CON is 9/27 and it used to be a week earlier with the 61-90 normals. SFM has to be up there with CON and I know LEW radiates decently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five? That's one more than here, which is surprising. We had frosts on 9/30 and 10/3-5 (mid-20s freezes on 3,4) plus the 33° morning with frozen dew on the car roof, 9/17. Our average and median for first frost is 9/18 and average frost-free period is 117 days, median only 113 due to extra-long ff days in 2011 and last year, 156 and 163 days, respectively. This year's 133 was 3rd longest. Shortest was 88 days in 2002, thanks to both a 6/4 frost and our earliest first frost on 9/1. The next year it was only 98 days and no others failed to reach triple digits. Fort Kent was quite different, of course, with the cooler 1976-85 period added to climo. In 1976 we lived along the St. John and valley fog held off the frost until 9/26 and allowed a frost-free period of 138 days. Next highest was 110 and the average without '76 is 95 days, and that's ignoring the light frost of 7/1/78. That year had the shortest ff period at 68 days and including 7/1 it would've been only 44 and would've cut the non-valley average to 92 days. Average first frost at our in-town home was 9/5 and 3 days later at 970' in the back settlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that mixing may prevent dropping below that during the even colder airmass this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to struggle to make it 70 here today it seems, Just checked the home station and its 71°F where we are suppose to be today, The data from KLEW was 1 hour old when i checked it, It was 69°F, Tomorrow looks showery and overcast, So won't do it there, Then its 50's this weekend.

I don't mind some nice mild wx in October. It's nowhere near ready to snow...so why not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I still have the garden to close this weekend and get the tractor ready for winter, So temp wise it looks good for that plus it being sunny, I've waited to long a few times and been out in the freezing temps putting the blower on and weights and chains, New tractor this year so its going to be the first time putting on the snow blower plus it has an enclosure i need to put together, So looks like i'll be on youtube to get it figured out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. 74F so far off a low of 36F. Should hit the nice 40F diurnal swing that signals great weather this time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 73F. Does this qualify as Indian summer? Just looked back over the last 4yrs and we don't frost or freeze until after the 15th and coldest in any of those yrs was 30F. Fryeburg fair must be doing well this week with mostly good wx. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customer of mine does the fair circuit, He was in again last week and was picking up product for the Fryeburg Fair, He just got done the one in Cumberland and told me in the 30yrs he has been doing fairs, The Cumberland Fair 2022 was the best one in those 30 yrs with attendance avg 20-25,000/day from 09/25-10/01. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
