Hi Noah, no frost here yet but we did get some snow flurries last weekend. Its really just cold and wet here and the autumn colour hasn't really happened, some of my tridents are dropping their leaves green.
The frost looks beautiful and is a great bug killer

Its cold when you stand having a pee, then you break it off not shake it. That is why I live here, where I do complain we do not get good colours. I remember cold.
Like your hand stuck to your tin snips when you pick them up. Much prefer when you pick them up its hot you can throw them away but not when there stuck to your hand.

Cheers a warm Pup.
