What is the coldest temperature you have seen at your house so far this Fall?

I live in Maine and last night it was 3ﾟ before I went to bed at midnight.

It's too badd it got cold fast this year I got a late start growing chili peppers this year and a lot of them were unable to fully ripen I worth growing jalapeno peppers serrano peppers Cayenne peppers Habanero peppers and ghost peppers and I brought them in out of the cold a few weeks ago under grow lights but that was only in the loft above the garage which is not weatherproof and it still got too cold in killed the plants so I am going to have to start really early next year

@exexec For Texas that seems a little cold but it's not to bad

@exexec The coldest I've ever seen it on the thermometer at my house here in Maine during the Winter is -25

@Jeremazing13 We rarely have a hard freeze, and this is early for even a light one. There was ice on the bird bath, so it froze a little.

@exexec That's crazy for Southern Texas I know most of the country has been a lot colder than normal Which is unfortunate as you can read above it really affected me growing my chili peppers this year but I will definitely get a earlier start next year start them in small trays in the house in February in when I'm sure it will not go below freezing at all I will then put them into plant pots outside I never plant them in the ground because I'm never sure if they will all be ready to pick before it gets too cold outside
