anywhere in the region, or just eating turkey and watching football!
