Early for First Frost?

According to this

The recent frosty nights, here, have come about a month earlier than the average, what about yours?

We've had frost a couple of times this week, looks like we might get another one tomorrow morning!

We've had a couple of light ones but this morning neighbour was out there with the scraper clearing his car.

We had our first one last night and all my still-flowering begonias went flop-bot.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

I had to scrape the car this morning, the frost was a lot heavier this morning than yesterday’s first one. According to your link Mum, 3 weeks early for me

Even we've had a few this week, really early for us, December, January and February are usually are our months.   With water all round us we are usually a few degrees above inland areas but I do live in a dip on the Island. Fortunately doesn't take much to defrost the van to go to work.

At least two this week, so the leaves on the trees will really start to get anxious from now on!

Funnily enough, our trays of lobelia are just everywhere still - they're usually gone weeks ago, but they are near a warm conservatory, and up off the ground by 18".
