Snowed at my house last week. The farmers almanac had the first light freeze set for 10/21 with a 30% probability before. So it seems wee are still right about where expected.

not that the rest of your information is incorrect but Farmers Almanac is pure bullshit

It’s an estimate of the first frost based on past years. It’s hardly witchcraft.

It is, in fact, almost entirely bullshit.

Again, it’s the first frost not the prediction of months’ worth of weather…

Actually all it says is that they predicted there was a 30% it would be earlier.

Except the NWS thinks otherwise…

Don’t you hate getting downvoted for being right?

I'll be that guy. You want to know what's correct? First freeze of the year was in January.
