Is anyone else freaked out by how late the frosts have been this year? Up until about a decade ago, the first frost came in the last week of September, like clockwork. In Central VT we'd have had fifteen frosts by now, and nearing the point where it dropped below freezing every single night. This year we've had...three frosts, I think? Including last night.
Yup, a drastic change! I think about a month late in my area, but I don't know for sure yet since we haven't had a frost.
That last time I saw hard data, about 10 years ago, the frost-free season in Vermont had already grown a couple of weeks on either end. It would make sense that it could be close to a month on each end now.
