Our first freeze occurred on November 12th, but we had two days of 22 degrees, one day of 23 degrees, and one day of 24 degrees, providing us with early hard freezes. November temperatures were well below normal for our area.

I don't have much confidence in long term weather forecasts because they are usually wrong. The winter forecast for Utah and the west is for warmer than normal temperatures, and normal rainfall. Already, we've seen temperatures well below normal, and rainfall is still well above normal. So we'll see how it plays out. Unfortunately, the false preoccupation with "global warming" leads many weather forecasters to expect warmer winters and warmer summers, than normal. But when the real temperatures are recorded, they don't show up that way. Last winter and spring we had an El Nino weather pattern, which does provide warmer, wetter winters and springs, which is what we had. But El Nina weather patterns bring cooler, drier weather--and that's what I expect for this winter and spring. This would be a return to normal.
