“In Southern Oregon, we got our first sub-freezing morning 9/3.”
Is that normal for you? All indicators here in SW Wisconsin is that Fall is going to come early this season. Trees are already turning up north, which is kind of early. Our nighttime temps have dropped by 20 degrees in the past week - which is welcomed after the heat we’ve had. Nut trees have dumped just BUCKETS of nuts this season, making squirrels and chipmunks VERY happy. ;)
Further indicators are that the Midwest is in for a VERY cold, possibly record breaking winter, but more snow to the east versus all of it in MY yard. ;)
I’ll post the Old Farmer’s Almanac predictions in another post.
I'm telling ya, there IS something to the 'Solar Minimum' that we're currently experiencing. Bring back the Sun Spots! If you're in a predicted Cold/Dry area, make sure to mulch heavily over winter!

I’ve been tracking this “first fall freeze” date for many years. It’s quite reliably between 9/1 and 9/10 each year with 9/3 being the most common. This morning was 35 with no further freezes in the predictions for the next week.
Our trees are dropping yellow leaves all over the place. Early winter coming, I think.
