We had a killing frost on the morning of 2010 October 09.  It wiped out the tomatoes and beans and much of the yard was white.  Since our "average" first killing frost is October 10, this was pretty normal.  We had sleet on the morning of October 06.  This was the earliest I have ever seen frozen precipitation (excluding hail) anywhere, much less New York.

I'm sure this will be the final summer weather update of the season.  Our last day at or above 86º F. was 2010 September 24.  We still haven't had any frost.  We reached 37 one night before the temperature warmed toward morning.

Five consecutive days at or above 30 degrees started the day I returned from a two-week trip to Utah, during which the West was experiencing record heat.  Yay.

Nineteen consecutive days at 80º F. or warmer.  Most have been extremely humid.  Or house has not been cooler than 77º F. during that time.  Most days the indoor temperature has not gotten below 79º F.  (The nights have been warm, too.)  This summer sucks.
