We went from above normal temperatures to below normal temperatures.  The past couple of weeks have been cool (highs in the 30s and 40s Fahrenheit).  It has snowed three or four times.  It is incredibly dry.  A burn ban is effect in our county - something that - as far as I know - has never happened this early.
