A frost (29 degrees) at my house again Sat. morning. Sure glad that we covered the vegetable garden for the second night in a row. We are, this weekend, harvesting much of what's not been harvested yet in our garden. We put up 40 meals of sweet corn (we froze it) last Thur. anToday I harvested 16 winter squash (we have about 11 more left in the garden). Tomorrow we will start to dig up the potato's. My wife picked 6 cabbages today that are almost volleyball size (she grows incredibly large cabbage). We picked, and gave away, about 35 pounds of cukes on Fri. (after putting up about 20-25 jars of pickles). We've been giving away cukes for over a month. Our garden this year is bumper-cropping almost everything that we planted.
Who's got the first frost of the fall?

I like the creeping darkness.
Relax, day is still longer than night for a few weeks....

IIRC, North of Hastings is a nice area. I rented in Burnaby for 6yrs and then moved out to Surrey (only place affordable at the time). I'm only about 15mins from the Peace Arch border.
Used to be September, but now it's into middle October or so. (SE Pa.)
Mark, when I was up north in early July, it was light until 11pm. But, when Feb rolls around it will be dark by 4pm.
30C (86F) today in Vancouver.

Little of a generalization seeing there is a ~30 degree spread in daytime highs dependant on location
I lived on Pandora, which is 2 blocks north of Hastings. It was an okay neighborhood, though we had grow houses on two sides for a while.
The best thing was that I was only minutes away from Cockney Kings fish & chips....
Frost? What the heck's frost? Yeah, I know, the old expression, "Frost on the pumpkin . . ."
Huh. Down here in The Swamp, the pumpkin sits there sweating like everybody else. I'd love a change of seasons.

Highs past 100F until 10-days ago, and nights in mid-80's. Finally, an inch or more of rain (all day lightly) and highs in mid-80's with low's in the 60's !!!!
"Winter" kicks off here on New Years Eve (several famous ice storms to commemorate such), and is usually over by late February. Spring and fall each last about two weeks.
Summer is another story.
