Cooler air settled into parts of Newfoundland early on September 2–3, bringing the season’s first frost to inland valleys. Badger registered early morning lows of 3.1°C and 2.5°C. Under clear skies and northerly winds, several areas saw temperatures near freezing, an early sign of the shifting season. For coastal regions like St. John's and Gander, the first frost typically doesn’t occur until mid to late October due to the Atlantic Ocean’s moderating effects.

Where’s the frost? Southern U.S. hits freezing before Toronto, Montreal
Toronto and Montreal have remained above the freezing mark every day for almost six months. While frosts and even some snowflakes have intruded across parts of Ontario and Quebec in recent weeks, the two cities have yet to reach that magic number. What’s even more remarkable is that a handful of communities across the southern United States have already dipped to the freezing point--and some have even seen accumulating snowfall. DON’T MISS: Official: Canada records first -30°C reading of the seasonThe last time we saw a freezing temperature in either Toronto or Montreal was the second-to-last week of April. Toronto hit -1.3°C early on April 20, while Montreal dipped to -2.0°C the following morning. Our average first frost in both cities occurs right around the middle of October. But warmer-than-normal years can see this milestone slide several weeks past due. Montreal once had to wait 207 consecutive days for its first frost, with the city’s first subfreezing temperature in 2017 waiting until Nov. 7. The latest Toronto’s had to wait to hit the zero-degree mark was Nov. 13, 2022.
