Clearing off this evening, which, in keeping with resultant radiational cooling gives us the perfect conditions for a hard frost tonight. Moncton will fall tomorrow morning, with an expected overnight low of -3C.

Both London and Windsor fell to the freeze list overnight, but I will refrain from updating the freeze list for now, as their temperatures may still fall slightly, and, Ottawa and Toronto are still at risk. Maybe Marty could do a deeper analysis later today........

I'll probably give it another hour or two before digging into the raw data. Coldest parts of their mornings should be over with by then.

EDIT: Toronto did freeze overnight, Ottawa nothing official yet but is hovering around the 0 mark right now. Need the next hourly observation update.

Wild that Toronto froze. Wasn't expecting that, I guess it's moreso Mississauga froze, less warming effect from Lake Ontario. I know this is true for a lot of weather station locations.

I'm not sure if Cobourg froze. The past 24 hour marker shows +0.9C, I know that's not the official number. I always ask and always forget how you find out the official number.

Kingston is the last Ontario city left.

Go to the current date, then the station code, and then click on one of the most recent observations. There are lines of data in there for the maximum and minimum temperatures recorded over the past 24 hours.

For airport stations the code is just the airport code. For all other stations (e.g. Halifax Dockyard) EC has given them unique Cxxx codes. There's a csv somewhere in the directory that has all station names and their codes listed.

It’s overcast and a bit chilly.

We got lucky, the sky was clear and the wind was almost non-existent, but as predicted by the weather models, there was a slight flow coming in off Lake Erie. The low was 2.1 at 2am and started to rise after that, it's now 7 degrees and sunny. All my plants and flowers appear to have survived without damage

But Windsor did fall though (at least the airport).

Everywhere would have fallen except along the lake. I'm nearly an hour from Windsor, the closest weather station to me is Cedar Springs

[giallo]

It was snowing in Edmonton earlier. I missed my connecting flight in Winnipeg due to wing de-icing in Edmonton.

Bah!

[SignalHillHiker]

Still overcast here. I had to walk home through my old neighbourhood after an off-site meeting. I don’t miss it

[MonctonRad]

Only 10 PM and it is already down to +0.2C in Saint John, +2.4C in Fredericton and +3.3C in Moncton.

I am sure we will all fall. I guess the big question is whether or not SJ falls before or after midnight.

[Nicko999]

Very good chance we will end with the warmest monthly mean in the country (we have a much much warmer forecast than Lytton).
Also being more than a degree warmer than Windsor in October is something else.

October mean temperature

Lytton: 14.3C
Montreal: 13.9C
Osoyoos: 13.8C
Toronto: 13.2C
Kamloops: 13.0C
Vancouver: 12.9C
Windsor: 12.6C
Halifax: 12.6C

[Nicko999]

10C and sunny. Chilly day.

Low of 7C this morning. The clouds lingered until about noon before it cleared completely.

The warmspot was Lytton, BC at 16.9C.

Warmest low was Sheringham Point, BC at 10.9C.

I succeeded after several attempts)

shocking

....About 10 percent of the world's forests are Canadian, and over the past four decades, nearly a third of that land has burned.....

[Metro-One]

Kamloops May fall this evening or tomorrow.

Kelowna looks like to tomorrow.

To be be honest, it’s already October 23rd so no complaints getting a first frost now.

[MonctonRad]

Saint John has indeed fallen before midnight (-0.6C at 11 PM).

Quebec City possibly may have fallen too. Hourly observations show it transiently fell to +0.1C overnight. I'll wait for Marty's analysis.
